KiriInflate: Fabricating Cross-Scale Inflatables with Large-Magnitude Contraction and Tunable Stretchability for Tangible Interaction

We present KiriInflate, a rapid, precise, and accessible fabrication method for creating stretchable inflatables with Kirigami structures. These inflatables, fabricated at multiple scales (from fingernail-sized to body-sized), exhibit rapid, large contraction upon inflation up to 83.5% and provide tunable stretchabili…
