ABSTRACT
We present an approach to support basic and complex cutting processes through an interactive fabrication experience [Willis et al. 2011]. Our system, enchanted scissors, is a digitally controlled pair of scissors (Figure 1). It restricts areas that can be cut while requiring the user's exertion of force and decision to execute each cut. Therefore, unlike a completely digitalized cutting device, the user can freely apply improvisations within the permitted areas in real-time. A pair of scissors is a common tool seen and used in everyday life; the user can instantly recognize its operation method. It has varieties of usage from opening a letter to creating a complicated paper craft. While using scissors, it is common to cut unintended parts or difficult to control the blades for cutting intricate details. enchanted scissors prevents these errors in advance by using two switchable programs to restrict the areas that can be cut. Both programs provide real-time feedback to the user during the cutting process as regular scissors would. This allows a comfortable connection of the user's physical input and the output implemented by the device.

Polytopes that fill źn and scissors congruenceand scissors congruence
Suppose thatP is a (not necessarily convex) polytope in n that can fill n with congruent copies of itself. Then, except for its volume, all its classical Dehn invariants for Euclidean scissors congruence must be zero. In particular, in dimensions up to ...
Cubic Graphs, Their Ehrhart Quasi-Polynomials, and a Scissors Congruence Phenomenon
AbstractThe scissors congruence conjecture for the unimodular group is an analogue of Hilbert’s third problem, for the equidecomposability of polytopes. Liu and Osserman studied the Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of polytopes naturally associated to graphs ...
