It soon became clear that the stiff wires we used didn’t go well with the soft felt. It’s hard to wear the sensor around the […]

Meeting 22/07/08 @ Anja’s studio
Meeting at Anja’s studio from 15.30 – 20.15 Present: Anja, Barbara, Danielle. We met up to discuss the design of the sensor on which Barbara had been working. She’d made a few prototypes with black felt which are very promising. They should be worn around the tip of the finger and can incorporate the parts […]

I’ve done a little research into heating elements. As stated in the book ‘Pysical computing’ the firm Minco has a wide range of heat sensors and elements. Interesting are the flexible sensors and elements. Both come in very small sizes. The sensors can measure very small temperature differences, I’ll seen numbers like 0,04C. Here’s an example: Polyimide […]
