Open Science Hardware (OScH) refers to open-source alternatives for proprietary scientific equipment. While the OScH movement aims to reduce barriers for scientific experimentation both in and beyond professional labs, disseminating OScH for widespread ...

Online crowdsourcing systems present new opportunities for open and participatory design by enabling distributed and collaborative thinking. The Creativity Kernel is a web-based, open platform that allows designers to crowdsource needfinding, identify ...

We present our work with mycelium-the vegetative part of a fungus made up of fine filaments that can be grown on a substrate to take a specific form-as a sustainable and accessible biofabrication material for DIS. Over the course of one year, our ...

The Open Science Hardware (OSH) movement has been gaining momentum to make scientific instruments widely accessible through open-source blueprints or DIY kits which can be built for a fraction of the cost of their commercial counterparts. Even though ...

Dynamic elements of the drawing process (e.g., order of compilation, speed, length, and pressure of strokes) are considered important because they can reveal the technique, process, and emotions of the artist. To explore how sensing, visualizing, and ...

The integration of new digital and physical fabrication tools with fine arts has the potential to provide new outlets for artistic expression, while at the same time raising questions about the role of material and process in artistic practice. In this ...

Our work links hybrid practices from biology, fine arts, and design in a studio setting to support materially-oriented engagement with biotechnology. Using autoethnographic methods, we present our two-year process of converting an HCI studio into a BSL-...

Dynamic elements of traditional drawing processes such as the order of compilation, and speed, length, and pressure of strokes can be as important as the final art piece because they can reveal the technique, process, and emotions of the artist. In this ...

This paper focuses on manual screenprinting as a DIY fabrication technique for embedding interactive behavior onto a rage of substrates such as paper, fabric, plastic, wood, or vinyl. We frame screenprinting as a process that operates at the ...

Placing information at specific locations in the home provides rich and intuitive ways for people to cope with information, as they leverage semantics of the locations within the home. However, there is no deeper investigation yet on how users would ...

Alongside an expanding community of non-professional biologists, DIYbio is beginning to emerge as a fledgling sub- domain of HCI. However, this emerging subdomain is yet to be in the focal point of a long-term investigation to identify the challenges ...

In this paper we present I-Draw, a drawing tool to assist free hand drawings on physical surfaces. We explore the interaction design space that combines the digital capabilities with the traditional drawing process. I-Draw device has been conceptualised ...

Tangible objects have seen an ongoing integration into real-world settings, e.g. in the classroom. These objects allow for instance learners to explore digital content in the physical space and leverage the physicality of the interface for spatial ...

In this paper we present work in progress on SiFEB, a simple, interactive and extensible robot playmate for kids intended to nurture the engagement in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related activities through playing. SiFEB's ...
