"Weavetech" woven technology demos 2025/11

Описание: In fall 2025, I made five prototypes combining weaving and technology for a local event:
1 Playing piano with a woven glove (Makey Makey) 0:00
2 Banging a bongo via a woven patch interlaced with conductive thread (Makey Makey) 0:17
3 Watching "Mousebots" braid 0:29
4 Wearing a woven e-textile scarf (in: temperature+accelerometer, out: full-color LED, buzzer) 0:42
5 Lighting up a woven gimp flashlight 1:04
(Extra: my very nice students (Anu, Harrin, Gayathry) also made a cool proximity circuit
that lit up LEDs when someone got close) 1:11


Various notes:
*It's a bit quiet, but there is sound with this video.
*These sources gave me some inspiration for the first two demos (everything else in 3-5 is from me):
1 makey makey glove controller
   • Makey Makey Glove Controller - Make your o...  
2 conductive sensor
   • Make a Woven Capacitive Touch Sensor | STE...  
*Equipment in 1-5 was borrowed or purchased at Halmstad University, Sweden
Thank you to Isabell Larsson for lending me the Makey Makeys and Beebots! And thank you to those who let me get a Flora microcontroller and some sensors/actuators for 4.
*"Weavetech" is a term I've coined as far as I know since I wanted some kind of term to describe these demos. (There seem to be some companies with this name but that's not what I'm referring to.)
