We’re excited to introduce the call for ISWC Design Exhibition (DesignX) at ACM Ubiquitous Computing and International Symposium on Wearable Computing (ISWC) 2026 in Shanghai, China! 🇨🇳✨ @ubiconf
#DesignX @ISWCNET

[Soft Technologies Lab @softtech_lab]

This semester, we welcome .STL new members with background and interests ranging from textiles/fashion, industrial design, computer science, soft robotics, to human-computer interaction.

Welcome Charlotte, Yining, Mia, and Joan! 🦾🧶⚙️🌱

[Soft Technologies Lab @softtech_lab]

We brought together artists and technologists in Singapore to examine how gravitational, mechanical, and environmental forces enact upon objects, environments, and collective experience in 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴: 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 & 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬.

Join us for the next Soft Technologies Seminar on Wed, 21st Jan 11am at the SDE4 Forum with Ali Shtarbanov, Founder of the FlowIO Platform. @medialab

[Irmandy Wicaksono @irmandyw]

The @softtech_lab is growing and seeking new members in 2026! PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, who are nimble to cross disciplines and well-equipped to push the boundaries between soft matter, the internet-of-things, and their human and nature-centric applications. 🧶🦾🧵

[Soft Technologies Lab @softtech_lab]

We are excited to introduce our first Soft Technologies Seminar on Soft Robotics and Spacesuits by @BristolRobotLab! @nus_cde_sg

[Soft Technologies Lab @softtech_lab]

Their final works challenged the boundaries of “smart textiles” and “soft robotics,” extending these ideas from wearables to objects and spatial environments.

[Soft Technologies Lab @softtech_lab]

We just wrapped up our “Soft Devices” Platform. In a short semester, DID students crafted a diverse range of artifacts integrating textile-based sensors and actuators, engaging with hardware systems. @NUSingapore
