Building a toolkit for fabricating interactive objects

Published: 06 April 2016 Publication History

Abstract

Despite the recent proliferation of easy-to-use personal fabrication devices, designing custom objects that are useful remains challenging. RFID technology can allow designers to easily embed rich and robust interaction in custom creations at low cost.
