TexYZ: Embroidering Enameled Wires for Three Degree-of-Freedom Mutual Capacitive Sensing

In this paper, we present TexYZ, a method for rapid and effortless manufacturing of textile mutual capacitive sensors using a commodity embroidery machine. We use enameled wire as a bobbin thread to yield textile capacitors with high quality and consistency. As a consequence, we are able to leverage the precision and…
