Research on Wearable-Technolo & Smartfabrics

Refrence of picture ome & Refrence of picture two - - Several applications associate with smart fabric textiles Smart textile - Smart Fabrics Applications My research highlights the evolving role of wearable technology as it increasingly transitions from purely functional devices to integrated fashion accessories. Items such as smart fabrics, glasses, rings, and footwear are now being designed to seamlessly combine style, health monitoring, connectivity, and user experience. Wearable devices are developing into aesthetic and intentional extensions of our personal and professional lives, moving beyond solely technical functions.

References & Inspiration

During Wearable Week, I was inspired to explore how technology can be integrated into fashion in a meaningful and expressive manner. This motivation led me to develop the iNecklace, an open-source wearable electronic device, with the goal of combining aesthetics, emotion, and functionality. The result is a transformative accessory that functions as a responsive, interactive object,

INTRODUCTION ON ELETRONICS & ELETRICITY

  • Electronics is a scientific and engineering discipline that studies and applies the principles of physics to design, create, and operate devices that manipulate electrons and other electrically charged particles.REFERENCE

  • Actuators are output devices that transform an electrical signal into a physical action in the real world. Very common examples of actuators could be motors, LEDs, LCD screens, etc. Applications REFERENCE

  • Input devices are electronic components that detect and gather information from the physical environment, converting it into electrical signals that can be processed by a system. Examples include sensors such as buttons, microphones, cameras, and other sensing modules. Applications REFERENCE

  • MCU-Microcontroller- microChips: A microchip is a general electronic component composed of semiconductor material that can perform various functions. A microcontroller is a specific type of microchip that incorporates a processor, memory, and input/output capabilities, designed to manage tasks within embedded systems. The term MCU (Microcontroller Unit) is another designation for a microcontroller, referring to the same integrated, self-contained computing device. (Techtarget; Vemeko)

my code

Use the three backticks to separate code.

``` int ledPin = 10; // Change to the pin where your LED is connected

void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); }

void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn LED ON delay(500); // Wait 0.5 second digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn LED OFF delay(500); // Wait 0.5 second }
