“…Secondly, the development of interactive clothing lacks the guidance of a theoretical system model, and clothing designers engaged in art design do not know how to use sensor technology to achieve the automatic interaction effect of clothing to trigger the communication desire of autistic patients. Current researchers seldom dabble in the systematic research of smart clothing from information modeling to humanistic evaluation, and most of them analyze the information technology application or humanistic design respectively from a single academic background [15][16][17][18][19], which may lead their inability to systematically explain the principle and process of how to extract data as well as transform and form a humanistic feeling of the interactive clothing.…”

This study is aimed at bridging the gap from a transdisciplinary perspective between cyber-physical systems (CPS) architecture in the field of information science and emotional design in the field of humanistic science for interactive fashion innovation. Information related to a familiar feeling in the process of interactive clothing design is used to explain how the transformation could be realized from data. By creating the cyber-physical-clothing systems (CPCS), the architecture model in the hyper world and takes the development process of an interactive parent-child clothing as a case study for analyzing the transformation from the physical signal input to the social symbol recognition output. The experimental results, which from the perspective of clothing art design rather than information discipline, show that interactive parent-child clothing is not only suitable for the rehabilitation of autistic children but also recognized by most parents. The reasonable embedding of sensing technology can greatly enhance the added value of clothing products. This study provides a fruitful practical application reference for designers who are engaged in the field of art and design but not familiar with the relevant information technology. Furthermore, the application principle and the technical process of CPCS for further interactive clothing design is explained.

One of the numerous applications of wearable computers is providing safety in occupations where heat-related injuries are prevalent. Core temperature, as a parameter that cannot be measured by on-body sensors is a variable that is specifically interesting for realizing such applications. In the context of the design of a sensor-shirt that can be used by firefighters, in this paper we study the importance of different types of sensor measurements and their placement for estimating core temperature. We propose a model for inferring the dangerous states of core temperature. Our evaluation results show that our model can to a great extent estimate hazardous situations caused by heat accumulation.

“…Therefore, the design of smart or intelligent protective clothing system is vital to be able to record physiological data, health and safety such as heart rate or location of the fire fighters without changing its characteristics of flexibility and comfort (Salim et al 2014). A number of studies investigated the application of wearable sensors under protective clothing; however the enhancement is required to monitor all the vital parameters for firefighters (McLellan and Daanen 2012).…”

“…As soon as the heart rate and skin temperature increase above the safety threshold, the warning signal will alert the worker, either by vibration, visual or audible signals. Wearable Advanced Sensor Platform is another wearable tracking device, which can track firefighters' location and physical activity (Globe 2014;Salim et al 2014).…”

Fire-fighters' personal protective clothing is the only source of protection for fire-fighters during fire-fighting. The protective clothing should provide adequate protection as well as should be comfortable to wear. The protection and comfort requirements are always the contradicting fact in several protective clothing including fire-fighters'. Appropriate material selection, clothing design and final evaluation of the results play a critical role in predicting the clothing performance and comfort. Several researches have been done on the performance and comfort improvement of fire-fighter's protective clothing. However, detailed review related to these parameters is not being reported in recent years. In this perspective review, we report the recent trends in the performance and comfort properties of the fire-fighters protective clothing. The clothing design and different materials used to achieve a balance between performance and comfort is illustrated. Various test standards related to the performance and comfort is also being discussed. In addition, the future scopes and challenges while designing tomorrows advanced protective clothing are cited. This would provide a guideline in terms of comfort and performance while developing and designing the fire-fighter protective clothing for different climatic conditions.
