We present a survey of our recent research on the development of haptic interfaces for simulating creative processes with digital media, including 3D multiresolution modeling and 2D and 3D painting. We discuss the design issues involved and lessons learned. Based on the preliminary user studies, we observe that haptic interfaces can improve the level of usability of digital design systems and assist in capturing the feel of creative processes.

A Voronoi-based hybrid motion planner

We present a hybrid path planning algorithm for rigid and articulated bodies translating and rotating in a 3D workspace. Our approach generates a Voronoi roadmap in the workspace and combines it with "bridges" computed by a randomized path planner with Voronoi-biased sampling. The Voronoi roadmap is computed from a discrete approximation to the generalized Voronoi diagram (GVD) of the workspace, which is generated using graphics hardware. By using this GVD, portions of the path can be generated without random sampling, substantially reducing the number of random samples needed for the full query. The planner has been implemented and tested on a number of benchmarks. Some preliminary comparisons with a randomized motion planner indicate that our planner performs more than an order of magnitude faster in several challenging scenarios.
