Resumen de HUNCH 1972: A Second Experiment in Sketch Recognition or: "I Know the Concept of Your Concept of Interpolation"
James Taggart developed the sketch recognition system HUNCH at MIT in 1972. Rather than the user trying to understand the software in order to progress a drawing, in the case of HUNCH, the software observed the user sketching. It enabled a conversation between user and software through the sketch as a medium. HUNCH was one component of the Architecture Machine, created in the Architecture Machine Group (Arch Mac), run by Nicholas Negroponte at MIT between 1967 and 1985 and a brainchild of cross-fertilization between architecture, computer sciences and cybernetics in the early 1970s. One of HUNCHs objectives was to enable even the layman to ‘design’ a dream home.
The paper presents HUNCH’s concept as AIequipped ‘partner’ for the architect, designer or layman.
