contents We reviewed 43 papers to understand the fabrication of dynamic paper-based interactions. We used a design space to classify tool selection, technique choice, and exploration of paper as a material. We classified 9 dimensions for the design space, including 4 dimensions for tools (precision, accommodation, complexity, and availability), 3 dimensions for techniques (cutting techniques, folding techniques, and integration techniques), and 2 dimensions for paper as the material (paper weight and paper type). The patterns we observed in the design space indicate a majority use of high precision tools, high complexity tools, and surface integration techniques in previous practice. Meanwhile, printing and plain paper are the leading material choices. We analyze these patterns and suggest potential directions for future work. Our study helps researchers locate different fabrication approaches and instances, thus fostering innovation in the field of paper-based interaction.
