Amit Pitaru has developed a 3d drawing tool that uses a combination of a track ball mouse and tablet screen as an input device. The result is an interface that will allow for a more freehand approach to the construction of three dimensional lines. While it is still very much in the prototype phase, we are excited to see some attempt to challenge the typical mouse/left hand hot key approach. More images and a description form the creator below.

The hands on the screen belong to James Paterson. He is using “Rhonda”, a 3D drawing tool developed by Amit Pitaru circa 2003.

The first half of the video shows James doing a drawing start to finish. In the second part James is cycling through various previous drawings, created between 2004 and 2005.

For the last several years Rhonda has been shown in galleries, museums, festivals and conferences. We are excited to finally release this video online (about time!).

Even more exciting is that our good friends Zach Lieberman (openframeworks) and Zach Gage (synthpond) have just joined the Rhonda Team! With their help we’re creating stable releases of Rhonda for various platforms. via rhondaforever
