6 really wearable sensors
The textile sensors on our website are often not designed to be manipulated with your hands. In an attempt to move away from manual control, towards bodily entanglement, this post shows 6 wearable textile sensors that are designed to be worn on different parts of the body. The idea being that the experience of building your first textile/wearable sensor is coupled with wearing that sensor, not holding it in your hand and manipulating it with your fingers (your digits).
