Atelier of smart garments and accessories

Abstract

Technology is actually weaving itself into 'the fabric of everyday life' (as predicted by Weiser). Nowadays, computational systems can be embedded in garments or body accessory, such as clothes, shirts, eyeglasses, bracelets and watches. This new technological revolution is deeply changing the human life and society. The Atelier of Smart Garments and Accessories workshop aims to bring together researchers from the academia and the industry in order to establish a multidisciplinary community interested in discovering and exploring the challenges and opportunities coming from this technological revolution.
