While fabrication technologies have been in use in industry for several decades, expiring
patents have recently allowed the technology to spill over to technology-enthusiastic …

In this paper, we present a metamaterial structure called thermoformable cells, TF-Cells, to
enrich thermoforming for post-print modification. So far, thermoforming is limitedly applied for …

We present an approach to combining digital fabrication and craft, demonstrating a hybrid
interaction paradigm where human and machine work in synergy. The FreeD is a hand-held …

Natural and intuitive interfaces for CAD modeling such as hand gesture controls have
received a lot of attention recently. However, in spite of its high intuitiveness and familiarity …

In this paper we explore human-computer interaction for carving, building upon our previous
work with the FreeD digital sculpting device. We contribute a new tool design (FreeD V2) …

The advent of depth cameras has enabled mid-air interactions for shape modeling with bare
hands. Typically, these interactions employ a finite set of pre-defined hand gestures to allow …

The use of augmented reality (AR) in cultural heritage (CH) applications opens a whole set
of possibilities, including the virtual transformation of CH elements. This paper presents …

Handcrafting ceramic pottery in the traditional method or virtual reality (VR) with intricate
surface details is still challenging for the ceramic and graphic artist. Free-form pottery …

This article presents a pottery-making training system with a focus on teaching fundamental
knowledge and practical techniques in a virtual-reality environment. Gesture analysis makes …

Handcrafting has been used for purposes ranging from learning and entertainment to stress
relief. However, clay art and handicrafts require specialized space and physical materials. In …
