MY virtual graffiti system

The MY virtual graffiti (MYVG) system is an artistic medium that uses two sensor gloves, a six degree of freedom hand-held controller (Space Orb 360/spl deg/), a tracking system and dummy spray can nozzle strokes to create graffiti in a fully immersive CAVE environment. It redefines the traditional communication and art form of graffiti using virtual reality technology. Realistic paint splat is simulated directly on 3D objects in the virtual world. The paper describes the interaction devices, spray paint simulation algorithm, 3D colour and nozzle picker and the intuitive user interface for creating and storing graffiti. Users' evaluation result along with some sample graffiti are presented.
