One round of #applause please for our lab members Sam, Leo, and Philipp, who just received their MSc.! Well-earned, congrats! 🥳👏🎓

[Media Interaction Lab @mil_austria]

Way to go! Sam presented his first paper at the Int. Conference on Human Systems Engineering and Design #IHSED in beautiful Dubrovnik, HR! The paper investigates touch location on #textiles, utilizing #sensors co-located only along the fabrics' borders: https://t.co/Op6rqApPPp

As part of a fun and exciting demo session at UIST'22, we presented two designs of integral multi-material #knits for #sensing strain and/or pressure. Check out details, extended abstract, and video on our project page! #etextiles #sensors #knitting #HCI https://t.co/xUMdc96bTt

By adding electrically resistive and conductive yarn into #spacer #knit structures, we create highly sensitive and versatile textile #UI elements with a pleasant haptic appeal. Find more details, including our UIST'22 technical paper at our webpage: https://t.co/7tr9CECefm

It was a delight to present our full paper and demo (with a slight halloweeny touch) at @UIST22 last week. It's been an absolute pleasure to meet people again and have many inspiring discussions on-site! Thanks for having us! #HCI #smarttextiles #sensors #etextiles

Big thanks to our friends at #muratec Kyoto for the good support so far, and also for the tasteful present! Had a good chat and very looking forward to collaborate, hopefully breaking new ground together! #textilemachinery #technicaltextiles #smarttextiles

[Media Interaction Lab @mil_austria]

Sweet! Our paper about #knitted #textile #sensors for #tactile #userinterfaces was selected for publication at ACM #UIST22! We'll present it at Halloween in Bend, Oregon; stay tuned for more details about this work! #etextiles #technicaltextiles #HCI

With #KTM, Kiska, and WIVW, we develop a dashboard to support efficient driving of electric two-wheelers. By adaptive eco-coaching, we support drivers' awareness and behavior to reduce energy consumption. https://t.co/15HuOeKK0w #climateaction #energyefficiency #sustainability

For our #knit sensors, we use JS to generate our machine programs in an instant. Our KnittingUtils JS library (WIP) can now be cloned from #Github. Find out more details about our pipeline on our project page! https://t.co/McSXNW3dAb

Media Lab researchers have produced textiles that conform to the body and sense the wearer’s posture and motions. Their “smart” shoes and mats could be used in applications ranging from health care to prosthetics to modern dance. https://t.co/N9FYJdOPBJ

Alora, some impressions from our visit of MIL Italia at #unibz last week. Had a splendid time discussing new opportunities and research collaborations, not to mention the great Pasta, Gnocchi, Wine, Espressi... Fantastico, we'll be back asap!

Last week, @davaexplorer presented the 3D Knit BioSuit™—a multidisciplinary, collaborative work involving groups across MIT and industry—at #MARS2022. Learn more about this new prototype, which is the first BioSuit™ to integrate smart sensing! https://t.co/N6VBLCajIU

Phew!! Now we'll have a break. 😄 Good luck to all our friends out there for your #CHI2022 submission! 🤞

[Media Interaction Lab @mil_austria]

In our work for @acmdis2021, we explore the design space for surface #gestures of user interfaces for #smartTextiles. Check out the project page and see you next week at #DIS! https://t.co/wMFsGTI2mL

[Media Interaction Lab @mil_austria]

We got mail from Yokohama – thanks to @sig_chi for the award! It's a shame we were again not able to present our work on-site, but we're working hard towards CHI'22!

[Media Interaction Lab @mil_austria]

Join us at 3:20PM UTC at the #CHI2021 Wearables, Tangibles, and Fabrics Session to see the presentation of our paper TexYZ and join the Q&A! https://t.co/hKDD4UZNli
