“…As a formative exploration, we initially examined how parametric designs are presented to (end-)users through the lens of configurator tools. Configurator interfaces enable "mass-customization" [65,81] (i.e., highly personal designs at scale) and are interfaces to parametric designs. In this work, we focus on users' interactions with parametric designs, which are currently mediated through these configurator tools or so-called customizers.…”

“…Leveraging extended reality as a vehicle to customize designs for personal fabrication may change how we treat inputs to such a customizer or parametric design. We argue that in-situ interaction with parametric designs may permit the creators of customizer systems to embed and expose more domain knowledge [11,65] through the tools. This can happen through recommendations but also early evaluation, all within the users' unique physical contexts-knowledge often unavailable to authors od customizer tools.…”

Extended Reality (XR) allows in-situ previewing of designs to be manufactured through Personal Fabrication (PF). These in-situ interactions exhibit advantages for PF, like incorporating the environment into the design process. However, design-for-fabrication in XR often happens through either highly complex 3D-modeling or is reduced to rudimentary adaptations of crowd-sourced models. We present pARam, a tool combining parametric designs (PDs) and XR, enabling in-situ configuration of artifacts for PF. In contrast to modeling-or search-focused approaches, pARam supports customization through embodied and practical inputs (e.g., gestures, recommendations) and evaluation (e.g., lighting estimation) without demanding complex 3D-modeling skills. We implemented pARam for HoloLens 2 and evaluated it (𝑛 = 20), comparing XR and desktop conditions. Users succeeded in choosing context-related parameters and took their environment into account for their configuration using pARam. We reflect on the prospects and challenges of PDs in XR to streamline complex design methods for PF while retaining suitable expressivity.
