3Description: An Intuitive Human-AI Collaborative 3D Modeling Approach

Zhuodi Cai

This paper presents 3Description, an experimental human-AI collaborative approach for intuitive 3D modeling. 3Description aims to address accessibility and usability challenges in traditional 3D modeling by enabling non-professional individuals to co-create 3D models using verbal and gesture descriptions. Through a combination of qualitative research, product analysis, and user testing, 3Description integrates AI technologies such as Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision, powered by OpenAI and MediaPipe. Recognizing the web has wide cross-platform capabilities, 3Description is web-based, allowing users to describe the desired model and subsequently adjust its components using verbal and gestural inputs. In the era of AI and emerging media, 3Description not only contributes to a more inclusive and user-friendly design process, empowering more people to participate in the construction of the future 3D world, but also strives to increase human engagement in co-creation with AI, thereby avoiding undue surrender to technology and preserving human creativity.

Human-Machine Ritual: Synergic Performance through Real-Time Motion Recognition

Zhuodi Cai, Ziyu Xu, Juan Pampin

We introduce a lightweight, real-time motion recognition system that enables synergic human-machine performance through wearable IMU sensor data, MiniRocket time-series classification, and responsive multimedia control. By mapping dancer-specific movement to sound through somatic memory and association, we propose an alternative approach to human-machine collaboration, one that preserves the expressive depth of the performing body while leveraging machine learning for attentive observation and responsiveness. We demonstrate that this human-centered design reliably supports high accuracy classification (<50 ms latency), offering a replicable framework to integrate dance-literate machines into creative, educational, and live performance contexts.
