The main contributions of this research include: (i) a deeper understanding of both the
limitations of current CAD systems and designers' expectations of the HCIs for the next
generation of CAD systems has been obtained through case studies and user evaluation
tests; (ii) a new direct, more natural and more intuitive interaction paradigm has been
introduced which enables designers to take fuller advantage of their visual, auditory and
tactile sensorial channels to create, view, touch, manipulate and listen to CAD digital
models easily and freely; (iii) a new 3D freehand sketching design tool has been created
to support a true 3D design capability; and (iv) freeform feature-based design functions
have been developed for use with both direct haptic and sound feedback operations.
