Thank you everyone for liking TorqueCapsules💊! We have a lot more fun stuff to share during the talk! If you want to learn more, come to Prototyping session on Wed 9am! #UIST2024
AxLab members 'assembled' to assemble the hardware!!!!!!
AxLab members 'assembled' to assemble the hardware!!!!!!
🚨 #UIST2024 Paper: TorqueCapsules 💊 We introduce a novel prototyping toolkit that can exert force, jump, or flip with encapsulated flywheel actuators. The device makes flywheel actuators easy/accessible to control and customize. @UChicago @AxLab_UChicago @willayangy 🧵→
🚨 #UIST2024 Paper: SHAPE-IT🪄 SHAPE-IT enables users to freely 'tell' the shape display to transform by only giving text instructions using LLMs. It offers an experience like that Sci-Fi Clay that can shape-shift whatever you say it to be✨🪄 @AxLab_UChicago @UChicago →🧵
