MIT team describes software for 3D-printed motion-sensing objects
An MIT research report describes X-Hinges software for designing 3D-printed objects with integrated motion sensing.
What the record says
The October 22 account says MIT and Tianjin University researchers used different materials for sensors and connecting traces to reduce signal interference. Demonstrations included a robot-training glove and an adjustable lamp. The software supports sensing across several directions of movement.
