One of the chief challenges of wearable sensing is adapting electronic components and sensors to the wearable environment. Electronic components are often rigid, bulky, and impermeable: factors that usually detract from wearing comfort. Here, we present a novel stretch sensor fabricated using the top thread of a standard industrial coverstitch machine. The machine is common in apparel production and...
Perceptibility on the part of the user is a key influence on the success or failure of a wearable sensor. Most wearable sensors seek to measure or monitor parameters of the body as accurately as possible, yet wearable sensors are notoriously plagued by the error (also referred as noise) that may be introduced by the movement of the sensor over the body surface. In this paper, we implement a novel...
The movement of everyday garments over the body surface during wearing often presents a problematic source of noise or error for garment-integrated wearable sensors. This paper describes early results of an assessment of the impact of body location and garment ease on movement of the garment over the body surface. The method implemented uses a running mannequin with a repeatable gait cycle as the...
This paper presents a novel method for measuring the movement of a garment relative to the body surface. Quantifying this movement affords a measurement of the displacement of a hypothetical body sensor embedded in a garment, which can be expressed as "error" or "movement noise" in some body-sensing applications. We present the method, based on motion-capture of garments worn by...
