| Resumen: | This paper will outline various methods for constructing electronic textiles within a framework of what we call soft computation - the design of electronic technology that is composed of soft materials such as textiles and threads, as well as predicated on traditional textile construction methods such as sewing, embroidery, and appliqué with various conductive and active materials to create interactive fabrics. We will outline several methodologies deployed in the construction of a particular electronic textile, the XS Labs Animated Quilt, a soft, reactive, addressable, visually animated fabric display. This textile uses thermochromic pigments as well as conductive fabrics and fibers for power delivery, communication, and networking. It is constructed from multiple fabric swatches that are individually addressable (with conductive threads) and can slowly change color from black to white. Each color change can be programmed in the custom electronics board or controlled in real time. The textile can be used to display animated low resolution images on garments. |
