Design and Fabrication for Tangible Interaction with Real-World Objects and Environments

Daniel Campos Zamora, University of Washington
12-1 pm EDT, Friday, May 9, 2025
UMBC ENG 231 (ACTIV lab)

The convergence of the physical and digital realms presents exciting challenges and opportunities in how we interact with the world around us. Digital fabrication offers a compelling approach to explore this interplay, enabling the design and creation of customized augmentations of objects and environments. This talk will delve into specific research that investigates two key aspects of this domain: novel methods for designing and fabricating directly onto the real-world, and ways of sensing inputs with passive, tangible interfaces that enable digital interactions. Drawing on principles from human-computer interaction and robotics, this presentation will highlight novel approaches to adapting and interacting with our physical environment.

Daniel Campos Zamora is a PhD student at the University of Washington, where he is a member of the Makeability Lab, advised by Jon E. Froehlich. Previously, he was at Disney Research working in robotics, HCI, and augmented reality; Carnegie Mellon University’s ArtFab; and ArtCenter College of Design, focusing on physical computing and digital fabrication.

UMBC’s DoIT and Faculty Development Center will hold a “study day” panel 12-1pm on Wednesday, May 14, to explore how generative AI systems can help students prepare for exams. Three UMBC faculty members will show and tell how and why they are exploring the use of GenAI tools in formative assessment of student learning.

Panelists and use cases include Sarah Bass (Chemistry), who will discuss the use of Google NotebookLM for Chem 101 tutorials and virtual assistance, Tim Finin (CSEE) on effective exploration of questions from old exams, and John Schumacher (ANTH/SOCY) use of AI to generate case studies and assess student analyses of them. Each panelist will have 5-10 minutes to briefly describe how AI could be or was used to efficiently and effectively assess student formative practice, related issues and opportunities, and the next steps.

Composer and sound artist Sam Pluta, visual artist Brea Souders, and video artist and writer Eryk Salvaggio each use and interact with AI in their artistic practice. They will introduce us to their work and reflect on their experiences, doubts, and breakthroughs, creating works using these technologies. This will be followed by a discussion moderated by UMBC Assistant Professor of Art Eric Millikin.

Although artificial intelligence emerged as an academic discipline in the mid-1950s, general use and public awareness of AI have materialized only in the past three years with the launch of generative AI chatbots and its role in the general applications that we use on a daily basis, through web search engines, virtual assistants, and recommendation systems. We are now at a critical juncture to consider the impacts of generative AI on creativity through ethical, cultural, and societal lenses.

A reception will follow. Get more information about this event and RSVP here.
