A simple modulating pulse loop on some electro-luminescent fibre. It's really more of a cord than a fiber, quite thick, but this is all we have to work with right now. It starts looking nice when it hits the .01 second area.

The Kukkia and Vilkas video describes our first experiment in kinetic garments. We have integrated the shape memory alloy Nitinol in textile substrates to create Kukkia and Vilkas, two animated dresses that move or change shape over time, using resistive heating and control electronics.

Designer Mariëlle Leenders has experimented with fabric that features shape memory wire either woven into the material or added later as one or more lines of stitching. Her Moving Textiles (2000) react to differences in temperature by shrinking, creasing, changing structure or rolling up. Lines of stitching added to the basic material in certain places cause the fabric to creep up when temperatures rise.

These are two examples of how the Fabric Pressure Sensor principle can be stitched to form a matrix of individual sensors.

The larger purple example has the individual sensors, which cover 1cm2 spaced every other cm2.

The smaller white example has the 1cm2 individual sensors spaced right next to each other, every cm2.

The CE glove prototype is wearable unobtrusive device able to detect human hand gesture, posture and movement. It is made of piezoresistive and elastic sensors directly printed on fabrics. Sensor and interconnections are made with the same elastic material, thus keeping unmodified the mechanical properties of the fabric itself. The prototype is light and flexible and can be wear from the users for a long time with no discomfort.

SysTex Student Award Submission

A Report About my Work Within Intelligent Textiles

My name is Laura Wilson and I would like to share my unique vision of the future for smart technologies. I am a textiles student who is determined to redefine public opinions on wearable technologies towards a more accessible public availability from the ‘concept pieces’ seen in galleries, towards more public availability.

Introduction

The basis for this project started with questioning how much we can give the consumer. What do they want that

they cannot get from each other? What do they get from each other that they may not be getting enough of? And
