Interactive and experiential design in smart textile products and applications

Multiple User Interfaces and Crossplatform User Experience : Theoretical Foundations

“…UX is considered as an umbrella term for a range of dynamic concepts, such as traditional usability (see e.g., [36,37]), affective, and emotional (see e.g., [38][39][40][41]), experiential (see e.g., [35,42]), hedonic (see e.g., [43,44]), aesthetic (see e.g., [45]), and values variables. There is also an argument that user experience goes far beyond interaction with user interfaces.…”

Attitudes and Acceptability of Smart Wear Technology: Qualitative Analysis from the Perspective of Caregivers

“…Smart wear can be defined as innovative clothing that is integrated with digital equipment. It provides the "smart" or "intelligent" ability to sense stimuli from the environment, and then react or adapt behavior to the circumstances in a controlled or predicted manner (Baurley, 2004). The stimulus and response can have an electrical, thermal, chemical, magnetic or other origin (Tao, 2001, Langenhove & Hertleer, 2004.…”

“…According to Lim (2009), smart wear research was initiated by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for military use in the early 1990s. Baurley (2004) argued that the integration of smart functionality into clothing/ other textile products will have an impact in the use of clothing. The potential applications cover wide range of areas, and the possibilities in monitoring of health care are huge.…”

Design Methodology And Performance Studies Of A Flexible Electrotextile Surface

“…This is a field of innovation that broadened the scope of the traditional textile and apparel products to high-tech textiles, designed to meet specific needs [14], involving different technologies [9,3] and produced according to required properties, like personal protection [19,17,10], safety [14], leisure [7] or health wear [12]. Just as in classical electronics, the construction of electronic capabilities for electrotextiles requires the usage of conducting pathways on fabric constructions.…”
