This course will
introduce makers to an exciting new palate of conductive threads and
fabrics. Unique properties and qualities of each material will be
discussed.
You will learn how to construct your own textile
sensors (switches, potentiometers, pressure, tilt and flex sensors, etc)
as novel controls for electronics.
Potential applications
include: wearable technology, textile-based gaming interfaces, novel
interfaces and controls for electronic music, 3D architectural and
product interfaces, and much more.
Basic sewing skills (hand and
machine sewing) would be nice but not required.
If you don't
have any sewing experience, please review this
video.
