Core Concepts
Enhancing personal fabrication through in-situ interaction with parametric designs using extended reality.
Abstract
The content discusses the implementation of pARam, a tool that combines parametric designs and extended reality to enable users to customize artifacts for personal fabrication. It focuses on in-situ configuration and previewing of designs, supporting customization through practical inputs like gestures and recommendations without complex 3D-modeling skills. The tool aims to bridge the gap between design environments and real-world contexts, providing users with fitting results based on their customization without starting from scratch or being limited to finished designs.
Stats
Users succeeded in choosing context-related parameters.
Implemented for HoloLens 2.
Supports a total of 15 parametric designs.
A user study compared pARam with a desktop-bound alternative (𝑛 = 20).
