Digifold

 

Role: Product Designer / Programmer


Project Description

Digifold is a book of alternative game controllers that merges the digital and physical worlds of games through interactive origami designs. The book consists of 26 pages and features 5 foldable controller designs printed with conductive ink, enabling users to play digital games using handcrafted paper interfaces. Developed with Arduino, Processing, and BareConductive sensors, Digifold reimagines play by transforming physical craft into an interactive, programmable experience.




Involvement

  • Conduced research into Human-Computer Interaction and Tangible User Interfaces, reimagining traditional handheld controller experiences and video games interactions.

  • Iteratevely designed and developed prototypes based on user-centered research and testing.

  • Programmed gameplay interaction using BareConductive microcontroller, Arduino IDE and Processing, modifying open-source games to respond to ink sensor input instead of traditional keyboard controls.
