  • Abstract
    MakeVR is an intuitive and accessible digital sandbox for making 3D objects scenes with game-like simplicity for beginners and with advanced tools for experts. It presents a professional CAD engine through a natural immersive two-handed interface. Users reach into space to move themselves through a geometric playground, placing primitive shapes and more complex objects into the scene and then reaching out to modify them via booleans, sweeps, deformation, and other CAD operations. We conducted a preliminary user evaluation of four participant case studies and plan to use this evaluation to improve the system.
