TuneCatalogs: Capturing the Goldilocks Zone by Framing Opportunistic Tuning Practices

An often overlooked aspect of making is the art of achieving the perfect fit, property, setting, or aesthetic. Tuning is a common practice, but many in-the-moment adjustments are internalized and rarely documented, resulting in wasted materials, time, and effort. In many cases, only the ideal outcome is recorded, leav…

RheoMap: Mapping Inks, Gels, Pastes, and Slurries within a Rheological Embedding Space using Retraction-Extrusion Pressure Sensor Vectors

Viscous materials such as inks, gels, pastes, and slurries are ubiquitous across domains like food science, smart materials, digital fabrication, and the arts. However, their dynamic and unpredictable behavior—shifting over time and in response to environmental factors—poses challenges, often requiring costly equipmen…

Anther: Cross-Pollinating Communities of Practice via Video Tutorials

Communities of practice (CoPs) play a crucial role in cross-pollination and learning within various skill-based and craft domains. These communities often share common materials, concepts, and techniques across related practices. However, due to their insular nature, exchanging knowledge between CoPs has been challeng…

Shared, Shaped, and Stolen: Tracing Sites of Knowledge Transfer across Creative Communities of Practice

Within various creative domains, communities of practice (CoPs) are instrumental in fostering knowledge creation and innovation. Although each community disseminates knowledge through resources like online video tutorials, this content is often hidden behind different contexts and semantics that limits practitioners'…

Thermoplastic Kilnforms: Extending Glass Kilnforming Techniques to Thermoplastic Materials using Ontology-Driven Design

The ecology of thermoplastic materials is rapidly evolving, enabling an exciting landscape of functional, aesthetic, and interactive forms. Despite their utility in fused filament fabrication (FFF), an even larger and untapped design space exists for thermoplastics. In this work, we introduce a design method that leve…

BraidFlow: A Flow-annotated Dataset of Kumihimo Braidmaking Activity

Entering a cognitive state of flow is a natural response of the mind that allows people to fully concentrate and cope with tedious, and often repetitive tasks. Understanding how to trigger or sustain flow remains limited by retrospective surveys, presenting a need to better document flow. Through a validation study, w…

Tacit Descriptions: Uncovering Ambiguity in Crowdsourced Descriptions of Motions and Materials

Although a picture, GIF, or tutorial video is "worth a thousand words", every viewer has a unique perspective of which words they ‘see.’ Packed with rich meaning, these words, or descriptions, are often used to describe the ambiguity of working with materials, artifacts, and processes in creative practices. Our work r…

Cogcues: Shifting Perception through Interactive Projected Cues in Still Life Drawing

The ability to visually discern shape, form, and value is fundamental to observational drawing. However, developing this skill requires a drawer to perceive a “raw” version of the scene being drawn, often referred to as regaining the innocence of the eye. This work investigates how interactive projected light cues can…

CHI '22Electronic Textiles (E-textiles) +2

Embr: A Creative Framework for Hand Embroidered Liquid Crystal Textile Displays

Conductive thread is a common material in e-textile toolkits that allows practitioners to create connections between electronic components sewn on fabric. When powered, conductive threads are used as resistive heaters to activate thermochromic dyes or pigments on textiles to create interactive, aesthetic, and ambient…

Compressables: A Haptic Prototyping Toolkit for Wearable Compression-based Interfaces

Compression-based haptic feedback has been used in wearables to issue notifications, provide therapeutic effects, and create immersive storytelling environments. Such worn devices are well studied on the wrists, arms, and head, however, many unconventional yet context-rich areas of the body remain underexplored. Curre…
