DropPop: Designing Drop-to-Deploy Mechanisms with Bistable Scissors Structures

Deployable structures often rely on complex deployment mechanisms such as external pneumatic pumps, electric motors, or manual assembly. These conventional methods, which are intended for applications in shape morphing architectures, robotics, and product design, can be bulky and unwieldy for everyday interaction and…

Transforming Everyday Objects into Dynamic Interfaces using Smart Flat-Foldable Structures

Dynamic physical interfaces are often dedicated devices designed to adapt their physical properties to user needs. In this paper, we present an actuation system that allows users to transform their existing objects into dynamic physical user interfaces. We design our actuation system to integrate as a self-contained l…

FlexTure: Designing Dynamic and Configurable Surface Features

We present FlexTure, a method for creating pop-up kirigami structures with a selectively bonded bilayer. These surfaces enable a new design space for accessible and rapid prototyping of dynamic surfaces. Using a flexible material selectively attached to a stretched substrate, we can create metamaterial surfaces that c…

ReCompFig: Designing Dynamically Reconfigurable Kinematic Devices Using Compliant Mechanisms and Tensioning Cables

From creating input devices to rendering tangible information, the field of HCI is interested in using kinematic mechanisms to create human-computer interfaces. Yet, due to fabrication and design challenges, it is often difficult to create kinematic devices that are compact and have multiple reconfigurable motional de…
