Reading #22 Plushie: An Interactive Design System for Plush Toys

Summary:
In this paper, an interactive system is introduced that help users to design complex 3D plush toys.The users only need to draw the silhouette of the 3D shape. Some gestures are also supported to facilitate editing. Realtime feedback are provided by the system to allow user see the initial result of his or her design. The experiment shows that this system is welcomed by both professional designers and novice users.

Discussion:
This system does a good job on interacting with user and aidding them to draw shapes that are hard for them without this system. Like the Reading #21, it is also a system that converting 2D shapes to 3D, but has different application. However, the algorithm used in this system is not very complex, that is why it is quick and support real time interaction with users.
