Sammanfattning
Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are an emerging trend that has been under development for years but has yet to become a common consumer product. And listening, one of humans’ important sensory features, contributes to how we perceive and experience the world. Our project focuses on exploring the potential of combining e-textiles with sonic interaction to develop products that enhance the human sensory experience. Our goal is to investigate how e-textiles and sonic interaction can be utilized to provide a playful and relaxing experience for desk-workers at home.
The main goal of our project is to explore: How can e-textile and sonic interaction be used to provide a playful and relaxing experience for desk-workers at home? Using an iterative design method, we brainstormed potential applications for sonic interaction with e-textiles and chose work-from-home as our theme. We developed several prototypes that reflect our concepts and expertise. We also conducted a comprehensive evaluation of our prototypes to determine their effectiveness in delivering a playful and relaxing experience for desk-workers at home. Our project contributes to the field of e-textiles by highlighting the potential of sonic interaction and its ability to enhance human sensory experience, and by providing design strategies for future e-textile products that prioritize user experience.
