Current pervasive computing research tries to merge the material and digi-tal worlds by
incorporating physical and computing entities into smart spaces. Homes, workplaces …

We propose to establish a secure communication channel among devices based on similar
audio patterns. Features from ambient audio are used to generate a shared cryptographic …

We present a new type of 3D printer that can form precise, but soft and deformable 3D
objects from layers of off-the-shelf fabric. Our printer employs an approach where a sheet of …

Within a smart home environment the information processing is supposed to be thoroughly
integrated into everyday objects. This introduces the need to keep track of the everyday …
