Encouraging interaction using curiosity
Soft intervention models to strengthen connection through curiosity
Discovery
the brief
Work with a team to create a speculative design.
We had 7 weeks to plan, fabricate, and present our designs. I shared that I was constructing mesh gloves and we began ideating on using sensors in gloves.
Planning the product
Sensor selection and technical planning
We identified that we needed sensors that captured push, pull, and stroke motions. We created detailed diagrams of the materials and layers. Our independent research involved understanding what types of sensors were needed and how they technically functioned.
Prototype
Wireframe
Circuit mapping on a dress form
On a dress form, we mapped out every component and layer needed with paper, pipe cleaners and cotton string.
Paper Prototype
First draft of garment construction on paper
The paper prototypes helped us understand the electrical components in relationship to the garment construction.
Testing
Circuit testing
Constant testing and iteration
We frequently tested our conductive materials and our circuits to ensure they gave the proper output.
Presentation
Video Documentation
Constant testing and iteration
This video is one of the final outputs of the project. As a part of the documentation, we created a surveillance video of two test subjects wearing neoTCH 1.3 for the first time.
