The Design
About Venous Materials ماده تعاملی
مواد وریدی یک ماده تعاملی است که هم به‌عنوان حسگر و هم به‌عنوان نمایشگر عمل می‌کند. کانال‌های سیال نازکی درون سیلیکون نرم شکل می‌گیرند و جوهر رنگی از میان این کانال‌ها حرکت می‌کند. زمانی که کاربر ماده را خم می‌کند یا بر آن فشار وارد می‌کند، جریان جوهر تغییر کرده و الگوهای قابل‌مشاهده و تغییرات رنگی ایجاد می‌کند. این ماده نرم و خودبسنده است و حرکت کاربر انرژی موردنیاز را تأمین می‌کند. یک ابزار طراحی محاسباتی امکان شبیه‌سازی هندسه و جریان سیال را پیش از تولید فراهم می‌کند. فرایند تولید شامل حکاکی با لیزر و فرایندهای آزمایشگاهی است.

- Production Technology
- Through utilizing latest research with Microfluidics technology, Venous Materials was developed while focus on human interaction and UX design. To realize the design and production process, a specialized computational design and simulation tool was developed. This tool allows to simulate and visualize of the color change and display of the flow within the material, according to the user physical input. Production process involves laser engraving and lab processes. Materials used are PDMS silicone and ecoline ink.
- Design Challenge
- While current computer chips and electronics usually require rigid and bulky components that challenges the integration with varied objects or fabrics, Venous Materials is soft and self-contained mechanism that utilizes the motion of daily activities as its energy source. Design of micro-fluid dynamics is not intuitive task, our approach and computational tool allows the design, simulation, and prototyping of fluidic interactive sensors that can be embedded in, or attached to, any object.
- Research
- This work present design and fabrication methods for interactive fluidic mechanisms that respond to deformation by mechanical inputs from the user. The Venous design tool provides designers with a simple way to create and validate designs of fluidic structures. It allows users to design the geometry, and simulate the flow with intended mechanical force dynamically. This leads to Interactive applications of Venous Materials, to augment human movement and everyday objects.
- Inspiration
- This project is inspired by venous structures that are ubiquitous throughout nature and inside the human body. By changing colors, veins can inform us of internal and external physical conditions. For example, veins in leaves transmit pigments that drive color change, which informs us of the internal condition of the leaf and which season it is.
- Project Duration
- The project started June 2019 and finished April 2020 in Cambridge, MA, at the MIT Media Lab, Tangible Media group
- Operation Flow
- The displayed flow pattern and color change of the fluidic channels within Venous Materials inform the users of the motion and physical force that is applied on the material. The users can interact with Venous Materials by deforming or applying pressure on the material, which drives the fluid flow within the internal channels to visualize the dynamic responsive display. Therefore, Venous Materials simultaneously functions as a sensor and display of tangible information.
