Augmenting the surface of 3D objects with capacitive sensing is challenging when their volumes cannot be modified. In this paper, we present a generative computational fabrication pipeline that retrofits surface-only sensor layouts to 3D geometries for multi-touch interaction. Our method scans a real-world object to obtain its 3D mesh, generates and optimizes a 3D sensor design of drive and sense lines for mutual-capacitance sensing under physical and hardware constraints, and unfolds the design into individual 2D stencils that can be cut from conductive material. Our fabrication pipeline cuts these stencils from thin copper foil with a vinyl cutter and then assists manual sensor attachment by projecting the sensor design onto the dynamically registered real-world object. We connect the resulting electrode mesh to a mutual-capacitance scanning controller and resolve touch interaction in real time. We demonstrate our approach with four 3D geometries and evaluate our method and fabrication pipeline on them.
Affect-adaptive systems increasingly act as communicators that sense a user's emotion and respond with events meant to change it, closing an affective loop. This vision assumes both that a machine's affective messages are received and that the bodily channel it monitors carries a…
Generative AI is reshaping programming education, yet educators often infer students' AI-supported learning from classroom observations alone. This experience report presents a trio-ethnography involving two computing educators with different teaching philosophies and one undergr…
Cities are rarely flat, yet urban network analysis usually represents streets as planar graphs. This simplification affects modeled impedance, route choice, and the interpretation of accessibility, particularly where alternative paths differ in grade. This paper introduces Gridnb…
We present Loom, a spatial transcriptomics (ST) visual computing system to support the analysis of pseudo-temporal trajectories, comparative investigation across samples and regions of interest, and the examination of spatially structured processes within local microenvironments.…
Foreign language anxiety (FLA) can be a major barrier to second language acquisition (SLA), especially in conversational contexts. With the proliferation of large language models (LLMs) throughout all areas of life, recent work suggests that interacting with LLM agents can be ins…
Explainable AI (XAI) in creative practice can be less about technocentric explanation and more about enabling artists to inspect modify and debug models as part of making Yet largescale texttoimage diffusion systems are typically presented as opaque endtoend tools limiting this k…
