“…This can be linked to the work of Tanenbaum [96], who outline idleness as a design element. Using faster (i.e., laser-cutters [38]) or less precise (i.e., 3D printing pens [95]) accommodates for slowness, but does not remove it entirely. For DungeonMaker, we noticed that there was either excited observation of machine action, or, alternatively, participants strategizing in parallel.…”

Hybrid board games (HBGs) augment their analog origins digitally (e.g., through apps) and are an increasingly popular pastime activity. Continuous world and character development and customization, known to facilitate engagement in video games, remain rare in HBGs. If present, they happen digitally or imaginarily, often leaving physical aspects generic. We developed DungeonMaker, a fabrication-augmented HBG bridging physical and digital game elements: 1) the setup narrates a story and projects a digital game board onto a laser cutter; 2) DungeonMaker assesses player-crafted artifacts; 3) DungeonMaker's modified laser head senses and moves player-and non-player figures, and 4) can physically damage figures. An evaluation (𝑛 = 4 × 3) indicated that DungeonMaker provides an engaging experience, may support players' connection to their figures, and potentially spark novices' interest in fabrication. DungeonMaker provides a rich constellation to play HBGs by blending aspects of craft and automation to couple the physical and digital elements of an HBG tightly.

“…The dragon NPC (cf. Fig.6c), for instance, was handcrafted using a 3D-printing pen, combining the design with the more precisely manufactured base[95]. Similarly, the generic design is meant to leave room for personalization.…”

“…It allows the user to leave a slightly convex drawing path on the planar sheet through the extrusion and adhesion of 3D wires at a low temperature. As the capability of drawing requires the coordination of cognition (Clements & Barrett, 1994; Farran & Dodd, 2015; Jolley et al, 2013), the slightly convex drawing path provides real-time tactile feedback and enhances creative expression (Takahashi & Kim, 2019), thus allowing individuals with visual impairments to convert tactile experience to pictures. The study presented here analyzed the advantages of individuals using 3D printing pen technology as a drawing tool to create tactile pictures as a reference for future design of tactile pictures.…”

3D Pen Tactile Pictures Generated by Individuals with Visual Impairments

Introduction: Individuals with visual impairments acquire information about objects through touch and by use of auxiliary tactile pictures. The current study introduced a new three-dimensional (3D) printing pen technology as a research tool to allow individuals with visual impairments to convert tactile experiences to convex tactile pictures. Methods: Participants with visual impairments used a 3D pen to draw pictures of daily necessities. The actions and time related to the entire drawing activity were recorded on video. Results: We noted three behaviors during the use of 3D pen: drawing, touching the trace lines, and finding location points. The object-depiction angle, component-completeness description, and drawing-line presentation differed between subjects with congenital and those with acquired blindness. Discussion: Individuals with congenital blindness depicted objects mainly from an operational angle, and those with acquired blindness from the angle of the object when laid flat. When the components of an object were relatively complex, the subjects with congenital blindness only drew local features in contact with their bodies and with continuous line segments, and those with acquired blindness used discontinuous line segments. Participants were satisfied that the 3D printing pen could touch the drawing path in time and that they could use the “piling” feature to create positioning marks or planar expressions. Implications for practitioners: Students can be instructed to use 3D pens to draw (lines, planes, and objects) to enhance the communication between teachers and students and improve teaching efficiency. Regarding the design of tactile pictures, the parts that come in contact with the body during object use can be considered the reference features of the pictures. For large pictures, attention should be paid to the size ratio between the outline and components. For small pictures, one should consider how the operational feature details should be shown at approximately the original size.
