Madeline Gannon is a designer of interactive tools for digital fabrication at Madlab. The project I am highlighting is called Tactum, which is an augmented modeling tool that is used to design 3D printed wearables. This tool uses depth-sensing and projection mapping to sense different inputs and in turn, project touch gestures on the user’s skin. This is a very ingenious method of rapid prototyping that allows anybody to design a 3D printed wearable, and see real-time feedback throughout the process. It is very interesting to see the limitations of a program with a finite amount of possible creations (due to the given size and number of bands). I would really like to explore this tool and discover new methods of interaction and how they would produce different outcomes.
