This three-year, $399,750 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will support the development of programmable visual capabilities for 3D printed objects through light-transfer techniques. The grant recipient, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (doing business as Tees), will conduct material experiments to characterize light-transfer properties for sensing, communicating and displaying digital information without batteries. Researchers will work with domain experts and students to design prototypes utilizing these properties. Toolkits will be created to facilitate non-expert design of interactive devices conveying embedded information through visual literacy principles. The work aims to advance 3D printing capabilities for everyday smart objects while fostering consideration of visual design. Rigorous evaluation and user studies will validate the techniques and tools in serving this goal.
