We adapt the woven practice for crafting on-skin interfaces. We present the WovenSkin fabrication approach and 8 case studies illustrating the functional and design potential of woven on-skin interfaces.

Best Demo Award

The Office Jungle is an experimental office environment designed to make offices more wild. With this demonstration we are exploring how designed wildness could empower people in more playful and active lifestyles.

Best Demo Honourable Mention

We fold paper with printed fiducial markers into pliable structures. Through computer vision, these structures can serve as functional tangible inputs for interface prototyping or interactive data physicalizations.

Best Demo Honourable Mention

The Sustainable Prototyping Life Cycle for Digital Fabrication supports designers' decision-making in every phase of prototyping with digital fabrication. Designers become manufacturers of their prototyping material to achieve sustainable making.

Best Demo Honourable Mention

LUEUR, interactive installation to explore the design space of tangible interaction with the light. Go beyond the theory of nature and perceive a reinterpretation of light.

Creation of a sticky note application where users participate by creating, placing, and picking up notes with their smartphone, replicating the traditional pen-and-paper process digitally.

FabriClick pushbuttons tightly integrated the functional elements into soft fabrics. These textile pushbuttons are made of a frame system, which unifies the workflow of digital embroidery and 3D printing.

We believe that this study can contribute to the discussion on open-ended play with HCI and the use of sound augmentation and wearable accessories to enrich playful experiences.

This demo helps fashion technology designers and developers to carefully consider four interconnected dimensions of wearability and demonstrates the importance of balancing sensing and actuation.

Econundrum is a shared physical system that visualizes dietary choice and climate impact. We contribute a design approach that illustrates how an eco-physicalization can elicit collective reflection on sustainability.

This project contributes to the DIS community with an experience prototype, a thought provoking study setup and a detailed discussion about anthropomorphic design strategies and robot abuse.

We contribute with an open-ended prototyping kit, “Menarche Bits”, which aims to open a design space for young adolescents to create body-worn technologies for experiences of menarche.

SemanticCollage demonstrates how we can create a fluid, intuitive tool that takes advantage of state-of-the-art semantic labeling algorithms to offer designers better support for ideation and sense making.

Together in Shape is a co-responsibility system to support bariatric lifestyle changes. This demonstration shows how to build it and use it

Silicone is a transformative design material but its time-intensive mold-cast-cure process limits designerly workflows. We demonstrate a design tool for producing custom 3D-printed molds and a 20-minute fabrication process using vinyl or PVA.

This project explores the ability of 360° video to support viewers in feeling compassion towards the situations in the films and understanding the context and complexity of sustainability solutions.

We found, through evaluating a prototype in-situ, that bespoke and curated media can encourage meaningful and rich shared experiences in residential dementia care.

This training simulation provides participants a chance to explore different input systems and control schemes while learning the basics of adaptive sailing, before trying the real-world experience.

Based on word-color associations from a comprehensive lexicon, we present Lexichrome: a web application that explores the popular perception of relationships between English words and eleven basic color terms using interactive visualization.

We developed an IoT communicator component with light and sound for enabling direct interactions between a human and IoT system consisted of multiple devices.

Help designers and users explore and navigate the trade-offs between multiple design goals in order to create more user-centered AI products and services.

The Desktop Odometer enables users to see how far information travels while surfing the web in real-time.

We present a novel prototype to explore themes of unpredictable autonomy in everyday smart products.

Dash Lane, an inclusive music-based exergame tailored toward wheelchair users. The game adapts to player abilities and preferences in playing style, while drawing from official exercise recommendations for people using wheelchairs.

Shadventures is a cooperative two-player game that explores calm game interaction by leveraging the shadows of one player's hands as game input.

Ivy is an office chair that uses data physicalization to represent sitting. With growing Ivy strands as a qualitative interface, we counter the digitalization and quantification trend in health interventions.

Reflections on the iterative design process of small batch productions of wearable electronic research artifacts for use in everyday contexts.

With WORM-E, an interactive soft toy for children, we explore haptic sensations and invite for enhanced bodily and social play experiences through pausing the smartphone usage.

Ruta is a manually operated table loom designed to help novice weavers make sense of the complexity of Jacquard weaving.
