Last month I attended the e-textile group at V2_ for the first time. It was a very inspiring evening and I hope lots more will follow for me. We debated intensely on extending the senses and what is lost in the process. Read the report at the V2_ website: http://www.v2.nl/lab/blog/transformational-garments

ISEA2010 excursion to Eindhoven

wrist interface
Pressure point interface with SMD-LED’s. Not sure why the LED’s don’t light up when I power them with 1,2 volt…?
thermochromic interface
A variation on a pressure point interface using black thermochromic ink on a ring of fluorescent fabric. Glued the fabric and only supply 1,5 volt power. See the full gallery on Posterous
GRS electrodes experiment
First sketch of new electrodes for e-Pressed. Galvanic Skin Response sensor electrodes made less obtrusive, hopefully. See the full gallery on Posterous
Productive
My aim for this workshop (19-9-09) was to put the three sensors together but we also had a have a meeting with AnnaMariaCornelia concerning the design. The rest was kind enough to let me meet first. I showed the various designs I did with the safety vest as basis. The vest was present from the start […]
