What do a lamp that increases or reduces its brightness have in common when someone tightens it, a glove that transmits to a robotic hand how it should grasp an object or a device capable of recognizing what has been placed on its surface? All these applications incorporate sensors directly into its structure, without needing to add them after making them.

X-Hinges software from MIT CSAIL enables 3D printing of everyday objects with natively integrated motion sensors, creating smart interactive devices without the need to add complex external electronic components.
