This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $215,000 supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles from September 2022 to August 2025 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070).

The award funds collaborative research to advance 3D printing capabilities for creating interactive devices with enhanced visual feedback through passive light-transfer properties. Researchers will characterize light-transfer materials and microstructures to understand their sensing, communication and display functions. Participatory design with domain experts will identify opportunities for design support tools enabling new interactions. Toolkits will be developed to facilitate end-user visual literacy in 3D object design and convey information through new devices. Technical evaluations and user studies will validate the approach. The research aims to empower end-users to programmably design and reprogram battery-less smart objects conveying digital information through 3D printing.
