Each new material developed opens a broader pallet of aesthetic and functional possibilities for designers. This paper introduces DIS to biofoam, that is water-soluble, biodegradable, can be made conductive. We describe the in detail: process making from scratch, material's fabrication into forms with hand-craft techniques, present two HCI specific applications biofoam. The biofoam cooked, molded, layered, extruded, dissolved or recooked opening up consider entire life cycle design process....
Smart textiles combine electronics with traditional textile forms, showing great promise in creating soft and flexible interactive systems for human-computer interaction robotics. However, they also present significant sustainability challenges as merge two substantial waste streams: electronics. This paper contributes to efforts by focusing on the integration of biobased materials that are biodegradable, compostable, recyclable design smart textiles. We introduce a Desktop Biofibers...
Sustainability has been addressed in fashion, product design and furniture making fields. Recycling disposing e-textiles a concern this community for years[20]; however, the impact of designing sustainable wearables is still new territory that requires more exploration. This paper approaches sustainability prototyping process by producing make use biodegradable material embedding electronics. We have used mycelium, unlike other materials such as kombucha, algae, or bioplastics, heat...
This paper introduces the Sustainable Prototyping Life Cycle for Digital Fabrication, an adaptation from Assessment method that presents environmental impact of digital fabrication in every phase prototyping. The cycle has four phases: raw materials acquisition, manufacturing and distribution, use, end life. It designers as manufacturers their own fabrication, bio-based are used alternative sustainable prototyping material. We interviewed ten experts introduced use such mycelium-composite...
In this studio, we will explore sustainable tangible interfaces by making a range of biomaterials that are bio-based and readily biodegradable. Building off previous TEI studios were centered around one specific biomaterial (i.e., bioplastics at TEI'22 microbial cellulose TEI'23), studio provide participants the ability to experience wide variety from algae-based bioplastics, food-waste-based bioclays, gelatin-based biofoams. We teach how identify types applicable their own research make...
Researchers, makers and hobbyists rely on plastics for creating their DIY electronics. Enclosures, battery holders, buttons wires are used in most of the prototypes a temporal way, generating waste. This research aims to extend boundaries biomaterials applications into Mycelium is fast-growing vegetative part fungus which adapts different shapes when growing mold decomposes after 90 days natural environment as organic In order create more sustainable prototypes, we use mycelium composites...
This paper explores the temporal dimensions of biobased material design through three biodesigned artifacts: myco-electronics, biofoam for tangible interaction, and dissolving wearables. Each case study demonstrates how temporality, influenced by factors like fabrication techniques properties, affects both process user experience. Myco-electronics, grown from mycelium, rely on timing harvesting to shape form, function artifact. Biofoam, made traditional methods molding, offers designers more...
Sustainability is a multifaceted concept with environmental, social, and economic dimensions, its issues have manifested unevenly worldwide, disproportionately impacting those already facing marginalization. Addressing sustainability requires nuanced global perspectives; however, conversations on within CHI traditionally been centered the Global North. This online-only panel at 2024 attempts to shift focus Souths nurture more pluriversal perspective by understanding meaning, means, politics,...
Bio-based materials facilitate the development of more sustainable devices and wearables, expanding range design possibilities beyond conventional materials. Our work with biofoam explores one such quality, dissolving, as a unique affordance for designing interacting wearables. We developed techniques to make yarns, used them craft three wearables: "Seasonal Footwear", "Reveal Bralette", an "Unfolding Lace Top". These wearables incorporate sections that dissolve in water, allowing...
Microbe-HCI is a community whose works implicate micro-organisms in HCI. This special interest group venue for the first gathering of community, offering an opportunity networking and structured discussions. It encourages participation from both active new researchers to microbe-HCI, with objective acquiring overview people, themes, trends, prospective research pathways community.
The goal of this studio is to facilitate a space in which HCI researchers and designers can explore SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Bacteria Yeast), sustainable biofilm, grown kombucha tea, that acts similarly traditional leathers when harvested dried. While popular biomaterial biodesign DIYBio practices, we aim introduce as for ground it slow design theory. Participants will then gain hands-on experience with through material exploration phase (e.i., learning how embed colors, patterns,...
Dental braces are a semi-permanent dental treatment that in direct contact with our metabolism (saliva), food and liquids we ingest, environment while smiling or talking. This paper introduces braceIO, biochemical ligatures on change colors depending saliva concentration levels (pH, nitric oxide acid uric), can be read by an external device. work presents fabrication process of the device, technical evaluation absorption time, colori-metric measurement tests color map to biosensor level app....
Abstract Electrically conductive hydrogels are a promising class of materials for soft electronics and robotics that mimic the mechanics natural biological tissue. However, these typically derived from petrochemical sources their production involves hazardous solvents monomers limit accessibility environmental compatibility. This study introduces biomaterial hydrogel composite in which percolating network silver microflakes is suspended natural, gelatin‐based matrix. The primarily composed...
The auto-adjustable bra combines new technologies such as soft robotics, computational design, and e-textiles to develop a which uses pneumatic system compensate severe asymmetries in breast volume (Anisomastia). In the present work, aims adjust measurements of woman's breasts through air channels are located internal mesh cup. This inflatable structure gives balance breasts' while holding them. Furthermore, conductive fabric covers cup works sensor control injection by comparing fabric's...
This paper presents the use of weaving as a technique to create functional augmented reality (AR) markers using different textile structures and colors. We conducted experiments with plain, twill, satin weaves, well varying colors in warp, test effectiveness markers. Our findings show that is viable method for creating AR markers, software can detect even slightly misaligned quadrants. work opens up new possibilities design.
