As you move your hand through space, the trail of its motion is recorded by the computer as a stroke. These strokes appear to float in the air, thanks to the head-tracked stereoscopic display environment of the responsive workbench. In analogy to traditional drawing, strokes are combined to make complex organic shapes.

This medium facilitates the early phases of creation that are not supported in traditional computer tools. The resulting shapes have an organic, physical quality. This technology is useful for many situations when people create 3D shapes, from architecture and industrial design to fine art and digital movies.
