LAI4D 3D sketch interpreter
Free experimental online tool capable of extracting conceptual geometries from pictures or sketches.
A dual web application that can work as a 3D viewer widget or as a free light 3D CAD tool. This CAD tool incorporates a special design assistant capable of extracting conceptual geometries from pictures or sketches provided by the user as input thanks to innovative AI algorithms.
Additional information: The design of 2D or 3D geometries is involved in most of science, art and engineering activities. Modern design tools are powerful and boost the productivity of designers, but require a lot of training, effort and time to achieve a good understanding and an efficient exploitation. LAI4D is a non-profit R&D project whose aim is to develop an artificial intelligence able to emulate cognitive functions regarding spatial imagination and other capabilities. This technology will help improve the communication between designers and design tools as well as accelerate the engineering process. The practical implementation of the research has been conceived as a dual web application that can work as a 3D viewer widget or as a free light 3D CAD tool providing the adequate environment for the project.
The tool is at a very early stage of development so feedback will be welcome.
