Abstract

Tilt Brush is a VR application initially created by Google that allows users to create sketches and models in a 3D environment. The canvas is the user's play area and through a set range of tools such as the Mirror or the Selection ones, the process becomes much more accessible. However, when it comes to precision and flexibility, it lacks some rather useful features, including basic tools which allow users to draw simple yet perfect shapes or planar surfaces that lead to more detailed projects. Mastering precision is one of the key aspects that makes the process of creation more satisfying, and the easier it is to handle, the better the results and the user experience are. Guidance tools are a set of transparent shapes that can be transformed in various ways, including non-uniformly scaled, and behave as a ruler. The pointer of the brush snaps on the shape's surface and it remains there for the user to draw on its surface until commanded otherwise. These tools are some of the features that help in overcoming some of the precision and flexibility limitations. For example, they make it much easier for the user to draw both simple and complex shapes without imperfections such as curved or inclined lines. As such, I seek to improve the concept of "guidance tools" by increasing their number and variations. With these, the users may benefit from a higher level of freedom and exactness, leading to accurate and more particular designs.
