              This paper deals with 3D modeling on large displays, for example, concept sketching in the automobile industry, which is done in full-size scale. New methods and interfaces are presented that are aimed at improving current 3D modeling techniques. More specifically, this work extends a prototype "2D digital tape drawing system," also developed by the authors, that supports creation of 2D drawings by mimicking traditional tape drawing techniques. The new system aims at employing state-of-the-art large displays and input devices (sections 2.1 & 2.2), and offers a much improved integration of 2D drawing with 3D modeling (section 2.3): traditional orthographic views are replaced by "enhanced orthographic views," whose construction planes move within the model's cuboid and are semi-transparent so that the whole family of 2D curves and the corresponding 3D model are always visible. This strong connection between 2D drawing and 3D modeling-absent in standard CAD systems-is furthered in the present system by smooth transitions between orthographic and perspective views. The paper also includes a brief presentation of other components of the system, which are results of the work of other researchers. This is a very interesting paper, yet there are a few points to complain about. The authors make clear that the tape drawing part of the system is not new, and this has been described in the reference [1]. Yet, they devote more than one page (section 2.3.8) to reviewing that part of their system. To make things worse, section 2.3.8 fails to enlighten the reader about what tape drawing is. In addition, the authors have put no effort into evaluating their system and ideas. Formal user tests should have been included in this publication. Online Computing Reviews Service
