As Content and Layout Co-Evolve: TangibleSite for Scaffolding Blind People’s Webpage Design through Multimodal Interaction

Creating webpages requires generating content and arranging layout while iteratively refining both to achieve a coherent design, a process that can be challenging for blind individuals. To understand how blind designers navigate this process, we conducted two rounds of co-design sessions with blind participants, using…

Circuit2Yarn: From Planar Circuits to Electronic Yarns for Textile-based Interactions

Smart yarns hold the potential to transform everyday textiles into functional platforms, yet current methods remain constrained. These include conductive yarns, made from silver or stainless steel, which retain the feel of conventional yarns but offer limited functions, and PCB-based solutions, which add capability at…

DissolvPCB: Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Electronics with Liquid Metal Conductors and PVA Substrates

We introduce DissolvPCB, an electronic prototyping technique for fabricating fully recyclable printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) using affordable FDM 3D printing, with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a water-soluble substrate and eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) as the conductive material. When obsolete, the PCBA ca…

Cybernetic Marionette: Channeling Collective Agency Through a Wearable Robot in a Live Dancer-Robot Duet

We describe Dance^2, an interactive dance performance in which audience members channel their collective agency into a dancer-robot duet by voting on the behavior of a wearable robot affixed to the dancer’s body. At key moments during the performance, the audience is invited to either continue the choreography or over…

Make Making Sustainable: Exploring Sustainability Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities in Making Activities

The recent democratization of personal fabrication has significantly advanced the maker movement and reshaped applied research in HCI and beyond. However, this growth has also raised increasing sustainability concerns, as material waste is an inevitable byproduct of making and rapid prototyping. In this work, we exami…

PCB Renewal: Iterative Reuse of PCB Substrates for Sustainable Electronic Making

PCB (printed circuit board) substrates are often single-use, leading to material waste in electronics making. We introduce PCB Renewal , a novel technique that "erases" and "reconfigures" PCB traces by selectively depositing conductive epoxy onto outdated areas, transforming isolated paths into conductive planes that…

Rhapso: Automatically Embedding Fiber Materials into 3D Prints for Enhanced Interactivity

We introduce Rhapso, a 3D printing system designed to embed a diverse range of continuous fiber materials within 3D objects during the printing process. This approach enables integrating properties like tensile strength, force storage and transmission, or aesthetic and tactile characteristics, directly into low-cost t…

JetUnit: Rendering Diverse Force Feedback in Virtual Reality Using Water Jets

We propose JetUnit, a water-based VR haptic system designed to produce force feedback with a wide spectrum of intensities and frequencies through water jets. The key challenge in designing this system lies in optimizing parameters to enable the haptic device to generate force feedback that closely replicates the most…

SolderlessPCB: Reusing Electronic Components in PCB Prototyping through Detachable 3D Printed Housings

The iterative prototyping process for printed circuit boards (PCBs) frequently employs surface-mounted device (SMD) components, which are often discarded rather than reused due to the challenges associated with desoldering, leading to unnecessary electronic waste. This paper introduces SolderlessPCB, a collection of t…

3D Printing Magnetophoretic Displays

We present a pipeline for printing interactive and always-on magnetophoretic displays using affordable FDM 3D printers. Using our pipeline, an end-user can convert the surface of a 3D shape into a matrix of voxels. The generated model can be sent to an FDM 3D printer equipped with an additional syringe-based injector.…
