About
Rebecca Chierichetti is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, tangible user interfaces, and sensing technologies. Her work centers on creating interactive play surfaces and smart environments that leverage passive RFID sensor arrays to bridge the physical and digital worlds. In her most cited paper, “Tangible Play Surface Using Passive RFID Sensor Array” (2018, 4 citations), she introduced two innovative toy prototypes—Code Maker and Story Maker—that demonstrate how low-cost, passive RFID technology can be used to detect and respond to physical objects on a surface. Code Maker, integrated into a robotic fire truck, enables children to program sequences by placing tangible blocks, while Story Maker allows narrative construction through object placement. Chierichetti’s contributions are notable for making interactive sensing accessible and playful, with potential applications in education, assistive technology, and smart surfaces. Though her citation count is modest, her work represents an important early step in scalable, low-power tangible interaction systems, and her prototypes continue to inspire researchers exploring RFID-based user interfaces for learning and play.
