We present Sprayable User Interfaces: room-sized interactive surfaces that contain sensor and display elements created by airbrushing functional inks. Since is inherently mobile, designers can create large-scale user interfaces on complex 3D geometries where existing stationary fabrication methods fail. To enable Interfaces, we developed a novel design pipeline takes desired interface layout as input automatically generates stencils for the onto physical surface. After fabricating from...
ProtoSpray is a fabrication method that combines 3D printing and spray coating, to create interactive displays of arbitrary shapes. Our approach makes novel use printed conductive channels base electrodes on This then combined with spraying active materials produce illumination. We demonstrate the feasibility benefits this in 6 evaluations exploring different shaped topologies. analyze factors such as orientations, surface topologies printer resolutions, discuss how nozzles can be integrated...
Abstract: FabricatINK explores the personal fabrication of irregularly-shaped low-power displays using electronic ink (E ink). E is a programmable bicolour material used in traditional form-factors such as readers. It has potential for more versatile use within scope custom-shaped displays, and it promise to be pre-eminent choice this purpose. We appraise technical literature identify properties ink, suited fabrication. key roadblock, universal access material, we deliver method circumvent...
Over recent years, there has been significant research within HCI towards free-form physical interactive devices. However, such devices are not straightforward to design, produce and deploy on demand. Traditional development revolves around iterative prototyping through component-based assembly, limiting device structure implementation. Material-centric personal display fabrication (DisplayFab) opens the possibility of decentralised, configurable production by low-skill makers. Currently,...
Sonolithography is the process of directed patterning airborne particles through exertion acoustic radiation forces in ultrasound fields. In this work we present a novel way to explore and gain intuition about tangible interaction. We demonstrate design use physical instrument for creation sonolithographs. The includes "Orbograph", controller that embodies key parameters direct tactile interactions; low-cost open-source driving circuit; configurable transducer array. its capabilities by...
ProtoSpray is a new fabrication method that combines 3D printing and spray coating, to create touch-sensitive displays of arbitrary shape. Our approach makes novel use printed conductive channels base electrodes shape displays. A channelled object then combined with spraying active, electroluminescent, materials produce illumination. This demonstration involves multiple different devices, created through the process, showing its free-form applicability irregular shapes such as mobius strip...
