The absent interface in design engineering

Abstract: In order to respond to the difficulties encountered by CAD software applications in really assisting the conceptual designer, we propose a tool that is capable of interpreting design sketches and feeding data to various project evaluators, right from the early phases in the design process. For that purpose, we use the concept of the absent interface, which is the only interface that is compatible with the cognitive process involved in sketching. In this paper, we present the principles of such an inter… Show more

“…when the broad outlines of the project must be defined and the crucial option chosen [2,12,42]. One of the explanation for this failure relates to the user interface : these tools require painstaking coding of precise data which is only possible once the project has largely been defined [22]. Moreover these systems place users in a circumscribed space.…”

“…EsQUIsE assists the user by providing relevant information (3D model, topological model and energetic needs) on the building being designed. The software architecture consists of three modules (figure 5): the entry module, the interpretation module, and the evaluation module (for more detail see [14,15,19,20,22]). …”

“…Une première explication à cette lacune est l'interface utilisateur. En effet, ces outils impliquent un encodage fastidieux de données précises, qui est seulement possible lorsque le projet a largement été défini [11]. De plus, ces systèmes placent l'utilisateur dans un espace circonscrit : leurs gestes se limitent à des mouvements et clics de souris et leurs interactions sensorielles à une simulation visuelle et auditive passive.…”

“…Et l'utilisation d'une interface basée sur l'esquisse ne devrait pas être conçue comme une amélioration de l'interaction homme-machine, mais comme un moyen d'intégrer l'assistance dans le coeur du processus de conception [11]. Pour répondre à ce besoin, nous déve-loppons un outil d'aide à la conception intégré, basé sur un Bureau Virtuel.…”
