AssemblyLens: Exploring the Role of Structural Roadmaps and Strategies of Furniture Assembly Used by Blind and Low Vision Individuals
Bo Liu, Gene S-H Kim, Franklin Mingzhe Li +2
Instructions to assemble flat-packed furniture rely on visuals, making them inaccessible to Blind and Low Vision (BLV) individuals. Consequently, BLV individuals depend on caregive…
StitchOver: Technical Embroidery on Seamed Fabrics
Zekun Chang, Tianhong Catherine Yu, Yixuan Gao +1
Smart textiles embed interactivity into everyday garments, supporting use cases like always-available sensing for medical applications or sports. Machine embroidery allows integrat…
Building Drift: Documenting On-Site Construction Adaptations Across Material Lifecycles
Ritik Batra, Martin Tamke, Tom Svilans +6
In a circular economy for construction, reclaimed materials carry prior lives of use and go on to have post-lives in future buildings. Yet working with such materials introduces un…
Me, Myself, and My Voice: Exploring Cultural and Linguistic Identity in AAC AI-generated Voices
Tobias Weinberg, Aaleyah Lewis, Ricardo E. Gonzalez Penuela +3
Voice is a central element of identity. We recognize people by their voice, and we uniquely express who we are with it. For people who rely on augmentative and alternative communic…
Convivial Fabrication: Towards Relational Computational Tools For and From Craft Practices
Ritik Batra, Roy Zunder, Amy Cheatle +4
Computational tools for fabrication often treat materials as passive rather than active participants in design, abstracting away relationships between craftspeople and materials. F…
PrivyWave: Privacy-Aware Wireless Sensing of Heartbeat
Yixuan Gao, Tanvir Ahmed, Zekun Chang +2
Wireless sensing technologies can now detect heartbeats using radio frequency and acoustic signals, raising significant privacy concerns. Existing privacy solutions either protect…
I, Robot? Exploring Ultra-Personalized AI-Powered AAC; an Autoethnographic Account
Tobias M. Weinberg, Ricardo E. Gonzalez Penuela, Stephanie Valencia +1
Generic AI auto-complete for message composition often fails to capture the nuance of personal identity, requiring editing. While harmless in low-stakes settings, for users of Augm…
One Does Not Simply 'Mm-hmm': Exploring Backchanneling in the AAC Micro-Culture
Tobias Weinberg, Claire O'Connor, Ricardo E. Gonzalez Penuela +2
Backchanneling (e.g., "uh-huh", "hmm", a simple nod) encompasses a big part of everyday communication; it is how we negotiate the turn to speak, it signals our engagement, and shap…
(De)composing Craft: An Elementary Grammar for Sharing Expertise in Craft Workflows
Ritik Batra, Lydia Kim, Ilan Mandel +4
Craft practices rely on evolving archives of skill and knowledge developed through generations of craftspeople experimenting with designs, materials, and techniques. Better documen…
THE WASTIVE: An Interactive Ebb and Flow of Digital Fabrication Waste
Yifan Shan, Bo Liu, Sebastian Bidegain +1
What if digital fabrication waste could observe the world? What would they see? What would they say? "THE WASTIVE" reimagines digital fabrication waste as sentient observers, givin…
Rapidly Built Medical Crash Cart! Lessons Learned and Impacts on High-Stakes Team Collaboration in the Emergency Room
Angelique Taylor, Tauhid Tanjim, Michael Joseph Sack +7
Designing robots to support high-stakes teamwork in emergency settings presents unique challenges, including seamless integration into fast-paced environments, facilitating effecti…
OriStitch: A Machine Embroidery Workflow to Turn Existing Fabrics into Self-Folding 3D Textiles
Zekun Chang, Yixuan Gao, Yuta Noma +11
OriStitch is a computational fabrication workflow to turn existing flat fabrics into self-folding 3D structures. Users turn fabrics into self-folding sheets by machine embroidering…
SplatOverflow: Asynchronous Hardware Troubleshooting
Amritansh Kwatra, Tobias Weinberg, Ilan Mandel +4
As tools for designing and manufacturing hardware become more accessible, smaller producers can develop and distribute novel hardware. However, processes for supporting end-user ha…
Y-AR: A Mixed Reality CAD Tool for 3D Wire Bending
Shuo Feng, Bo Liu, Yifan +7
Wire bending is a technique used in manufacturing to mass-produce items such as clips, mounts, and braces. Recent advances in programmable wire bending have made this process incre…
Comparing Fabrication Workflows in CAD to Support Design Reasoning
Shuo Feng, Xuening Wang, Yifan +7
When novices fabricate, they start by choosing a workflow (e.g., laser cutting, 3D printing, etc.) and corresponding software from a narrow set they know. As they advance their des…
Why So Serious? Exploring Timely Humorous Comments in AAC Through AI-Powered Interfaces
Tobias Weinberg, Kowe Kadoma, Ricardo E. Gonzalez Penuela +2
People with disabilities that affect their speech may use speech-generating devices (SGD), commonly referred to as Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technology. This…
