Eyecam
2021What if seeing devices looked like us? Eyecam is a prototype exploring the potential future design of sensing devices. Eyecam is a webcam shaped like a human eye that can see, blink, look around and observe us.
View project >Interaction designer and researcher, I develop creative hardware and software experiences that bring technology closer to human nature. I lead the Resilient Futures group at De Vinci Innovation Center, which is dedicated to make our technology and society more sustainable.
Previously postdoctoral researcher at Saarland University and PhD student at Télécom Paris and HCI La Sorbonne. Get my Resume.
Skin-On Interfaces
2019Skin-On Interfaces are devices that augment existing devices with Artifical realistic skin. Human skin is the best interface for interaction. I propose this new paradigm in which interactive devices have their own artificial skin, thus enabling new forms of input gestures for end-users.

MobiLimb
2018MobiLimb is a robotic finger that can be added to mobile devices. What if smartphones could touch us and reach our world? This project explores a future where anthropomorphic devices bring news input and output capabilities to existing devices.

Robot Skin & Touch
2019This project explores how humans perceive emotions from touch movements performed by a robot. Touching the forearm with different speed, velocity, and force can convey different emotions, which can be used in VR for mediated communication.

PolySense
2020PolySense is an open-source fabrication process for creating smart textiles. It uses a process called in-situ polymerization to add electrical functionality to everyday materials such as fabrics, or feathers, to transform them as sensors.
