A design space for three-dimensional curve edition

Abstract

Designing and editing 3D curves is often involved in a wide array of applications such as CAD, multimedia content edition or landscape and road generation. This diversity resulted in a spread of 3D-related works across different communities such as SIGCHI or SIGGRAPH. In this article, we introduce a design space to gather existing techniques in the field of 3D curves creation and edition. This design space is built around two axes: system and language, in order to describe and compare existing techniques.
