| Research Abstract |
This research is on 3-D Computer Aided Design (CAD) based on what we call design geometry. The design geometry is a new kind of geometry based on human's Kansei, that considers taste of shapes, and different from conventional geometry at this point. The conventional CAD system is based on simple geometric shapes (straight line, circle, eclipse, and conic splines) and Bernstein-Bezier curve, polynomial splines. The BB curve is considered easy enough to draw out aesthetic shapes, and the most popular tool in industrial design field, however, it has been not very good at fitting to human's Kansei, nor expanding to 3D design. We applied differential geometry to aesthetic shapes and found relationships between human's Kansei and shape geometry so far, and built up a prototype CAD system. This research expanded the former research of us to 3D and brought a new user (designer) interface on top of it.
