AirPolygon: Transparent, Film-based and Flexible 3D Display with Air-control
This demo proposes AirPolygon, a soft, bendable, and transparent pneumatic control film. AirPolygon distinguishes itself with its ease of fabrication, high transparency for direct LCD attachment, and lightweight, deflatable design for portability. We designed the system to prevent air leakage while capitalizing on each layer’s material properties. Demonstrated applications include a 3D haptic LCD monitor film, a lightweight game controller, a tactile video conferencing system, a tactile pulse meter, and a transparent switch for glass surfaces, illustrating AirPolygon’s broad utility.
4D Embroidery: Implementing Parametric Structures in Textiles for Sculptural Embroidery
4D Embroidery, a method to create sculptural 3D structures from a flat sheet of fabric by parameterizing an open-lace embroidery framework. By adding a fourth dimension to a mesh-like texture in textiles, lace has the potential to exhibit a wide range of transformation behavior for actuation. However, digital embroidery is not widely adopted as a technique central to fabricating 4D structures. This study presents a design exploration of the methodologies for implementing parametric structures in self-assembling textiles. We propose a digital fabrication process via embroidering active and passive material, accompanied by a computational design tool to achieve a target shape-change. We reflect on the design process and present future directions for research.
