Unity application to convert 2D sketches to 3D models which could be maneuvered around using hand gestures (to a position and orientation of choice) in a 3D scene.

ShakaLakaBoomBoom

Introduction

In this work we present an application to create a scene of 3D objects synthesized from 2D paper drawings and sketches. These 3D models can be moved around (rotated, scaled and translated) interactively using hand gestures with the help of Leap Motion.

This work reminded us of the magic pencil in the fictional television series Shaka Laka Boom Boom, which has the ability to bring things drawn with it to life; hence the name.

Refer the report for a detailed description.
