Computationally-Enhanced Books: Blending Sensor-Based Interaction with Traditional Craft
نویسندگان
چکیده
Books are an important part of early childhood. Pop-up and movable books add a touch of magic to the experience. Believing that the magic comes from the process of the craftsperson, we describe two computationally-enhanced books that blend traditional and digital craft to add the magic of sensor-based interaction to the experience. The first book explores the process of making handmade paper and takes advantage of embedded bend sensors and the flex of the page as an interface. The second book explores the use of pop-up elements as an interface to a set of video segments that help tell a story.

Geometry-Specific Languages and Their Interfaces
Traditionally, programming languages have been designed with an eye toward implementation on general-purpose computers. The advent of computationally-enhanced craft items–small programmable objects with simple geometries and scaled-down computational components–suggests the need for new language and software environment models tailored for these objects. In some respects, the task of the craft-...
متن کاملTiO2 based surface acoustic wave gas sensor with modified electrode dimensions for enhanced H2 sensing application
The design and optimization of nanostructure-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor is analyzed based on TiO2 sensing layer and modified electrode dimensions. The sensitivity of the gas sensor depends upon the type of sensing layer used and active surface area obtained by varying the aspect ratio. The performance of the sensor is observed from 0.1ppm to 100ppm concentration of ...
متن کاملHybrid Key pre-distribution scheme for wireless sensor network based on combinatorial design
Key distribution is an important problem in wireless sensor networks where sensor nodesare randomly scattered in adversarial environments.Due to the random deployment of sensors, a list of keys must be pre-distributed to each sensor node before deployment. To establish a secure communication, two nodes must share common key from their key-rings. Otherwise, they can find a key- path in which ens...
متن کاملFlexible Image Blending for Image Mosaicing with Reduced Artifacts
Image mosaicing involves geometric alignment among video frames and image compositing or blending. For dynamic mosaicing, image mosaics are constructed dynamically along with incoming video frames. Consequently, dynamic mosaicing demands efficient operations for both alignment and blending in order to achieve real-time performance. In this paper, we focus on efficient image blending methods tha...
