By putting on a virtual reality mask, holding a stylus in one hand and a tracking device in the other, an artist can draw 3D objects in the air with unprecedented precision. This new system is called “Drawing on Air,” and researchers have designed the interface to be intuitive and provide the necessary control for artists to illustrate complicated artistic, scientific, and medical subjects.

2. Sold! Too bad it's not available yet.

3. I never understood how digital tape drawing was different from vector drawing

in something like Adobe Illustrator.

I can see how this 3d drawing is different. And pretty interesting.

I am sure automotive and product designers will love it.
