Overview
How do you think, could a dress or a jacket make you feel more confident, evoke pleasant memories, or communicate the emotions of your partner at a distance? Yes, it certainly can. By joining this course, you will find out not only how but will create your own vibrotactile feedback embedded in a wearable form, such as a garment or an accessory.
Programme Structure
During the first half of the course the students will learn the fundamental design principle for wearables, then will dive deeper into vibrotactile feedback and how it can be designed to communicate rich information.
During the second half of the course, the students will work in groups to first ideate, then create the vibrotactile patterns to convey information for the selected user scenario. The students will work with the specialized software to create vibrotactile patterns and will use Arduino controllers, and actuators to build high-fidelity prototypes.
The outcome of the course is to design and build a working wearable prototype that can be used for evaluation.
