This paper investigates methods of fabricating organic displays based on hybrid material composition. Our primary research focuses on controlling heat activated inks (thermochromic) combined with invisible, embedded electronics. We demonstrate our process through SymbiosisO, a collection of textile interfaces. This wired fabric material behaves as an organic display with a discernable matrix of sub-components, each reacting to definable impulses. The activation of thermochromic inks requires higher power than typical prototyping boards can provide. To address this we are developing a specialized controller platform that supports the necessary power handling, furthermore, by simplifying and reducing the system form factor we demonstrate that such systems can be integrated more easily and within a wider range of static and mobile applications. Our controller continues to be developed toward an end user accessible platform under the name Heatit°C.

Proprioception --the human ability to sense the orientation of limbs without vision or hearing-- is one of the main drivers of motor operations and plays a significant role in input modalities such as touch and gestures. As an output modality proprioception has remained largely unexplored --though it can convey information to a user using their own body. Spatial interaction requires users to visually acquire the location of an object, which can then be manipulated using a touch or gesture. This is challenging if you are unable to see or in mobile contexts where the use of a display may be undesirable. This paper evaluates a tactile-proprioceptive display for eye and ear free 2D target acquisition and spatial interaction.

Designing with digital materials is sometimes challenging due to material properties that are for all practical purposes invisible. Here we present our work on exploring one such material, radio, and how we have worked with making radio a more tangible and accessible design material for multidisciplinary design teams to work with. Starting from an account of a previous project of ours, the LEGA project, we describe a design situation involving radio that exemplifies some of the challenges that working with radio can involve. We thereafter describe how we have used the Inspirational Bits approach to further investigate the peculiarities of radio as an immaterial design material and what possibilities it holds for interactive systems design.

This paper describes a case study of Shadowgram as an application of interactive fabrication in public spaces to realize a creative communication environment based on an interactive installation, which generates sticker cutouts of the silhouettes of participants. In this paper, we propose an approach called Social Fabrication that stimulates communication in society. Finally, we assess the potential of our creative catalyst by installing Shadowgram in public events and through observation and analysis we examine the behavior of participants.

XS Labs, founded in 2002, is a design research studio that develops innovative work in the area of electronic textiles and reactive garments. Our work is informed by the technologies and techniques of craft-based practices -- weaving, stitching, embroidery, knitting, beading, or quilting -- and by the exciting possibilities afforded by modern materials with various electro-mechanical properties. This involves the development of enabling technologies, methods, and materials in the form of soft electronic circuits and composite fibers. At the same time, our projects often critique the traditional task-based and utilitarian definitions of functionality in HCI. "We consider the soft, playful, and magical aspects of these materials, so as to better adapt to the contours of the human body and the complexities of human needs and desires. Our approach often engages subtle elements of the absurd, the perverse, and the transgressive. We construct narratives that involve dark humor and romanticism as a way to drive design innovation. These integrative approaches allow us to construct composite textiles with complex functionality and sophisticated behaviors." [2] Our research agenda was originally motivated by a concern with the lack of softness in HCI applications and the desire to explore and exploit a wider range of material properties in the development of physical interfaces. We wanted to develop physical interfaces that could conform to the human body and explore the boundaries of "beyond the wrist" interaction. This is predicated on a deeper understanding of the materiality and the physicality of our computing technologies. "We are particularly concerned with the exploration of interactive forms that emphasize the natural expressive qualities of transitive materials. We focus on the aesthetics of interaction, which compels us to interrogate and to re-contextualize the materials themselves. The interaction narratives function as entry points to question some of the fundamental assumptions we make about the technologies and the materials that drive our designs." [2] Accelerating progress in all branches of science research has been redefining our fundamental design materials. [1] Materials such as conductive fibers, reactive inks, photoelectrics, and shape-memory alloys are already shaping new physical forms and new experiences that are redefining our relationship with materiality and with technology [4]. Our design philosophy at XS Labs focuses on the exploration and development of these transitive materials and technologies as a fundamental component of our design research practice. In the last three years, we have been working with Prof. Maksim Skorobogatyi to develop a new generation of composite fibers that are able to harness power directly from the human body, store that energy, or use changes in energy to change their own visual properties.

This paper introduces Blob Manipulation, the interaction technique with fluidic soft matter. Most of the soft matters are substances between liquid and solid and possess viscoelasticity. We focus on this materiality and propose a novel interaction technique. A stirring rod is used as the input tool. When the system detects a user input such as touching, rubbing or tapping, the corresponding transformation will be executed. Six basic operations were designed to transform fluidic soft matter geometrically and topologically. Rheological user interface associated with metamorphose is expected to pioneer new possibilities for design, education and entertainment.

Modular toolkits and electronic textiles have emerged as highly effective resources to engage new audiences in computational learning. This paper will briefly review past relevant research in these domains, paying close attention to different taxonomies that consider the role of personal fabrication. Based on this analysis and user research, I will then introduce an interface prototype that is pedagogically concerned with user scalability and multiple points of entry. A specific focus is placed on the role materials play in achieving these pedagogical goals. I will close with plans for future iterations of the circuit mat and possible directions for development.

We discuss a field of research concerned with the discovery and realisation of folded patterns with kinetic properties, and the design of organic experience metaphors. Since the coining of the term Oribotics in 2003, a literal conjunction of the Japanese word ORU--to fold-- and bot--a contraction of robot--this practice-based-research has delivered six successive artworks that iteratively deal with the subject of a flower that folds closed, unfolds to open. This paper will discuss the primary aesthetic function of folding and unfolding, the importance of materials, and the process of critically addressing and refining the tangible interaction over successive years and generations of Oribots. We will conclude with the advances made in the 2010 generation.
