水下数字产品原型的制作是人机交互领域探索水环境和交互的必要工具。然而,制作适用在水环境的产品原型的方法较少。现有的原型方法缺乏系统的防水处理,提供的平衡和浮力分析功能也不足。为了解决这些局限性,本文提出了ElectroPaper,是一种用于设计和制作水下数字原型的新方法。它是一种基于纸材料的层级结构,包含折痕层、硬件分布层和镂空层,具有防水和可折叠物理特性。该方法还包括一个用于协助平衡分析、三维模型展开和电路图绘制的软件设计工具。本文描述了设计和制造过程,并提供了几个示例应用,以说明该方法的可行性和实用性。ElectroPaper是一种低成本、有效的制作用于水环境的数字产品原型。

The fabrication of underwater devices is necessary for the exploration of water environments and interactions in the Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) field. However, there are fewer approaches to support prototyping used in water environments. The existing prototype methods lack systematic waterproof treatments and provide insufficient software for balance and buoyancy analysis. To address these limitations, we present ElectroPaper, a new approach for the design and fabrication of prototypes used in water environments (surface or beneath) with paper-based electronic interfaces with a crease layer, hardware distribution layer, and hollow-out layer to support physical properties, such as waterproofing, foldability, and conformability. The approach includes a computational design tool for assisting in balance analysis, three-dimensional (3D) model unfolding, and circuit drawing. We describe the design and fabrication process and provide several example applications to illustrate the feasibility and utility of our approach. ElectroPaper provides an inexpensive and effective medium for the fabrication of customized digital prototypes for water environment use.
