TraceSpace is a cross-platform application that brings the drawing board into the virtual world. In it you can make sketches, analyzes, drawings and even presentations in an intuitive and natural way. Creating a simple and elegant environment that maximizes the creativity of its user and whoever sees it.

The application generates a new experience for table design criticism. With the application you have the opportunity to carry out the criticism in a virtual table almost infinite in its horizontality where you can paste your images and place tracing papers on them to draw and save everything in a couple of clicks.

Background

This application is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration between students from the School of Architecture, Computer Sciences and Psychology within the Center for Research in Design (CiDi) located at the School of Architecture of the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus.
