Top > Research Contents > SKIT SKIT †SKIT is the abbreviation of "SKetch Input Tracer" (Those who would like to view the demonstration video first, please see here). SKIT is realized as a front-end processor that makes use of FSCI engine so that it becomes possible to add sketch recognition ability to various existing CAD applications and 3D modellers with less effort as possible. SKIT stays as a background service and as soon as a connection request comes from one of the applications via it's interface module, starts a sketch identification service and enables direct sketch input of geometrical shapes. And naturally when you turn off SKIT, it is possible to use all the enhanced features unique to that application. Even though the development of an interface module -in accordance with a standard protocol- is required for each application so that it can support SKIT, this is possible by a simple program of few hundred lines.
