“…Some example applications include monitoring of flexion of fingers in the form of a glove [9][10][11][12], monitoring of movements in the knee, elbow etc. for motion capture and reconstruction [1,12,[29][30][31][32][33], and monitoring movements in the upper body (trunk) [25,34]. Hand gestures captured through gloves are used in many applications including robotics, virtual reality and the study of biomechanics.…”

“…Textile integrated with conventional strain gauges, as well as strain sensors implemented using special conductive materials/polymers, have been proposed for this purpose [7,12,[29][30][31][32]. Authors in [32] proposed the use of a wearable gesture sensing device which uses fabric based strain sensors (elastic webbing) for monitoring the flexion angle of elbow and knee movements (Fig.…”

Abstract. This chapter discusses the use of strain sensors in wearable devices. Strain sensors are used to monitor deformation under applied load. Various techniques for the fabrication of strain sensors are discussed and some example applications are presented. Special focus is placed on textile based and inkjet-printed strain sensors. Textile based strain sensors open new frontiers for wearable systems by integrating sensors into garments which can be used for extended periods of time. Inkjet printing along with conductive inkjet inks provides low cost, efficient, and rapid prototyping solution for implementation of strain sensors in wearable devices. Applications in the area of remote monitoring of physiological signals, vital signs, and human activity are presented.

“…Readout strategies for resistive sensor arrays can be, in general, subdivided into three categories: transistor/diode controlled approach (TDCA) [17], multiplexer-and op-amp-assisted approach (MOAA) [18], and incidence matrix approach (IMA) [19]. Nevertheless, these approaches have contributed to a noticeable complexity in circuits, especially for large-scale arrays, as they require a considerable number of additional electrical components (transistors, diodes, multiplexers, switches, op-amps, current sources, A/D converters (ADCs), etc.).…”

Fiber-based wearable electronic circuits and systems are a very promising next-generation technology for human-computer interaction, long-term health monitoring, virtual reality, and other fields. The advancement of nanotechnology has made it feasible to build electronic devices directly on the surface or inside of single fibers, which have typical thickness of several to tens of microns. However, imparting electronic functions to porous, highly deformable, and three-dimensional fiber assemblies and maintaining them during wear represent great challenges from both views of fundamental understanding and practical implementation. This chapter primarily focuses on the elementary electronic devices of fiber-type transistor, as well as fiber-based transistor circuits. As an important tie between the bottom physical layer to the top system layer, the electronic interfaces of fiber-based elements and arrays have been also considered. Lastly, two prototypes of fiber-based wearable system, the intelligent footwear system and smart cushion cover, are confronted, including the scheme plan, package, testing, and evaluation. Limitations of current materials, fabrication techniques, circuits, and systems concerning manufacturability and performance as well as scientific understanding that must be improved prior to their wide adoption have been also discussed.

Most current mobile technologies require on-screen operations for interacting with devices' visual contents. However, as a trade-off for mobility, screens usually provide limited space for interactions. To address this problem, I explore Body-Centric Interaction (BCI) -a design theme that extends a mobile device's interaction space from screen space to body space. My research methodology follows several steps. First, I use a generative bottom-up method -sketches and proof of concept implementations -to frame the breadth of the design space. Second, I populate the space with related work, which also unifies what has been done. Third -which is work in progress -I explore the depth of promising BCI methods, with the goal of developing, refining and testing particular mobile interaction techniques.
