Title: Are You Sitting Down? Sensing postural changes with e-textiles Abstract: Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are conductive fabrics and threads that can be used to form circuitry which can be directly integrated into wearable garments or other soft furnishings like seat covers. This talk will present recent work showing how e-textile pressure sensors can discriminate between social activities such as speaking and listening, but will also review the challenges in prototyping with this technology. In particular, highlighting the interdisciplinary expertise required from a broad range of disciplines — from signal processing to pattern cutting — that are needed in order to generate robust and reliable sensing systems.
