3D printing of flexible electronic devices by Yang, Hui, Leow, Wan Ru, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Compared to traditional, simple, planar or tubular flexible devices fabricated by spin-coating, casting, or extrusion, 3D-printed flexible electronic devices possess complicated geometries with precisely prescribed microarchitectures and excellent mechanical properties for satisfying all kinds of individual requirements. However, the full utilization of 3D-printing technology to realize 3D-printed flexible electronic devices remains limited by the flexibility and conductivity of 3D-printing materials. …”

Touch interaction based on 3D air traffic visualization system by Zhong, Xin

“…With the number of people travelled by plane increase rapidly these decades, the working load of the air traffic controllers (ATCOs) becomes heavier, and it is highly expected that the ATCOs have been familiar with the current Air Traffic Control System(ATCS) and deal with different kinds of control issues efficiently. The radar display widely used now is the 2-Dimensional (2D) planar display, which is stable but there still exists vision restriction. …”
