Abstract
We present a discussion on designing an Augmented Reality (AR)-based prototyping approach to help makers continue building low-fidelity physical computing projects despite material constraints and demonstrate an example, Polymorphic Cube (PMC). Lack of immediate or easy access to electronics is a roadblock to building physical computing projects. We present AR-mediated prototyping as an approach where mobile AR can be used to simulate missing I/O components in-situ during electronics prototyping. Using our suggested approach makers can build a circuit with available real-world materials, substitute the missing components using any augmented physical proxy, and continue implementation tinkering and interaction with the hybrid circuit. Evaluation of PMC demonstrated that users can leverage computing to overcome the lack of electronic components and build low-fidelity prototypes to support design thinking. Our study revealed the benefits and limitations of our current prototype system and encourages future explorations into an AR-mediated prototyping approach to making.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
