An exploration of skilled human gesture and design, Spring 2017.
Project Team: Dyani Robarge & Jack Fogel Human Machine Virtuosity, Spring 2017 MoCap Carve | Final Video ABSTRACT The Augmented Carve seeks to develop a woodworking tool guidance system for aiding in the construction of 3D aggregated irregular geometries, in this case branches. The motion capture system tracks the location and orientation of both tool, a ryoba

Dyani Robarge & Jack Fogel project context | motivation | scope | implementation The system our team is developing harnesses the learned skill of woodcarving and applies this trade to an augmented assembly process. Specifically, the project seeks to augment the process by which individual branches are carefully carved. VIDEO: Wood Carving Half Lap

Clay sculpture is typically a skill learned through practice. Our group took interest in the movements a clay sculptor makes as they sculpt. Is there a trend with the shape, position, or velocity of the tools? We began this exploration by interviewing Miranda Miller, a CMU freshman art student who specializes in clay sculpting work.
