“…The Wearable Motherboard project and related work at Georgia Tech has led to the creation of a system for monitoring a user's health, including heartbeat and respiration as well as the location of a bullet wound [11,19]. Applications include monitoring infants for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome as well as monitoring the status of soldiers on the battlefield.…”

This paper describes our design of a simulation environment for electronic textiles (e-textiles) and our experiences with that environment. This simulation environment, based upon Ptolemy II, enables us to model a diverse range of areas related to the design of electronic textiles, including the physical environment they will be used in, the behavior of the sensors incorporated into the fabric, the on-fabric network, the power consumption of the system, and the execution of the application and system software. This paper focuses on two aspects of the system, modeling the motion of a person wearing the e-textile and modeling the effect of faults in the e-textile system. To partially validate this environment, we compare simulation results against results from two different physical prototypes, a large-scale acoustic beamformer and a pair of shape-sensing pants.

Sensory Fabric is a technology that uses electrically conductive textiles to fabricate switches and sensors. In this article we examine how a number of broad device types, or form factors, can be reconfigured or made more ubiquitous by replacing their traditional interface hardware with Sensory Fabric. The implications of using a fabric solution are explored for handheld and personal devices, educational computing, and the personal computer interface. Each case study describes a number of technology demonstrator devices, using them to illustrate how some of the drawbacks of traditionally packaged interfaces can be countered. Sensory Fabric can replace small, cold, hard, heavy, and smooth interfaces with large area, warm, soft, lightweight, and tactile ones.

“…Some more recent related work by others [21] also involves building circuits into clothing, in which a garment is constructed as a monitoring device to determine the location of a bullet entry. The underwearable differs from this monitoring apparatus in the sense that the underwearable is totally reconfigurable in the field, and also in the sense that it embodies humanistic computing (the apparatus reported in [21] performs a monitoring function but does not facilitate human interaction).…”
