CHI '26Shape-Changing Interfaces & Soft Robotic Materials +2

InSense3D: Designing Smart 3D-Printed Structures Leveraging Ferromagnetic Filaments for Inductive Deformation Sensing

In this paper, we explore the design and development of passive soft 3D-printed structures whose deformation can be sensed accurately without any wired connection. By 3D printing tangible interfaces consisting of flexible TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), made from lattice structures with bespoke geometries and mechan…

Are Semantic Networks Associated with Idea Originality in Artificial Creativity? A Comparison with Human Agents

The application of generative artificial intelligence in Creativity Support Tools (CSTs) presents the challenge of interfacing two black boxes: the user's mind and the machine engine. According to Artificial Cognition, this challenge involves theories, methods, and constructs developed to study human creativity. Consi…

CHI '26Haptic Wearables +2

Knitted Inductive Flex Sensors for Wearable Applications

We introduce a knitted inductive flex sensor which seamlessly integrates a coil and a capacitor into a soft and flexible tubular knit. By knitting enameled copper wires, we form a self-supporting coil, whose inductance changes with stretching and bending. Knitting both a coil and a parallel-wire capacitor, we create a…

UIST '25Electronic Textiles (E-textiles) +1

Embroidering Resonant Circuits for Inductive Pressure Sensing

In this paper, we introduce an embroidered resonant circuit for textile-based inductive pressure sensing. By embroidering enameled wire onto a flexible textile, we create a coil and a capacitor using a single continuous wire. This resonant circuit, combined with a ferromagnetic layer and a soft, compressible material…

DIS '25Honorable MentionHuman-LLM Collaboration +2

Exposing the Ideology of Large Language Models with Creative Practices

Ideology is power exerted by language, whether generated by humans or machines. It manifests in the biases produced by Large Language Models (LLMs), reflecting power relations between users and providers. Following this assumption, we engaged in an artistic critique of how ChatGPT produces ideology. We conducted two e…

CHI '25Haptic Wearables +1

SqueezeMe: Creating Soft Inductive Pressure Sensors with Ferromagnetic Elastomers

We introduce SqueezeMe, a soft and flexible inductive pressure sensor with high sensitivity made from ferromagnetic elastomers for wearable and embedded applications. Constructed with silicone polymers and ferromagnetic particles, this biocompatible sensor responds to pressure and deformation by varying inductance thr…

AUTO_UI '24Head-Up Display (HUD) & Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) +1

Interaction with a 3D Surface for an Innovative Input Experience on a Central Console

This paper explores the development of a touch-sensitive interactive 3D central console for vehicles aimed at simplifying access to tasks unrelated to driving, such as adjusting seats and controlling music. We investigated three console designs with front surface angles of 45°, 90° and 135°. The initial study assessed…

DIS '24Technology Ethics & Critical HCI +1

A Steampunk Critique of Machine Learning Acceleration

The application of Machine Learning is driven by the techno-capitalist struggle for productivity across various domains, including the creative industry. Sociological research has demonstrated how technology-induced temporality introduces challenges at the individual and societal levels. Art creativity conflicts with…

Threads of Traceability: Textile IDs in the Fabric of Sustainable Fashion

Textile fabrication, an ancient human technology, has evolved over millennia, transitioning from a focus on affordability and speed to a current emphasis on sustainability. With Textile ID, we envision a digital garment passport that seamlessly incorporates directly into textile surfaces as a design element to bridge…

DIS '24Universal & Inclusive Design +2

Querying the Quantification of the Queer: Data-Driven Visualisations of the Gender Spectrum

Critical data studies denounce that heteronormative formalisations of sex/gender identity obscure queer lives from datasets and computational processes. Since sex/gender categories cannot convey nonbinarity and multiplicity, this project addresses the inherent tension between queerness and systematisation with an anti…
