RelieFab: Gradual-Depth 2.5D Texture Prototyping using a Laser Cutter

We propose RelieFab, a rapid prototyping method that produces 2.5D textured surfaces with gradual depth transitions. Conventional rapid prototyping methods using a laser cutter can quickly cut out parts for 3D prototypes, but their surfaces can only be flat and smooth. 3D printing offers detailed textures but is time…

MagneSwift: Low-Cost, Interactive Shape Display Leveraging Magnetic Materials

Pin-based shape displays present shapes and motion by moving arrays of pins. However, using many linear actuators to achieve this inevitably increases the size and cost of the device. MagneShape instead uses magnetic force to control the levitation height of passive magnetic pins to display shape and motion. While it…

MagneShape: A Non-electrical Pin-Based Shape-Changing Display

Pin-based shape-changing displays can present dynamic shape changes by actuating a number of pins. However, the use of many linear actuators to achieve this makes the electrical structure and mechanical construction of the display complicated. We propose a simple pin-based shape-changing display that outputs shape and…

MagneLayer: Force Field Fabrication by Layered Magnetic Sheets

Magnets are very useful for the rapid prototyping of haptic interactions. However, it is difficult to arrange fine and complex magnetic fields rapidly. Therefore, we invented a method for fabricating complex geometric magnetic patterns by overlaying multiple magnetic rubber sheets. This method resolves the tradeoff be…

Magnetact: Magnetic-sheet-based Haptic Interfaces for Touch Devices

We describe a method for rapid prototyping of haptic interfaces for touch devices. A sheet-like touch interface is constructed from magnetic rubber sheets and conductive materials. The magnetic sheet is thin, and the capacitive sensor of the touch device can still detect the user's finger above the sheet because of th…
