Research Projects

SynchronizAR

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 transformations between the separate SLAM coordinate systems.

Plain2Fun

We present Plain2Fun, a design and fabrication pipeline enabling users to quickly transform ordinary objects into interactive and functional ones. Plain2Fun allows users to directly design the circuit layouts onto the surfaces of the scanned 3D model of existing objects.

Scenarioit

We present Scenariot, a method that enables instant discovery and localization of the smart things with a mobile AR device.

iSoft

We present iSoft, a single volume soft sensor capable of sensing real-time continuous contact and unidirectional stretching.

Window-Shaping

We present, Window-Shaping, a tangible mixed-reality (MR) interaction metaphor for design ideation that allows for the direct creation of 3D shapes on and around physical objects.

TRing

We present TRing, a finger-worn input device which provides instant and customizable interactions.

TMotion

We present TMotion, a self-contained 3D input that enables spatial interactions around mobile device using a magnetic sensing technique.

Smart Textile

We introduce a textile input device for mobile interactions. The single layer smart textile is worn on the index finger to provide a multimodal sensing input metaphor.

Hexamorph

In this paper, we present HexaMorph, a novel starfish-like hexapod robot designed for modularity, foldability and reconfigurability.
