Building Rich 3D Interfaces with Computationally Enhanced Construction Kits
    abstract:
    We describe the Build – Bind – Play framework for computationally embedded physical modeling kits to support building rich physical interfaces for a wide variety of applications. We introduce an example project called Flexy that supports dynamic geometry construction and feedback with a hub and strut physical model. We describe several generations of the project and a reference application where we use the Flexy construction kit to interact with a computational model of a molecule.
