Research

My research is centered around digital fabrication and human-computer interaction — interfacing devices together and using maker skills to produce functional, innovative projects.

🔴
InfraredTags

2D markers and barcodes imperceptible to the naked eye that can be 3D printed as part of objects, and detected rapidly by low-cost near-infrared cameras.
