A modular system for prototyping the exact placement of sensors, to be able to use/try/test them before finalizing where they go!

Nadja Kutz has been developing all kinds of ideas for making herself datagloves (and senor-wear) to allow her to interact with her computer in alternate (more healthy) ways. One nice quick&cheap solutions she has been using are rubber/latex gloves and stickytape or glue. But another idea she had was to combine the hook-side of Velcro with powermesh fabric.

For a first series of dataglove prototypes for Arne’s commission, I used this technique to build a modular glove + magnetic field sensors + magnets prototype.

Snaps

Using plastic (or metal) snaps to hold things in place on top of fabric like in this ohmGlove example:

Or in between layers of fabric like here:
