10. E-Textiles and Wearables II¶
How do you make something wearable? Why do we wear tech? 1. Self expression 2. Communication 3. Protection
BeST PRACTICES¶
SMALL FLEX
What will the function be? ( considerations)¶
- Durability
- Wearability
- Washasbiliy
- Power
- Circuit layout
Considerations¶
Visibility Privacy Sustainability
State changes possible in wearable can happen in three forms:¶
- Visually with LEDS, through hole LED, Surface mount LEDS challlenge difficult to sutter, Sewable LEDS. Side emitting tends to have less cladding. Bad idea for fiber optics heat shrinking and easy glue.
- Sound
- Motion
