What if everyday surfaces could dynamically 'bloom' to display information? 🌸
BloomBeacon is a Persistence-of-Vision display that lets you touch the display image directly — embedded right into your environment. #CHI2026 paper from @AxLab_UChicago, led by @willayangy [1/5]

Thrilled to receive the People’s Choice Honorable Mention for TorqueCapsules demo! We’ve exhibited it at museums, science festivals, art exhibits—and people loved it! So proud of the love and excitement we’ve gotten, and grateful the UIST community values it too! #UIST2024

In our previous exhibits, adults and seniors were amazed when TorqueCapsule screwed open a jar and realized how helpful it could be, and kids were in awe of how TorqueCapsule magically brings toys to life!

🚨 #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.
