LeviFab: stabilization and manipulation of digitally fabricated objects for superconductive levitation

Published:30 July 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

Aerial manipulation of material objects is fascinating and is used in many performance situations. Many scientific demonstrations and magic shows employ these levitations. Acoustic, magnetic, electric, and superconductive levitation are used in many situations. Adding controllability and increasing the design space of these levitation methods are often studied for use in entertainment applications in graphics and HCI communities. In this study, we focus on superconductive levitation (Figure 1) because it has not been well explored for entertainment applications.
