This more stable version of the Home Sketcher does not generate fabrication instructions like version 1.0. But it still allows users to design their future homes by sketching and expressing space, light, and privacy preferences. Their input is then digitized and fed into an algorithm that automatically produces 3D digital models of the sketched houses. More details about the tool and user evaluation can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1145/3313831.3376636 [Honourable Mention Award].
