Title: Design and Fabrication for Tangible Interaction with Real-World Objects and Environments

Abstract: The convergence of the physical and digital realms presents exciting challenges and opportunities in how we interact with the world around us. Digital fabrication offers a compelling approach to explore this interplay, enabling the design and creation of customized augmentations of  objects and environments. This talk will delve into specific research that investigates two key aspects of this domain: novel methods for designing and fabricating directly onto the real-world, and ways of sensing inputs with passive, tangible interfaces that enable digital interactions. Drawing on principles from human-computer interaction and robotics, this presentation will highlight novel approaches to adapting and interacting with our physical environment.
