随着交互式电子产品变得越来越亲密和个人化，电路的设计也相应地发展出更有趣和更具创造性的美学。电路草图和设计是一个多维的活动，它结合了艺术，手工艺和工程扩大参与电子创作，包括不同背景的制造商。为了支持这种设计生态，我们提出了Ellustrate，这是一种数字设计工具，可以使用多种导电和介电材料对电子电路进行功能和美学设计。Ellustrate指导用户完成制造和调试过程，简化实际电路创建任务，同时支持设计师在整个电路创作工作流程中的美学决策。在一个正式的用户研究中，我们展示了Ellustrate如何实现一个新的电子设计对话，结合电子，材料和视觉美学的关注。
As interactive electronics become increasingly intimate and personal, the design of circuitry is correspondingly developing a more playful and creative aesthetic. Circuit sketching and design is a multidimensional activity which combines the arts, crafts, and engineering broadening participation of electronic creation to include makers of diverse backgrounds. In order to support this design ecology, we present Ellustrate, a digital design tool that enables the functional and aesthetic design of electronic circuits with multiple conductive and dielectric materials. Ellustrate guides users through the fabrication and debugging process, easing the task of practical circuit creation while supporting designers' aesthetic decisions throughout the circuit authoring workflow. In a formal user study, we demonstrate how Ellustrate enables a new electronic design conversation that combines electronics, materials, and visual aesthetic concerns.
