Over the past decade, augmented reality (AR) developers have explored a variety of approaches to allow users to interact with the information displayed on smart glasses and head-mounted displays (HMDs). Current interaction modalities such as...
CHIMERA: Supporting Wearables Development across Multidisciplinary Perspectives
Wearable technologies draw on a range of disciplines, including fashion, textiles, HCI, and engineering. Due to differences in methodology, wearables researchers can experience gaps or breakdowns in values, goals, and vocabulary when collaborating....
FabHandWear : An End-to-End Pipeline from Design to Fabrication of Customized Functional Hand Wearables
Current hand wearables have limited customizability, they are loose-fit to an individual's hand and lack comfort. The main barrier in customizing hand wearables is the geometric complexity and size variation in hands. Moreover, there are different...
C Design Lab at the Greater Lafayette Mini Maker Faire 2019
One more year the C-Design Lab is part of the Greater Lafayette Mini Maker Fair, an event that attracts hundreds of children and makers. This year, people were able to have a feeling of design methods, fabrication techniques, and digital...
SynchronizAR: Instant Synchronization for Spontaneous and Spatial Collaborations in Augmented Reality
We present SynchronizAR, an approach to spatially register multiple SLAM devices together without sharing maps or involving external tracking infrastructures. SynchronizAR employs a distance based indirect registration which resolves the...
MultiSoft: Soft Sensor Enabling Real-Time Multimodal Sensing with Contact Localization and Deformation Classification
Abstract: We introduce MultiSoft, a multilayer soft sensor capable of sensing real-time contact localization, classification of deformation types, and estimation of deformation magnitudes. We propose a multimodal sensing pipeline that carries out...
iSoft: A Customizable Soft Sensor with Real-time Continuous Contact and Stretching Sensing
We present iSoft, a single volume soft sensor capable of sensing real-time continuous contact and unidirectional stretching. We propose a low-cost and an easy way to fabricate such piezoresistive elastomer-based soft sensors for instant...
Toy Design Workshops
We want children to learn through experience. They need to prototype to think. Authentic and active learning connects to their lives and provides a strong foundation in creativity. Furthermore engineering design through design, build and play...
