DissolvPCB: Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Electronics with Liquid Metal Conductors and PVA Substrates
Zeyu Yan, SuHwan Hong, Josiah Hester +2
We introduce DissolvPCB, an electronic prototyping technique for fabricating fully recyclable printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) using affordable FDM 3D printing, with polyvi…
Cybernetic Marionette: Channeling Collective Agency Through a Wearable Robot in a Live Dancer-Robot Duet
Anup Sathya, Jiasheng Li, Zeyu Yan +4
We describe DANCE^2, an interactive dance performance in which audience members channel their collective agency into a dancer-robot duet by voting on the behavior of a wearable rob…
PCB Renewal: Iterative Reuse of PCB Substrates for Sustainable Electronic Making
Zeyu Yan, Advait Vartak, Jiasheng Li +2
PCB (printed circuit board) substrates are often single-use, leading to material waste in electronics making. We introduce PCB Renewal, a novel technique that "erases" and "reconfi…
Make Making Sustainable: Exploring Sustainability Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities in Making Activities
Zeyu Yan, Mrunal Dhaygude, Huaishu Peng
The recent democratization of personal fabrication has significantly advanced the maker movement and reshaped applied research in HCI and beyond. However, this growth has also rais…
Comparing Vibrotactile and Skin-Stretch Haptic Feedback for Conveying Spatial Information of Virtual Objects to Blind VR Users
Jiasheng Li, Zining Zhang, Zeyu Yan +2
Perceiving spatial information of a virtual object (e.g, direction, distance) is critical yet challenging for blind users seeking an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience. To f…
The Design of On-Body Robots for Older Adults
Victor Nikhil Antony, Clara Jeon, Jiasheng Li +4
Wearable technology has significantly improved the quality of life for older adults, and the emergence of on-body, movable robots presents new opportunities to further enhance well…
