In contrast, the interactive stickers introduced in this thesis are maintenance-free, inexpensive, and easy-to-deploy. Focusing on power, form factor, and cost as system design parameters, I create stickers that have simple circuitry and can sustain themselves while wirelessly communicating and responding to various human interactions.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis work will introduce four projects with iteratively increasing capabilities.
