    Time Sensing Bracelet

    The Time Sensing Bracelet is a Fabric Potentiometer. You select your desired time of day by making contact in the corresponding position on your wrist - where your watch would normally be.

    Neoprene Pressure Sensor

    also: neoprene pressure sensor, conductive thread Pressure Sensor
    Stitching conductive thread into neoprene to create a pressure sensitive pad. This sensor is very similar to the Fabric bend sensor or vis-versa. And also close to the Fabric Pressure Sensor, but the difference is that the conductive surface is minimized by stitching only a few stitches on [...]

    Multiplexer Fabric Breakout

    Used in Puppeteer motion-capture costume.

    Neoprene Battery Pouches

    These neoprene battery pouches are made to fit different kinds of common batteries. They turn out to be very useful when prototyping and competing a range of different projects, not necessarily just wearable ones.

    Fabric Button

    also: soft button, textile button, soft switch
    These super simple fabric buttons are soft, fun to push and can come in handy when building various prototypes. They all share the same ground or plus, depending on what you hook what up to.

    Neoprene Motor Pouch

    Used in solar t-shirt workshop.

    Neoprene Bend Sensor

    also: neoprene bend sensor, conductive thread Bend Sensor, Bend Sensor (thread)
    This bend sensor actually reacts (decreases in resistance) to pressure, not specifically to bend. But because it is sandwiched between two layers of neoprene (rather sturdy fabric), pressure is exerted while bending, thus allowing one to measure bend (angle) via pressure.
