Digital fabrication pipeline for on-body sensors: design goals and challenges

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a digital fabrication pipeline for designing on-body sensors. We discuss the various steps in our envisioned pipeline and present the technical and research challenges that exist at each of the steps. The research and technical challenges span across various areas, including human computer interaction, computer graphics and computer vision. Our fabrication pipeline and the research challenges can inform the community about the various issues that one might encounter when realizing such a fabrication pipeline.
