D r a we r , o p e n. Figure 1. Robiot enables end-users to take a video and automatically generates mechanisms that can actuate everyday objects to perform simple physical tasks. All the four examples were designed by participants in our design session: lowering a lamp while busy soldering (a), waving a hand up to open a trashcan afar (c), setting up a scheduled house plant water spraying system (e), and asking the drawer to open itself when having no extra hand (g).

Young children with visual impairments greatly benefit from tactile graphics (illustrations, images, puzzles, objects) during their learning processes. In this paper we present insight about using a 3D printed tactile picture book as a design probe. This has allowed us to identify and engage stakeholders in our research on improving the technical and human processes required for creating 3D printed tactile pictures, and cultivate a community of practice around these processes. We also contribute insight about how our in-person and digital methods of interacting with teachers, parents, and other professionals dedicated to supporting children with visual impairments contributes to research practices.
