In recent years, extensive research in the HCI literature has explored interactive techniques for digital fabrication. However, little attention in this body of work has examined how to involve and guide human workers in fabricating larger-scale ...

Six-Forty by Four-Eighty is an interactive lighting installation composed of an array of magnetic, physical pixels. Individually, pixel-tiles change their color in response to touch and communicate their state to each other by using a person's body as ...

We welcome you to the proceedings of the 4th ACM International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction -- TEI'10, held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the 25th -27th of January 2010.

TEI'10 continues the pursuit of key areas of ...

In this paper we describe the development of Six-Forty by Four-Eighty: an art and design installation composed of 220 interactive lighting tiles. We discuss previous work that addresses the physicality of computation, our design and fabrication ...

Over the past few years, a quiet revolution has been redefining our fundamental computing technologies. Flexible E-Ink, OLED displays, shape-changing materials, parametric design, e-textiles, sensor networks, and intelligent interfaces promise to spawn ...

In this video, we describe a series of techniques for building sensors, actuators and circuit boards that behave, look, and feel like paper. By embedding electro-active inks, conductive threads and smart materials directly into paper during the ...

DinnerWare is an exploration of eating as a medium for computation and aesthetic expression. It consists of a dining service electronically equipped to react to the properties of the food that it holds and respond to a user's eating gestures.

Surfaces capable of modulating permeability have long been used in architecture for environmental control, but have remained largely unexplored as information displays. The advent of new shape changing materials and construction techniques promises to ...

In this paper we describe Surflex, a programmable surface for the design and visualization of physical forms. Surflex combines the physical properties of shape-memory alloy and foam to create a surface that can be electronically controlled to deform and ...

In this paper we describe Sprout I/O, a novel haptic interface for tactile and visual communication. Sprout I/O combines textiles and shape-memory alloys to create a soft and kinetic membrane with truly co-located input and output. We describe ...

This paper describes SMOKS, a pair of electronically enhanced suits that acts as an experimental platform for constructing individual and collective memories, for creating and nurturing social networks, and for personal communication and intimacy.The ...

This paper describes a series of reactive body-worn artifacts that display their history of use and communicate physical (or embodied) memory. These electronically enhanced garments strive to promote touch, physical proximity, and human-to-human ...

DinnerWare is an exploration of eating as a medium for computation and aesthetic expression. The project consists of a dining service electronically equipped to react to the properties of the food that it holds and respond to a user's eating gestures.

eLearning is developing at an ever increasing rate as universities and colleges recognize its vast potential to reach a deeper and fragmented student pool. For a while, eLearning was touted as the future of education, the goal we should be aiming for to ...
