Japanese researchers weave capacitive touch into large-area textiles, want to make them wearable (video)
Conductive fibers, yo, they’re the future . Japan’s AIST is back with yet another quirky idea , this time integrating capacitive touch sensors into 1-micron thick nylon fibers. The results is a big old cloth that can sense your loving touch and inform nearby computers of what you’re up to. Initial uses envisioned by the research outfit include implementation in hospitals to monitor bedridden patients, but the ultimate goal is to make this extra-sensitive array a wearable accoutrement. Wouldn’t that be lovely?
