Towards Self-Aware Materials
Artem Dementyev · 2016
We propose a self-aware material in the form-factor of a fabric. This material contains dense sensor nodes on a flexible and stretchable substrate. It is self-configurable and can be manipulated as a traditional craft material, by cutting and joining. The complete shape of this self-sensing material can be tracked by sensing its deformation and stretch. We hope to enable artists and designers to easily make sophisticated sensor networks. This work is a continuation of the SensorTape project, which is a sensor network in the form-factor of a tape.
