Printerface
Ty Van de Zande, Dan Lockton · 2017
Printerface proposes a visual design technique to create customized and interactive icons that may be applied to paper or textile substrates. The icons are screen printed electroluminescent (EL) and conductive inks. Research in the field of printed electronics traditionally uses either dot-matrix or multiple capacitive buttons for interaction. Current low-resolution interfaces limit customizability and user interaction. The Printerface demo suggest a new method which allows a designer visual freedom over low-resolution displays.
