We present RealitySketch, an augmented reality interface for sketching interactive graphics
and visualizations. In recent years, an increasing number of AR sketching tools enable users …

Makerspace environments are becoming popular project-based learning spaces where
students interact with physical objects and peer collaboration, while developing 21st century …

Over recent years, there has been significant research within HCI towards free-form physical
interactive devices. However, such devices are not straightforward to design, produce and …

Makerspaces persist as formal and informal spaces of learning for youth, promoting
continued interest in studying how design can support the variety of learning opportunities …

In many engineering disciplines such as circuit board, chip, and mechanical design, a
hardware description language (HDL) approach provides important benefits over direct …

We propose blending the virtual and physical worlds for prototyping circuits using physical
proxies. With physical proxies, real-world components (eg a motor, or light sensor) can be …

Assembling circuits on breadboards using reference designs is a common activity among
makers. While tools like Fritzing offer a simplified visualization of how components and wires …

Debugging printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be a time-consuming process, requiring
frequent context switching between PCB design files (schematic and layout) and the …

Mainstream board-level circuit design tools work at the lowest level of design---schematics
and individual components. While novel tools experiment with higher levels of design …

The introduction of maker technology and personal fabrication has radically changed how
we learn, design and innovate. In recent years, a growing number of people have begun to …
