Floating Pixelsは、実体のあるピクセルが、集合・拡散することで情報を表示します。磁性を持つピクセルは、水面を浮遊して、磁力により集合して成形します。これまでの画面の中に留まっていたピクセルは、実体化することで、実世界に溶け込み、人と直接触れる対話を実現することができます。

Floating Pixels displays information through the gathering and diffusion of physical pixels. The magnetic pixels float on the surface of the water and are assembled and molded by magnetic force. By materializing, these pixels, which have so far remained within the screen, can integrate into the real world and realize a direct interaction with people.

Project Link is a smart wear development platform that allows users to freely design functions for their clothes by using software that makes it easy to create smart wear and various IoT nodes that blend in with fashion items. We will actually hold a workshop using conductive thread and a digital embroidery machine and explore various applications such as clothes that measure posture and detect body temperature and temperature based on the experience, which will lead to new interface designs.

Rapid and Shape-Changing Digital Fabrication Using Magnetic Thermoplastic Material

In this research, we propose a digital fabrication method that can print reusable objects rapidly using the clay material.

Therefore, we developed a magnetic force control device and a magnetic thermoplastic material that deforms dynamically. When the user creates a shape model on the screen, the clay material instantly changes to the shape of the designed model. The user can confirm the shape in a short time, and the material can be reused. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of magnetic materials and control devices, evaluation, and future work.
