The blossoming research field of e-textiles integrates computation with fabric. E-textile researchers weave, solder and sew electronics into cloth to build soft, flexible and washable computational devices. E-textiles is a young discipline, and developments in the field have been relegated almost exclusively to research labs in industry and academia. In this University of Washington program, learn about advancements that make e-textiles accessible to new audiences that are helping to democratize ubiquitous computing and integrate electronic hardware with cloth.
