“…The domain of Object Editing & Customization was explored thoroughly in the context of 3D printing [7,22,27], and textile-based wearables [15]. However, this work to our knowledge is the first example of a technique that enables on-the-fly, soft-material modifications to everyday objects.…”

We propose a novel fabrication method for 3D objects based on the principle of spooling. By wrapping off-the-shelf materials such as thread, ribbon, tape or wire onto a core structure, new objects can be created and existing objects can be augmented with desired aesthetic and functional qualities. Our system, WraPr, enables gesture-based modelling and controlled thread deposition. We outline and explore the design space for this approach. Various examples are fabricated to demonstrate the possibility to attain a range of physical and functional properties. The simplicity of the proposed method opens the grounds for a lightweight fabrication approach for the generation of new structures and the customization of existing objects using soft materials.

“…For more advanced interactions, zebra fabric with alternating conductive/non-conductive strips has been employed in several projects. By using two orthogonally arranged layers, separated with piezo-resistive fabric, touch [38], pressure [23] and deformation [30] can be sensed to track movement, gestures and folding.…”

Adding electronics to textiles can be time-consuming and requires technical expertise. We introduce SensorSnaps, lowpower wireless sensor nodes that seamlessly integrate into caps of fabric snap fasteners. SensorSnaps provide a new technique to quickly and intuitively augment any location on the clothing with sensing capabilities. SensorSnaps securely attach and detach from ubiquitous commercial snap fasteners. Using inertial measurement units, the SensorSnaps detect tap and rotation gestures, as well as track body motion. We optimized the power consumption for SensorSnaps to work continuously for 45 minutes and up to 4 hours in capacitive touch standby mode. We present applications in which the SensorSnaps are used as gestural interfaces for a music player controller, cursor control, and motion tracking suit. The user study showed that SensorSnap could be attached in around 71 seconds, similar to attaching off-the-shelf snaps, and participants found the gestures easy to learn and perform. SensorSnaps could allow anyone to effortlessly add sophisticated sensing capacities to ubiquitous snap fasteners.

“…SkinMarks [35] and iSkin [34] are 1D compliant skin-worn sensors for touch input. Flexible touch matrices have been created through multi-layer resistive fabric [11,19,25], pressure-sensitive textile optical fibers [22], plastic film over sensing electrodes [21], a piezoresistive elastomer-based soft sensor using electrical impedance tomography [39], embroidery [6,17,40], fabric screen-printing [41]; metal foils [12], and weaving of conductive thread [14,18].…”

ABSTRACTWe introduce I/O Braid, an interactive textile cord with embedded sensing and visual feedback. I/O Braid senses proximity, touch, and twist through a spiraling, repeating braiding topology of touch matrices. This sensing topology is uniquely scalable, requiring only a few sensing lines to cover the whole length of a cord. The same topology allows us to embed fiber optic strands to integrate co-located visual feedback.We provide an overview of the enabling braiding techniques, design considerations, and approaches to gesture detection. These allow us to derive a set of interaction techniques, which we demonstrate with different form factors and capabilities. Our applications illustrate how I/O Braid can invisibly augment everyday objects, such as touch-sensitive headphones and interactive drawstrings on garments, while enabling discoverability and feedback through embedded light sources. ExpressivityWe are interested in extending the I/O Braid gesture set. For example, we plan to investigate support for several of the popular gestures from the elicitation study, such as slide, as they should be possible to recognize using the current architecture. We are also interested in reflectometry [37] to sense the position of a touch on the cord. Combining I/O Braid with near field radio or bioimpedance [23, 24] may
