Abstract

This workshop will explore the use of low-cost materials and tools to build textile-based interfaces that replace the current hard-shell computer mice or laptop touchpads that you use to navigate your screen. We will introduce a range of methods for handcrafting textile input devices. Participants will learn techniques developed by the workshop leaders and will also be encouraged to use our materials library to design their own custom mice. The goal of the workshop is to familiarize participants with available electronic textile materials, to introduce them to a variety of sensor and circuitry construction techniques and get people thinking about different interfaces that allow you interact differently with everyday technology.

Handcrafting textile interfaces from a kit-of-no-parts
TEI '11: Proceedings of the fifth international conference on Tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction

This paper explores the idea of handcrafted electronics. We introduce a kit-of-no-parts approach to building electronics from a diverse palette of craft materials, which we argue is more personal, understandable and accessible than the construction of ...
Helping older adults locate 'lost' cursors using FieldMouse
ASSETS '10: Proceedings of the 12th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibility

This paper describes how a standard optical mouse was augmented by the addition of a touch sensor inside the body of the mouse. When the mouse is released and subsequently touched it generates a Windows message which can then be used to execute an ...
Cursor relocation techniques to help older adults find 'lost' cursors
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Older adult computer users often lose track of the mouse cursor and so resort to methods such as mouse shaking or searching the screen to find the cursor again. Hence, this paper describes how a standard optical mouse was modified to include a touch ...
