ABSTRACT
We present a toolkit for the DIY production of interactive textile prototypes and smart fashion. The toolkit is easily accessible and requires only an iron for implementation. The key to our approach is the use of flexible PCBs and textile conductor paths fused together by a heat-activated adhesive in a single process step. The toolkit offers a variety of applications, such as the realization of prototypes, the production of small series, applications in the DIY community and within the field of digital education. In the following, we present our technology and provide insights into the application of the toolkit.

Demonstrating Rapid Iron-On User Interfaces: Hands-on Fabrication of Interactive Textile Prototypes
CHI EA '20: Extended Abstracts of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsRapid prototyping of interactive textiles is still challenging, since manual skills, several processing steps, and expert knowledge are involved. We demonstrate Rapid Iron-On User Interfaces, a novel fabrication approach for empowering designers and ...
The HapticTouch toolkit: enabling exploration of haptic interactions
TEI '12: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied InteractionIn the real world, touch based interaction relies on haptic feedback (e.g., grasping objects, feeling textures). Unfortunately, such feedback is absent in current tabletop systems. The previously developed Haptic Tabletop Puck (HTP) aims at supporting ...
