“…Devendorf et al developed the AdaCAD software to improve the process of designing woven textiles with conductive elements, and they incorporated procedures for developing these types of woven electrodes [25]. This software will enable the production of more intricate and well-integrated electrode designs in the future.…”

Wearable physiological monitoring systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in the push toward autonomous health monitoring and offer new modalities for playful and purposeful interaction within human computer interaction (HCI). Sensing systems that can be integrated into garments and, therefore, daily activities offer promising pathways toward ubiquitous integration. The electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is commonly monitored in healthcare and is increasingly utilized as a method of determining emotional and psychological state; however, the complete ECG waveform with the P, Q, R, S, and T peaks is not commonly used, due to the challenges associated with collecting the full waveform with wearable systems. We present woven textile electrodes as an option for garment-integrated ECG monitoring systems that are capable of capturing the complete ECG waveform. In this work, we present the changes in the peak detection performance caused by different sizes, patterns, and thread types with data from 10 human participants. These testing results provide empirically-derived guidelines for future woven textile electrodes, present a path forward for assessing design decisions, and highlight the importance of testing novel wearable sensor systems with more than a single individual.

“…Within HCI, the ability to share patterns to be physically reproduced elsewhere is one of the key markers of the digital fabrication revolution [81,200]. As a result, researchers have been exploring digitizing textile patterns such as the creation of Ada-CAD software for digital looms [77] and Sketch&Stitch for digital embroidery [95]. The digitized patterns have also enabled new interactions possibilities such as embroidery games [3,171], live participation and data inputs [4,164,238], incorporating found materials [5], and combining textile fabrication with other rapid prototyping pipelines such as 3D printing [49,89].…”

“…Looms create a woven fabric where the weft (horizontal) threads are woven under and over warp (longitudinal) threads to create cross patterns [51,68]. Because the threads are spaced tightly together, woven textiles have little to no stretch [68,77].…”

“…Digital looms (such as the TCII) and manual looms provide makers with a high level of tension control compared to knitting and embroidery, and so it is easier to integrate brittle e-textile components (Figure 2.5) [77]. Makers can also make weavings that are completely flexible.…”

“…They found that traditionally aesthetic weaving patterns can create components when integrated with conductive threads, such as the waffle weave which becomes a force sensor, or a double weave which can create insulating layers, or yarn plying to create specialized e-textile yarns that warm up [51]. Projects like the web application AdaCAD [77] from the same research group aim to help makers combine weaving patterns with circuitry designs with software to create bitmap files that can be uploaded to a TCII digital loom. Another recent innovation is 3D weaving, which allows makers to develop volumetric objects such as woven shoes [89].…”

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) combine the conductive properties of metallic threads with increasingly small computers and microcontrollers to create textiles that are interactive. E-textiles enable new opportunities such as devices that are strong yet flexible, and the ability to use more accessible crafting tools and materials. They also allow technology to blend into the textiles we have in our lives, such as those on our bodies and in our homes. In education, e-textiles are incorporated into curriculums for how they can increase participation in physical computing, while also enabling new creative and expressive applications. Yet blending the fields of physical computing and textiles is not simple, since each has its own culture of terminology, design and prototyping practices, tools, techniques, and methods of documentation.The goal of this thesis is to support beginners in learning the hybrid craft of e-textiles with e-textile learning scaffolds. Rather than building e-textiles from scratch, e-textile learning scaffolds are activities for supporting novices as they learn e-textile concepts and practice the tacit aspects of the craft. One central research question runs throughout the projects in this thesis: "How can we scaffold e-textile ideation and experiential learning with tangible objects and activities?" This thesis contributes five studies, each providing a tangible scaffold or activity, or scaffolding recommendations, for teaching e-textiles in courses or workshops. The design of these i learning scaffolds focused on how they could be accessible to educators by prioritizing reproducibility, re-use, and low-cost.• To my supervisor: Thank you for being there for all the twists and turns this PhD has taken and for your guidance along the way.• To my committee members, publication co-authors, and peer reviewers: Taking the time to read someone's work and provide feedback is always a gift. Thank you! • To my study participants: Thank you so much for providing your time and expertise to this research. I have learned so much from my time spent with all of you. • Most of the work in this thesis happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. A big thank you to my friends and family who helped me through this incredibly difficult time. • To the PhD student who reads this, since only PhD students spend time reading other thesis documents: I hope you find joy in your thesis journey -wishing you all the best! vii Ubiquitous computing Computers that are 'ubiquitous' in our environment, i.e. distributed and within all objects [301]. Zone of proximal development (ZPD) The area or "zone" where learning can occur. If a task is too hard, an individual will become frustrated, and equally if a task is too easy an individual will not learn anything [96].
