Abstract
The aim of this paper is to focus attention on the role of the user interface in the field of geometric modeling. The need to handle, perceive and manipulate spatial information in three dimensions and related difficulties as well make the potential benefits of user interfaces particularly attractive. We review some of the recent related work and indicate where future challenges and opportunities may lie.
