Abstract
The advancement of Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology over the past few years has revolutionized the drafting and engineering design fields. In the past, engineering drawings often required hours of tedious labor by several draftsmen. Modern CAD packages have significantly reduced the labor effort. In many instances, only a single individual is needed to manage a project’s drafting requirements. However, even the most advanced CAD packages of today are limited to a 2-D computer screen. Hugli's objective represents the next major CAD evolution – moving from 2-D computer screens to real size 3-D images emanating into open space.

HGCI Application Scenario #1, Equipment Test Rack
The 19 inch rack illustrated at right is to be populated with test equipment, data recorders, and associated power supplies. Space is critical. The objective is for HGCI to start out by generating a bare frame. Engineers and technicians then add each shelf and component one at a time and view the results. Detailed measurements are then recorded when a placement is agreed upon. These measurements will be used to fabricate the actual rack. Cabinet side panels and doors are then added when the rack is fully populated.

HGCI Application Scenario #2, Medical
A team of surgeons are preparing for a potentially risky surgery. A brain tumor is located in a difficult to reach area. The surgeons use HGCI to model the tumor based on X-rays and CAT scans. The idea is to model the tumor and place it in a life sized projection of the patient’s head. Brain matter, bone, muscle, and other tissue are then added one layer at a time to better familiarize the surgeons with the situation.

HGCI Application Scenario #3, Educational
Abstract concepts such as geometry can be difficult for children to learn. Images often have to be visualized within one’s own mind based on 2-D drawings. The HGCI objective is to provide children with a tool to view and manipulate the objects in free space.
