Material Design Workshop

If you already know about Skin and are interested in gaining first hand experience, continue to Chapter 5, which explains how to build Skin with standard off-the-shelf components. If you want to assess the benefits of Skin to your company, skip to Chapter 7 to see how practitioners apply Skin to their work process and the results they are getting. The remaining chapters describe the research approach (2); a working model for materials in products (3); and an analysis of design representations in the early stages of design (4). The development process that led to the design of Skin is described in Chapter 6, which also covers the challenges of how to employ and extend Skin-like systems in other fields.
