Such primitives can be independent particles or particles that are physically connected via threads or pieces of cloth to form shapes in mid-air. However, initialization (i.e., placement of such primitives in their mid-air target locations) currently relies on either manual placement or specialized ad-hoc implementations, which limits their practical usage. We present ArticuLev, an integrated pipeline that deals with the identification, assembly and mid-air placement of levitated shape primitives. We designed ArticuLev with the physical properties of commonly used levitation primitives in mind. It enables experiences that seamlessly combine different primitives into meaningful structures (including fully articulated animated shapes) and supports various levitation display approaches (e.g., particles moving at high speed). In this paper, we describe our pipeline and demonstrate it with heterogeneous combinations of levitation primitives. date: 2021-05-01 date_type: published publisher: ACM official_url: https://doi.org/10.1145/3411764.3445342 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1852813 doi: 10.1145/3411764.3445342 lyricists_name: Martinez Plasencia, Diego lyricists_name: Subramanian, Sriram lyricists_id: DMART13 lyricists_id: SSUBR74 actors_name: Subramanian, Sriram actors_id: SSUBR74 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - Proceedings pagerange: 1-12 event_title: CHI event_location: Yokohama, Japan event_dates: 08 May 2021 - 13 May 2021 institution: CHI book_title: CHI '21: Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems citation: Fender, A; Martinez Plasencia, D; Subramanian, S; (2021) ArticuLev: An Integrated Self-Assembly Pipeline for Articulated Multi-Bead Levitation Primitives.
