Accurate sketching in virtual 3D environments is challenging due to aspects like limited
depth perception or the absence of physical support. To address this issue, we propose …

It is important for photographers to have the best possible lighting configuration at the time of
shooting; otherwise, they need post-processing on images, which may cause artifacts and …

Tactile feedback of an object's surface enables us to discern its material properties and
affordances. This understanding is used in digital fabrication processes by creating objects …

In this work, we present a novel approach for calibrating material model parameters for soft
body simulations using real data. We use a fully differentiable pipeline, combining a …

A central objective in computational design is that an optimal design is desired which
optimizes a performance metric. We explore a different problem class with a computational …

We present a computational approach to haptic design embedded in everyday tangible
interaction with digital fabrication. To generate haptic feedback, the use of permanent …

Designing interaction techniques for end-users often involves exploring vast design spaces
while balancing many objectives. Bayesian optimization offers a principled human-in-the …

This dissertation presents novel computational methods and investigations to enable human-
in-the-loop optimization (HILO) for a wider range of realistic applications, allowing designers …

Novel display devices and fabrication techniques enable highly tangible ways of creating,
experiencing, and interacting with digital content. The capabilities offered by these new …

The modern dry-erase whiteboard has become a tried-and-true educational tool
synonymous with teaching and brainstorming. The strengths of the dry-erase whiteboard are …
