碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工業管理系 === 97 === This study developed a “Chinese painting and calligraphy Program” by incorporating a previous developed “3D target acquisition hand movement system” as an input device. The cursor of the program was controlled and the paintings as well as calligraphy were completed by a free hand movement in the 3D spaces. The system emphasis the merit that we are able to track both 3D hand positions and 3D hand speeds of users while they are performing painting and/or calligraphy. There are two interfaces for the program: main interface and painting interface. In addition to the basic functions of new, save, read, print, preview, question, information, and close, brush size, wetness of ink, posture, and colors were installed to the main interface. Where as in the painting interface, the depth of the hand movement in relation to the painting was visualized using a color bar on the left side of the interface, thus allowed user to realize his hand positions in 3D in relation to the painting interface. To verify the usability the program, a test was performed on 10 subjects. The results showed the recognition rate of all comments is 95.37%. It was demonstrated in the study that users could easily using 3D free hand movements as a simulate brush. The positions and the speed of the 3D hand movement would be used to express a pull, a turn, a pressed down, and/or a lifted up of the brush so as to create various brush bristles and different calligraphic styles.
