ChromicCanvas: Interactive Canvas Using Chromic Fiber.

This study aims to realize a simple and flexible method of expression by combining chromic materials and digital fabrication tools. Focusing on UV embroidery thread among chromic materials, we propose “ChromicCanvas,” an interactive drawing system that allows users to draw with various colors and drawing patterns. The prototype consists of canvases created with embroidery thread and pen and stamp-type devices for switching the shape and color tone to be drawn. This paper describes the preliminary verification of UV embroidery threads, the prototype device developed, and evaluation experiments.
