PhD Project Results
Soft Inductive Pressure Sensors
In this work, we explore how pressure sensors can be made from ferromagnetic particles and elastomers, like the silicone Ecoflex. We evaluated different ferromagnetic particles and implemented several functional prototypes that show the pros and cons of our approach.
Emotion-Aware In-Car Feedback
In this work, we explore personalized feedback mechanisms to help drivers regulate their emotions for improved road safety. Our study involved 21 participants experiencing three emotional states during driving in a simulated driving environment.
Capacitive Thin-Film User Interfaces on Stones
Integrating interactive interfaces into everyday items is crucial for connecting the digital and physical worlds. This work presents eStone, an approach were natural stone surfaces are used substrates for capacitive thin-film sensors acting as interactive interfaces.
Interaction with a 3D Surface for an Innovative Input Experience on a Central Console
In this work, we explore the development of an interactive 3D central console for vehicles aimed at simplifying access to tasks unrelated to driving, such as adjusting seats and controlling music.
Threads of Traceability: Textile IDs in the Fabric of Sustainable Fashion
Textile fabrication has evolved over millennia, transitioning from a focus on affordability and speed to a current emphasis on sustainability. With Textile ID, we envision a digital garment passport that seamlessly incorporates directly into textile surfaces as a design element to bridge the gap between sustainability and consumer engagement, transforming garments into interactive storytellers of their ecological journey.
