Remote Learners, Home Makers: How Digital Fabrication Was Taught Online During a Pandemic
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that learning with hobbyist equipment and online social networks could emulate using industrial equipment in shared workshops, and that at-home digital fabrication offered unique learning opportunities including more iteration, machine tuning, and maintenance.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Codeable objects: computational design and digital fabrication for novice programmers
Jennifer Jacobs,Leah Buechley +1 more
TL;DR: The development of Codeable Objects is described, a preliminary computational-design programing tool developed to work in conjunction with digital-fabrication machines, and a set of user studies in which people built computationally generated crafts, clothing, and accessories are presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Hybrid Practice in the Kalahari: Design Collaboration through Digital Tools and Hunter-Gatherer Craft
Jennifer Jacobs,Amit Zoran +1 more
TL;DR: To evaluate this approach, a hunter-gatherer community that preserves an ancient craft is visited, bringing with it digital design and fabrication tools and the value of incorporating design and making into communal life is drawn.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Supporting Expressive Procedural Art Creation through Direct Manipulation
TL;DR: Para, a digital illustration tool that supports the creation of declarative constraints in vector artwork, is developed to hypothesize that, through the right direct manipulation interface, it can enable accessible and expressive procedural art creation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Extending Manual Drawing Practices with Artist-Centric Programming Tools
TL;DR: Dynamic Brushes as mentioned in this paper is a programming and drawing environment motivated by interviews with artists that enables the creation of ad-hoc drawing tools that transform stylus inputs to procedural patterns.
