WireDraw: 3D Wire Sculpturing Guided with Mixed Reality
summary
WireDraw is a mixed-reality system that converts a freeform wire model into drawable strokes by optimizing stroke decomposition, sequence, and view direction with simulated annealing optimization. It uses an Oculus headset with passthrough cameras and marker-based pen tracking to render animated, color-coded virtual strokes one-by-one, supports on-the-fly edits with real-time resequencing, and outputs transparent already-drawn segments. A lab study with 10 users for comparisons and a 27-person evaluation shows substantially higher sculpting quality than unguided free drawing.
