Fluid Sketching: Bringing Ebru Art into VR

Abstract

In this interactive demo, we present Fluid Sketching as an innovative virtual reality application, which is highly inspired by traditional marbling art. By using a particle-based simulation combined with natural, spatial, and multi-modal interaction techniques, we create and extend the original artwork to build a comprehensive interactive experience. With the interactive demo of Fluid Sketching during Mensch und Computer 2018, we aim at increasing the awareness of paper marbling as a traditional type of art and demonstrating the potential of virtual reality as an innovative digital and artistic medium.
