This interdisciplinary project will revolutionize human-world interaction, by turning our everyday clothing into intelligent user interfaces, using our mobile devices as digital getaways to the world around us. Future interaction will be based on simple and natural hand movements on cloth, such as writing letters and numbers and tapping or swiping the cloth surface. ClothFace approach is fully passive, having no on-cloth energy sources, which makes implementation into clothing cost-effective and easy. Interdisciplinary collaboration will foster the design aspects, by administering research through design methods that will involve users, healthcare professionals, developers, as well as interaction and fashion designers into the design process of ClothFace. The project will establish the first ideal applications to versatile fields and create adaptable design knowledge. The results are easily approachable by the industry with visual and aesthetics oriented dissemination materials.
