Projects
ObjectSkin
ObjectSkin is a fabrication technique for adding conformal interactive surfaces to rigid and flexible everyday objects. It enables multi-touch sensing and display output that seamlessly integrates with highly curved and irregular geometries.
HotFlex
HotFlex leverages printed embedded elements, capable of computer-controlled state change, to enable hands-on remodeling, personalization, and customization of a 3D-printed object after it is printed.
