Practice System for Controlling Cutting Pressure for Paper-cutting

ABSTRACT

We describe a system for paper-cutting with a knife with a blade attached to the tip of the stylus on a drawing display. The purpose of this research is to support controlling cutting pressure for novices. Novices tend to cut paper with an unstable pressure stronger than necessary. Therefore, some instructors teach practicing to control the pressure to novices We have developed a device to support cutting practice by a stylus and drawing display. We measured the difference between pressures of novices and experts. In addition, we developed a system that encourages appropriate pressure based on expert pressure. This system shows the pressure difference between the user and the experts in color and sound. We experimented to compare the effectiveness of the system. As a result, the novices practiced with the system, the range of pressure and variation improved than the existing practice method.
