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…

Designing Accessible and Intuitive Developer Tools for Neuromorphic Programming

Neuromorphic technology offers advantages such as low-power processing, low latency, adaptive learning, and noise tolerance, making it ideal for edge computing applications. However, developers face significant hurdles due to the nascent nature of the field, including limited access to hardware and software, lack of b…

A Qualitative Study on the Expectations and Concerns Around Voice and Gesture Interactions in Vehicles

Multimodal interactions can reduce cognitive load in demanding situations, such as driving \cite{oviatt2004we,nesselrath2013towards,nesselrath2016combining}. While such interfaces are becoming more mainstream in vehicles, knowledge of situational and contextual factors which influence user preferences about these inte…

MechSense: A Design and Fabrication Pipeline for Integrating Rotary Encoders into 3D Printed Mechanisms

We introduce MechSense, 3D-printed rotary encoders that can be fabricated in one pass alongside rotational mechanisms, and report on their angular position, direction of rotation, and speed. MechSense encoders utilize capacitive sensing by integrating a floating capacitor into the rotating element and three capacitive…

Creating Inclusive Voices for the 21st Century: A Non-Binary Text-to-Speech for Conversational Assistants

As voice assistant usage continues to grow, their homogeneity becomes even more problematic with the UNESCO report, “I’d Blush if I could” showing that designing only feminine voice assistants encourages negative behavior, both with virtual assistants and with real people [3]. While masculine text-to-speech (TTS)…

Functional Destruction: Utilizing sustainable materials' physical transiency for electronics applications

Today's electronics are manufactured to provide stable functionality and fixed physical forms optimized for reliable operation over long periods and repeated use. However, even when applications don't call for such robustness, the permanency of these electronics comes with environmental consequences. In this paper, we…

Designing Tools and Interfaces for Ecological Restoration: An Investigation into the Opportunities and Constraints for Technological Interventions

As interest within the HCI community expands beyond urban settings, novel tools and devices are being developed to support more sustainable interactions with natural environments and inform conservation action. Yet little is known about the users of these devices, and how their requirements and priorities might affect…

Iterative Design of Gestures During Elicitation: Understanding the Role of Increased Production

Previous gesture elicitation studies have found that user proposals are influenced by legacy bias which may inhibit users from proposing gestures that are most appropriate for an interaction. Increasing production during elicitation studies has shown promise moving users beyond legacy gestures. However, variety decrea…

Towards Decomposable Interactive Systems: Design of a Backyard-Degradable Wireless Heating Interface

Sustainability is critical to our planet and thus our designs. Within HCI, there is a tension between the desire to create interactive electronic systems and sustainability. In this paper, we present the design of an interactive system comprising components that are entirely decomposable. We leverage the inherent mate…

Self-deStaining Textiles: Designing Interactive Systems with Fabric, Stains and Light

This work introduces “destaining” as an interactive component for the HCI community. While staining happens unintentionally (e.g., spilling coffee), destaining can be used as an intentional design tool that selectively degrades stains on textiles. We explore the design space using silver doped titanium dioxide (TiO2/A…

A Bot is Not a Polyglot: Designing Personalities for Multi-Lingual Conversational Agents

Conversational agents are becoming more common, influenced by the success of Siri and Alexa. As such, new methods and associated challenges of designing for conversational systems are emerging. One factor, unique to conversational agents, that we need to account for as designers, is personality. People attribute perso…
