![]() The first approach customizes the sensing design in a digital environment, where users define the geometry, shape and sensing inputs in a computer and print out customized functional patterns. Two types of manufacturing methods are used and characterized. This collection of work demonstrates design principles and examples in the following four areas: manufacturing, customizable computer aided design, fabrication with physical manipulation and multi-modal sensing techniques. This platform utilizes recent advancements in low-cost, roll-to-roll conductive inkjet printing technology as an enabler for creating a scalable, physically and functionally adaptive and customizable sensing system. This dissertation presents a research platform to investigate design principles and applications for flexible sensate surfaces. Often, we find ourselves confined by existing sensing infrastructures that are not designed to adapt the complexity of the physical world. To achieve the vision of ubiquitous computing, common man-made objects need to be designed from the ground up to incorporate computers and sensors. However, the world is highly variable in physical forms. New technologies based on this mission enable us to more easily sense, interact, and communicate with objects. We live in a world where everyday artifacts begin to be designed and augmented as media interfaces.
