Abstract：
This work presents a novel and versatile approach to employ textile capacitive sensing as an effective solution for capturing human body movement through fashionable and everyday-life garments. Conductive textile patches are utilized for sensing the movement, working without the need for strain or direct body contact, wherefore the patches can sense only from their deformation within the garment. This principle allows the sensing area to be decoupled from the wearer\'s body for improved wearing comfort and more pleasant integration. We demonstrate our technology based on multiple prototypes which have been developed by an interdisciplinary team of electrical engineers, computer scientists, digital artists, and smart fashion designers through several iterations to seamlessly incorporate the technology of capacitive sensing with corresponding design considerations into textile materials. The resulting accumulation of textile capacitive sensing wearables showcases the versatile application possibilities of our technology from single-joint angle measurements towards multi-joint body part tracking.
摘要：
这项工作提出了一种新颖且通用的方法，以采用纺织品电容感测作为通过时尚和日常生活服装捕获人体运动的有效解决方案。导电织物贴片用于感测运动，在不需要应变或直接身体接触的情况下工作，因此，贴片只能从它们在服装内的变形中感知。该原理允许感测区域与穿戴者的身体解耦,以改善穿戴舒适性和更舒适的整合。我们展示了基于多个原型的技术，这些原型是由跨学科的电气工程师团队开发的，计算机科学家,数字艺术家,和智能时装设计师通过多次迭代，将电容传感技术与相应的设计考虑无缝地结合到纺织材料中。纺织电容式传感可穿戴设备的积累展示了我们技术从单关节角度测量到多关节身体部位跟踪的多功能应用可能性。
