Making Biomaterials for Sustainable Tangible Interfaces
TEI '24: Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionFebruary 2024, Article No.: 55, Pages 1–5https://doi.org/10.1145/3623509.3634740In this studio, we will explore sustainable tangible interfaces by making a range of biomaterials that are bio-based and readily biodegradable. Building off of previous TEI studios that were centered around one specific biomaterial (i.e., bioplastics at ...

Loom Pedals: Retooling Jacquard Weaving for Improvisational Design Workflows
TEI '24: Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionFebruary 2024, Article No.: 10, Pages 1–16https://doi.org/10.1145/3623509.3633358We present the Loom Pedals, an open-source hardware/software interface for enhancing a weaver’s ability to create on-the-fly, improvised designs in Jacquard weaving. Learning from traditional handweaving and our own weaving experiences, we describe our ...

Making Design Tools Like a Weaver: Four Rules
XRDS: Crossroads, The ACM Magazine for Students (XRDS), Volume 29, Issue 4Summer 2023, Pages 54–58https://doi.org/10.1145/3596929What would happen if we designed CAD systems like a weaver designs cloth? Drawing from our ongoing collaborations with weavers, we suggest four rules to bring these qualities to your own practice: follow the materials, privilege the present and personal, ...

AdaCAD: Crafting Software For Smart Textiles Design
CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsMay 2019, Paper No.: 345, Pages 1–13https://doi.org/10.1145/3290605.3300575Woven smart textiles are useful in creating flexible electronics because they integrate circuitry into the structure of the fabric itself. However, there do not yet exist tools that support the specific needs of smart textiles weavers. This paper ...
