FiberCircuits: A Miniaturization Framework To Manufacture Fibers That Embed Integrated Circuits

While electronics miniaturization has propelled the evolution of technology from desktops to compact wearables, most devices are still rigid and bulky, often leading to abandonment. To enable interfaces that can truly disappear and seamlessly integrate into daily life, the next evolutionary leap will require further…

TactStyle: Generating Tactile Textures with Generative AI for Digital Fabrication

Recent work in Generative AI enables the stylization of 3D models based on image prompts. However, these methods do not incorporate tactile information, leading to designs that lack the expected tactile properties. We present TactStyle, a system that allows creators to stylize 3D models with images while incorporating…

PortaChrome: A Portable Contact Light Source for Integrated Re-Programmable Multi-Color Textures

In this paper, we present PortaChrome, a portable light source that can be attached to everyday objects to reprogram the color and texture of surfaces that come in contact with them. When PortaChrome makes contact with objects previously coated with photochromic dye, the UV and RGB LEDs inside PortaChrome create multi…

InfraredTags: Embedding Invisible AR Markers and Barcodes Using Low-Cost, Infrared-Based 3D Printing and Imaging Tools

Existing approaches for embedding unobtrusive tags inside 3D~objects require either complex fabrication or high-cost imaging equipment. We present InfraredTags, which are 2D markers and barcodes imperceptible to the naked eye that can be 3D printed as part of objects, and detected rapidly by low-cost near-infrared cam…

Lenticular Objects: 3D Printed Objects with Lenticular Lens Surfaces that Can Change their Appearance Depending on the Viewpoint

In this paper, we present a method that makes 3D objects appear differently under different viewpoints. We accomplish this by 3D printing lenticular lenses across the curved surface of objects. By calculating the lens distribution and the corresponding surface color patterns, we can determine which appearance is shown…

MorphSensor: A 3D Electronic Design Tool for Reforming Sensor Modules

MorphSensor is a 3D electronic design tool that enables designersto morph existing sensor modules of pre-defined twodimensional shape into free-form electronic component arrangements that better integrate with the three-dimensional shape of a physical prototype. MorphSensor builds onto existing sensor module schemat…

CurveBoards: Integrating Breadboards into Physical Objects to Prototype Function in the Context of Form

CurveBoards are breadboards integrated into physical objects. In contrast to traditional breadboards, CurveBoards better preserve the object's look and feel while maintaining high circuit fluidity, which enables designers to exchange and reposition components during design iteration. Since CurveBoards are fully functi…
