InSense3D: Designing Smart 3D-Printed Structures Leveraging Ferromagnetic Filaments for Inductive Deformation Sensing

In this paper, we explore the design and development of passive soft 3D-printed structures whose deformation can be sensed accurately without any wired connection. By 3D printing tangible interfaces consisting of flexible TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), made from lattice structures with bespoke geometries and mechan…

Knitted Inductive Flex Sensors for Wearable Applications

We introduce a knitted inductive flex sensor which seamlessly integrates a coil and a capacitor into a soft and flexible tubular knit. By knitting enameled copper wires, we form a self-supporting coil, whose inductance changes with stretching and bending. Knitting both a coil and a parallel-wire capacitor, we create a…

Embroidering Resonant Circuits for Inductive Pressure Sensing

In this paper, we introduce an embroidered resonant circuit for textile-based inductive pressure sensing. By embroidering enameled wire onto a flexible textile, we create a coil and a capacitor using a single continuous wire. This resonant circuit, combined with a ferromagnetic layer and a soft, compressible material…

SqueezeMe: Creating Soft Inductive Pressure Sensors with Ferromagnetic Elastomers

We introduce SqueezeMe, a soft and flexible inductive pressure sensor with high sensitivity made from ferromagnetic elastomers for wearable and embedded applications. Constructed with silicone polymers and ferromagnetic particles, this biocompatible sensor responds to pressure and deformation by varying inductance thr…

Interaction with a 3D Surface for an Innovative Input Experience on a Central Console

This paper explores the development of a touch-sensitive interactive 3D central console for vehicles aimed at simplifying access to tasks unrelated to driving, such as adjusting seats and controlling music. We investigated three console designs with front surface angles of 45°, 90° and 135°. The initial study assessed…

Threads of Traceability: Textile IDs in the Fabric of Sustainable Fashion

Textile fabrication, an ancient human technology, has evolved over millennia, transitioning from a focus on affordability and speed to a current emphasis on sustainability. With Textile ID, we envision a digital garment passport that seamlessly incorporates directly into textile surfaces as a design element to bridge…

Loopsense: low-scale, unobtrusive, and minimally invasive knitted force sensors for multi-modal input, enabled by selective loop-meshing

Integrating sensors into knitted input devices traditionally comes with considerable constraints for textile and UI design freedom. In this work, we demonstrate a novel, minimally invasive method for fabricating knitted sensors that overcomes this limitation. We integrate copper wire with piezoresistive enamel directl…

spaceR: Knitting Ready-Made, Tactile, and Highly Responsive Spacer-Fabric Force Sensors for Continuous Input

With spaceR, we present both design and implementation of a resistive force-sensor based on a spacer fabric knit. Due to its softness and elasticity, our sensor provides an appealing haptic experience. It enables continuous input with high precision due to its innate haptic feedback and can be manufactured ready-made…
