Abstract

In this paper, we describe a voice-based interaction mechanism to annotate 3D models directly from a computer-aided design (CAD) modeling environment. The audio signal is captured and automatically transcribed to a textual 3D note, which is attached to the geometry and made available to other product information and business processes across the enterprise via a product data management system. Our approach provides a more natural and intuitive method to capture design and engineering knowledge that is particularly effective when large amounts of information need to be communicated. We discuss the rationale of the software architecture and the value of this modality for capturing knowledge in a collaborative engineering context. Finally, we examine the results of an experiment to validate our proposal. Our results show that 3D annotations are an effective mechanism to communicate design knowledge, which suggests the need for further developments in the areas of multimodal interaction methods and interfaces for CAD and collaborative tools.

用于协作计算机辅助设计的基于语音的注释系统

摘要

在本文中，我们描述了一种基于语音的交互机制，可以直接从计算机辅助设计（CAD）建模环境注释3D模型。音频信号将被捕获并自动转录为文本3D注释，该注释将附加到几何图形上，并通过产品数据管理系统提供给整个企业中的其他产品信息和业务流程。我们的方法提供了一种更自然，更直观的方法来捕获设计和工程知识，这在需要传达大量信息时特别有效。我们讨论了软件体系结构的基本原理以及此模式在协作工程环境中获取知识的价值。最后，我们检查了实验结果以验证我们的建议。
