ABSTRACT
Sketching is a widely used activity in creative processes. One can argue that we now have Artificial Intelligence (AI) capable of making better drawings and sketches than humans. Some computational drawing applications build upon human input, be it text, an input image, or even a hand-drawn path using the cursor. However, drawing along a present-day computer yields a very different experience from drawing collaboratively with another person. For one, the shared canvas is likely not a physical sheet of paper but rather a screen of some sort. Even with paper-like computer interfaces, the computer mainly draws back virtually, needing no material embodiment to make a drawing. My research investigates human collaboration with computers that draw, specifically focused on the act of sketching. I build exploratory physical systems that allow people to draw and sketch together with a computer. Through my studies, I investigate interaction design to allow for human-computer collaborative sketching. My initial studies with a first experimental platform show that the computers are social actors (CASA) paradigm also applies to non-anthropomorphic pen plotters when performing a Tic-Tac-Toe playing task.
