Documented: Embedding and Retrieving Meta Information from 3D Printed Objects
omid ettehadi
Project Description
A web-based application designed to create a new form of interaction with the documentation of interactive physical objects. This prototype creates a pipeline, which begins from the creation of the documentation and finishes with the document being ready to be viewed and shared through a 3D model of the object. The application consists of three sections, (1) Encoding: users have access to four tags; they can connect text and up to four files (picture, audio, video, or design files) to each of the tags. (2) Processing: users are to position the four tags onto the 3D model of the object they are documenting. The model can then be printed with the embedded tags. (3) Retrieval of data: users can scan the tags on the objects, and upon detection of the tags, all the information associated with those tags will be displayed on the screen for the users to navigate through.
BIO
Omid Ettehadi is a maker, designer, and researcher, with a background in electrical engineering. Omid is passionate about creative problem solving; in his spare time, he enjoys breaking things apart and attempting to repairing them. Omid is fascinated by the new arising technologies, specifically with how these tools can bring back control to the users and enhance their learning capabilities from their day to day activities. Omid's current research interest is on using these technologies to develop more advanced documentations to improve end-users' self-reflection on their making activities.
