Abstract

3D printing is widely used to physically prototype the look and feel of 3D objects. However, interaction possibilities of these prototypes are often limited to mechanical parts or post-assembled electronics. Moreover, fabricating interactive 3D printed objects is still an expert task. In my dissertation, I therefore explore how to support users in the design of interactive 3D objects and how to automate the generation of adequate sensing structures. Further, I investigate tangible interaction concepts for 3D printed objects. In this paper, I outline my past and future research towards the fabrication of 3D objects in terms of (1) user-friendly design, (2) automation of fabrication, and (3) tangible interaction concepts for the input modalities touch and deformation.

CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We introduce Flexibles: 3D-printed flexible tangibles that are deformation-aware and operate on capacitive touchscreens. Flexibles add expressive deformation input to interaction with on-screen tangibles. Based on different types of deformation mapping, ...
Liquido: Embedding Liquids into 3D Printed Objects to Sense Tilting and Motion
CHI EA '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Tilting and motion are widely used as interaction modalities in smart objects such as wearables and smart phones (e.g., to detect posture or shaking). They are often sensed with accelerometers. In this paper, we propose to embed liquids into 3D printed ...
