That's what you want here. You have a number in your head. You want to copy
it into the computer. You have a continuous, imprecise channel to do so,
namely spoken words.
So you go digital. "Zero", "One", "Two", ...
You lose all the wonderful subtleties ones voice can convey, and you wind up
with something very precise and accurate, by limiting the analog channel to
only carrying digital information.

Nonsense. I'm proposing an alternative to a keyboard, is all. It's not like
I'm recommending that you whistle the pitch that corresponds to the height
of the box you want to draw.

I'm thinking along the lines of organic shapes modeled with hand motions -
not mechanical precision drafting.
I was watching Prototype this today and they mentioned the software that
might be just right for the job on PC: ARToolKit

I've just found this on the net. It looks interesting:

I think it would be nice to have a "hand modelling tool" in Wings3d for
instance =)
