| The Sensor Sleeve: Sensing Affective Gestures (2008) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| We describe the use of textile sensors mounted in a garment sleeve to detect affective gestures. The ` Sensor Sleeve' is part of a larger project to explore the role of affect in communications. Pressure activated, capacitive and elasto-resistive sensors are investigated and their relative merits reported on. An implemented application is outlined in which a cellphone receives messages derived from the sleeve's sensors using a Bluetooth interface, and relays the signals as text messages to the user's nominated partner. | |||||||||||||||
