SKIT stays as a background service and as soon as a connection request come from applications via their interface modules, 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. Although development of a interface module in accordance with a standard protocol is needed for each application so that it can support SKIT, this is possible by a simple code of few hundred lines. |&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/HP_poster_skit.png,66.6%,center);| **Image of how SKIT works [#l136a3dd] +) -- Users turns the sketch input mode ON. -- SKIT covers the drawing area of the application with a semi-transparent screen for FSCI. +) -- The user sketches the curve as the input. -- SKIT identfies the sketched curve using FSCI as one of the primitive geometrical curves. +) -- The user turns OFF the sketch input mode. -- SKIT transfers the primitive curve to the application. +) -- The user uses the functions unique for that application. -- SKIT waits in the background |CENTER:&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/1.jpg,30%);&br;(1)Overlay of the screen|CENTER:&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/2.jpg,30%);&br;(2)Sketch identification by FSCI| |CENTER:&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/3.jpg,30%);&br;(3)Transfer of results to the application|CENTER:&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/4.jpg,30%);&br;(4)Unique editing by the application is also possible| **Example of collaborative use of SKIT and practical drawing applications [#b526dcb5] ***Collaboration with 3D CG application Shade [#m95d4b8a] |[[&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/s_shade_1.PNG,50%);:http://sagaweb.csse.muroran-it.ac.jp/b_images/shade_1.png]]|[[&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/s_shade_2.PNG,50%);:http://sagaweb.csse.muroran-it.ac.jp/b_images/shade_2.png]]|[[&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/s_shade_3.PNG,50%);:http://sagaweb.csse.muroran-it.ac.jp/b_images/shade_3.png]]| |(1) Sketch input via SKIT|(2) Menu operations in Shade|(3) Completion of 3D CG drawing| ***Collaboration with photo editing software Photoshop(via Mouse Move Event) [#qc16aafc] |[[&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/s_photoshop_1.PNG,50%);:http://sagaweb.csse.muroran-it.ac.jp/b_images/photoshop_1.png]]|[[&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/s_photoshop_2.PNG,50%);:http://sagaweb.csse.muroran-it.ac.jp/b_images/photoshop_2.png]]|[[&ref(Research Contents/SKIT/s_photoshop_3.PNG,50%);:http://sagaweb.csse.muroran-it.ac.jp/b_images/photoshop_3.png]]| |(1) Sketch input via SKIT|(2) Menu operations in Photoshop|(3) Completion of the pamphlet| *References [#c5e6d7e6] -Vedio of SKIT demonstration(Interaction 2005) |mpg ver.|[[Low quality(mpeg1,360x240,18.6MB):http://sagaweb.csse.muroran-it.ac.jp/movie/SKITdemo_low.mpg]]|[[High quality(mpeg1,640x480 80.6MB):http://sagaweb.csse.muroran-it.ac.jp/movie/SKITdemo_high.mpg]]|
