Digital rubbing: playful and intuitive interaction technique for transferring a graphic image onto paper with pen-based computing

Published:05 April 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we introduce digital rubbing, which is a playful and intuitive interaction technique for transferring a graphic image directly onto paper. We designed TransPen and MimeoPad to realize digital rubbing. With these drawing tools, children and adults can use rubbing motions to transfer a digital image directly to paper and produce a drawing with a personal touch and natural texture, just as in traditional rubbing. We expect that digital rubbing technique would be useful in arts and design as a new way of expression in the process of drawing and editing ideas. In addition, the suggested interaction devices have the full potential to become new drawing toys for children.
