There will be practical sessions where the participants will get the chance to learn about ways to quickly create sensors on textiles. Furthermore how to connect them to computers and send the information to other devices such as cellphones or via the internet to a remote location.

For the practical sessions you will need to bring a laptop. We will provide you with the software, hardware, conductive fabrics and threads, as well as tools. You don’t need any previous experience from programming, electronics or textiles to attend the practical session. We will show you that it is easy to get started prototyping interactive applications on garments. We hope this will help you envision new uses of this promising technology.

We also present physical demonstrators from 1scale1, Bioservo, FOV, Smart Textiles, University of Borås and SP.

The workshop is for those that work as product developers within the textile area, who work within the electronic field and want to expand into textile application, or those who are curious of how to get new functionalities into textiles.

The workshop will be held in English.
