ToolDevice is a set of devices developed to help users in spatial work such as layout design
and three-dimensional (3D) modeling. It consists of three components: TweezersDevice,
Knife/HammerDevice, and BrushDevice, which use hand tool metaphors to help users
recognize each device's unique functions. We have developed a mixed reality (MR) 3D
modeling system that imitates real-life woodworking using the TweezersDevice and the

ToolDevice is a set of devices developed to help users in spatial work such as layout design and three-dimensional (3D) modeling. It consists of three components: TweezersDevice, Knife/HammerDevice, and BrushDevice, which use hand tool metaphors to help users recognize each device's unique functions. We have developed a mixed reality (MR) 3D modeling system that imitates real-life woodworking using the TweezersDevice and the Knife/HammerDevice. In the system, users can pick up and move virtual objects with the TweezersDevice. Users can also cut and join virtual objects using the Knife/HammerDevice. By repeating these operations, users can build virtual wood models.
