DrawTalking: Building Interactive Worlds by Sketching and Speaking

Karl Toby Rosenberg, Rubaiat Habib Kazi, Li-Yi Wei, Haijun Xia, Ken Perlin

We introduce DrawTalking, an approach to building and controlling interactive worlds by sketching and speaking. It emphasizes user control and flexibility, and gives programming-like capability without requiring code. We built a prototype to demonstrate it. An early open-ended study shows the mechanics resonate and are applicable to many creative-exploratory use cases, with the potential to inspire and inform research in future natural interfaces for creative exploration and authoring.
