Hearing from Dr Aluna Everitt today about this project and ideation tool, showing one user interacting with a shape shifting object, a device enabling members of the public to create stop motion animation #democratising #technologies #HCI #Design #Engineering

Interactive talk today with Aluna Everitt who has brought along 3D printed objects that surprisingly take on some of the characteristics of textiles, demonstrating the potential of this technology for dynamic shape morphology

Fascinating to gain insight into the hidden and complex design and engineering processes behind emerging technologies and to hear about Dr Aluna Everitt's projects she has worked on using this technology to explore shape shifting displays #HCI #Design #Engineering

We're delighted to welcome Dr Aluna Everitt from the University of Canterbury, hosted by @fraukezeller.bsky.social to discuss her research focusing on #democratising the development of emerging #technologies Excited to hear about her work establishing accessible approaches for design!
