How do video content creation goals impact which concepts people prioritize for generating B-roll imagery? Open
B-roll is vital when producing high-quality videos, but finding the right images can be difficult and time-consuming. Moreover, what B-roll is most effective can depend on a video content creator's intent—is the goal to entertain, to infor…

ChunkyEdit: Text-first video interview editing via chunking Open
The early stages of video editing present many cognitively demanding tasks that require editors to remember and structure large amounts of video. In our formative work we learned that editors break down the editing process into smaller par…

Style2Fab: Functionality-Aware Segmentation for Fabricating Personalized 3D Models with Generative AI Open
With recent advances in Generative AI, it is becoming easier to automatically\nmanipulate 3D models. However, current methods tend to apply edits to models\nglobally, which risks compromising the intended functionality of the 3D model\nwhe…

Polagons: Designing and Fabricating Polarized Light Mosaics with User-Defined Color-Changing Behaviors Open
Polarized light mosaics (PLMs) are color-changing structures that alter their appearance based on the orientation of incident polarized light. While a few artists have developed techniques for crafting PLMs by hand, the underlying material…

InStitches: Augmenting Sewing Patterns with Personalized Material-Efficient Practice Open
There is a rapidly growing group of people learning to sew online. Without hands-on instruction, these learners are often left to discover the challenges and pitfalls of sewing through trial and error, which can be a frustrating and wastef…

Sketch-Based Design of Foundation Paper Pieceable Quilts Open
Foundation paper piecing is a widely used quilt-making technique in which fabric pieces are sewn onto a paper guide to facilitate construction. But, designing paper pieceable quilt patterns is challenging because the sewing process imposes…

KineCAM Open
The kinegram is a classic animation technique that involves sliding a striped overlay across an interlaced image to create the effect of frame-by-frame motion. While there are known tools for generating kinegrams from preexisting videos an…

A mathematical foundation for foundation paper pieceable quilts Open
Foundation paper piecing is a popular technique for constructing fabric patchwork quilts using printed paper patterns. But, the construction process imposes constraints on the geometry of the pattern and the order in which the fabric piece…

Generating Audio-Visual Slideshows from Text Articles Using Word Concreteness Open
We present a system that automatically transforms text articles into audio-visual slideshows by leveraging the notion of word concreteness, which measures how strongly a word or phrase is related to some perceptible concept. In a formative…

A Probabilistic View Of The Spatial Pooler In Hierarchical Temporal Memory Open
In the Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) paradigm the effect of overlap between inputs on the activation of columns in the spatial pooler is studied. Numerical results suggest that similar inputs are represented by similar sets of columns…
