Digital -is- Physical: How Functional Fabrication Disrupts Ubicomp Design Principles
2019
Proceedings of the Halfway to the Future Symposium 2019 on - HTTF 2019
Ubiquitous computing has long explored design through the conceptual separation of digital and physical materials. We describe how the emergence of the fabrication community in HCI will challenge these conceptual principles. The idea of digital material in ubicomp 'hides' lower level abstractions such as physical architectures and materials from designers. As new fabrication techniques make these abstractions accessible to makers, physical materials are being used to encode digital
