Abstract

—We present a novel design for connecting pieces of a computationally enhanced construction kit, an optocoupled ball and socket joint. Unlike other existing connectors, our joint is poseable and allows both the topology and dynamic configuration of a kit assembly to be sensed. We provide a survey of
