Three Dimensional Virtual Calligraphy Simulation with Pen Tablet

The purpose of this study is realization of 3D virtual calligraphy simulation that is able to do on computer with pen tablet sensuously. To do the simulation sensuously, we propose three models. The first model is a 3D virtual writing brush model. The second is drawing field model, and last is droplet model based on unique and artistic stroke drawn by writing brush. These models are able to transform to the most suitable shape by information acquired from pen tablet. This simulation is very comfortable system. Therefore, so many people of various ages were able to do simulation sensuously and gaily in school festival. Moreover, the result of usability inspection, we confirmed this simulation is applicative calligraphy simulation that user can use as accomplishment, hobbies, arts and so on usually and casually in daily life.
