SOFT OBJECTS: Prototyping for Tactile Interpersonal Communication

Sensory perception plays a fundamental role in how we interpret and relate to people and our environment. While verbal communication dominates much of our interaction, nonverbal forms, such as haptics, present alternatives for connection. This pictorial investigates the potential of haptic interaction through an itera…

Designing Wearable Technology for Opera

“RUR: A Torrent of Light” is an opera combining contemporary stage production with wearable electronic devices to create an immersive experience for the audience. In this paper we share the design and prototyping methods used to create the wearable devices, detail the variety of collaborations required to incorporate…

Documented: Embedding Information onto and Retrieving Information from 3D Printed Objects

Documentation for DIY tasks serve as codified project knowledge and help makers reach new understandings and appreciations for the artifact. Engaging in reflective processes using the documentation can be challenging when it comes to physical objects as the documentation and the artifact exist separately. We hypothesi…

Monarch V2: An Iterative Design Approach to Prototyping a Wearable Electronics Project

Monarch is a wearable electronics prototype that enables the wearer to amplify or extend body language through the use of a muscle-activated kinetic textile for the purpose of augmented social interaction. This pictorial details the second prototype stage with a focus on addressing the wearability [5,14], technical, a…

CHI '18External HMI (eHMI) — Communication with Pedestrians & Cyclists +1

Communicating Awareness and Intent in Autonomous Vehicle-Pedestrian Interaction

Drivers use nonverbal cues such as vehicle speed, eye gaze, and hand gestures to communicate awareness and intent to pedestrians. Conversely, in autonomous vehicles, drivers can be distracted or absent, leaving pedestrians to infer awareness and intent from the vehicle alone. In this paper, we investigate the usefulne…
