“…When greater complexity is required, electronic-circuit design becomes relevant. Our survey found 15 sources putting focus primarily on electrical signalling [13,23,24,38,44,45,65,67,69,85,86,92,93,114,132] and 15 other sources in which the signalling or wiring plays a major role [3,6,37,70,72,73,82,83,94,95,97,111,115,133,134]. Simple weave [23, 24, 65, 67, 70, 134] [82, 93, 94, 111, 132, 133] F-photodetector [16] F-temperature [16] Temperature and humidity [70] EL wire [56,121] LEDs [16] Capacitive yarn [16,50] PCB [132,133] F-biosensor [16] Optical fbre [42,98,105] Plate capacitor [129] Pressure sensor [16,…”

“…The insulation, which one must remove prior to soldering or other electrical connection, confers these wires' main beneftprevention of short circuits when the textile moves and yarns in its structure cross. Our review identifed use of Litz wire and other enamelled wires [44,45,72], plastic-insulated wire [23,24,65] and tinsel-wire [69], and wire-wrapped wire [67,82]. Litz wire, normally used for creating transformers and coils, consists of individually enamelled copper flaments bundled together.…”

Advances to functional materials and fexible electronics have yielded new means of integrating electrical properties into textile materials, which invite researchers in various felds to apply woven-textile construction methods in eTextile development. However, common ground for woven eTextiles' prototyping is still taking shape. This calls for greater understanding of how the knowledge now scattered across diverse research felds can beneft the textiles' development for HCI. To investigate how eTextile research has employed weaving and extract insight for HCI purposes, the authors reviewed and categorised applications of woven structures and electrical functions, then identifed specifcally HCI-relevant qualities and means of creating them via weaving. The paper outlines those woven structures useful for HCI and advocates consistent weaving-related terminology, to improve knowledge transfer across disciplines. In addition, the results point to research opportunities involving haptic qualities, the ability to weave multiple layers, functionality integration, and tools and methods.

“…This enables creating custom garments, where material properties such as texture or elasticity can be fine-tuned dynamically [28,34]. Such material properties are essential for chronic deployment of wearable systems [24] both with regards to maintaining electrical functionality [23] and user comfort [38].…”

“…A unique property of this system which makes it particularly interesting for this type of case study is that all electrodes are connected on and around the throat. The sensitivity of its body location provides additional challenges not considered in previous case studies on wearability [24,38] or multi-electrode systems [9].…”

“…Similarly, infusion with conductive liquids [25] is not promising due to practicality. An applicable alternative is braiding or weaving in conductive yarn or wires [7,10,17], which, however, may affect tactile qualities and flexibility. Passive chemical treatments allow to create (body) hair that reacts to changes in a magnetic field [2,3] or temperature [37].…”

Human hair opens up new opportunities for embodied inter actions that build on its unique physical affordances and lo cation on the body. As hair has high socio-cultural signifi cance, the design of hair interfaces is coupled with social and personal needs. Albeit this makes fi eld investigations indis pensable, they are missing from prior work. We present a fab rication approach for gesture-controlled hair interfaces that are robust enough to be deployed in the fi eld. Our approach contributes sensorized feather hair extensions that combine capacitive and piezoresistive sensing. Their tactile proper ties make the interface blend seamlessly with human hair. We furthermore contribute results from a fi eld experiment where participants gained fi rst-hand experience in various so cial contexts. These show how hair-based interactions have great potential moving beyond planar touch gestures whilst their social appropriateness is context-sensitive. We synthe size the fi ndings into design implications that ground the fu ture design of usable and socially acceptable hair interfaces. l® G)This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution International 4.0 License.
