3次元ブロックベースドモデリングソフトウェアにおけるだまし絵表現を用いたユーザインタフェース(「アート&エンタテインメント」特集)

We anticipate that employing an enjoyable user interface will excite the user's interest thus enhancing their motivation. Using virtual reality, which is capable of producing effects that cannot occur in the real world, we developed an optical-illusion-like interface for block-based 3D modeling software. Based on this idea, we developed a block-based modeling software called Incompatible BLOCK that has an interface that allows the user to position cubes efficiently as well as enjoyably. In this paper, we describe this interface and the algorithm of Incompatible BLOCK and discuss the effectiveness of the proposed interface based on the reactions of those who used Incompatible BLOCK.
