| Doodle is a prototype for a tool enabling direct drawing in 3D virtual space. It was designed by squidsoup to be used with the Flock of Birds motion tracking system from Ascension Technologies. The full 3D version allows for creation of drawn 3D shapes (spirals, swirls, faces, handwriting through to more complex objects), and was built as the basis for "drawn sound" and "drawn flora" projects, both still in progress. This online version (requires Shockwave) is more limited, and provides a good example of the challenge to reimplement a typical 2D interface-based application in 3D space. Playing around with the tool can become addicting, though.
