Sketch is simple sketching application that allows for the quick design of a Kinect-based 3D menu system based on wireframe shapes.  Users can place spheres, boxes, cylinders, and cones of varying sizes and colors in 3D space.  These shapes can be placed in circular, horizontal, and vertical layouts which automatically arrange the shapes.  Sample 3D icons are added to each shape, to give an idea of how a menu system might look.

Project Overview

Sketch is simple sketching application that allows for the quick design of a Kinect-based 3D menu system based on wireframe shapes. Users can place spheres, boxes, cylinders, and cones of varying sizes and colors in 3D space. These shapes can be placed in circular, horizontal, and vertical layouts which automatically arrange the shapes. Sample 3D icons are added to each shape, to give an idea of how a menu system might look.
