For the initial proof of concept for making the children’s fabric book, we will be trying to create a list of selected sensors and conduct tests with the results. It will be a more technical prototyping stage and these prototypes will help us decide which of the input means fit the most with the responses, materials and story narrative.
Along with the different materials, we want to attempt make the following sensors and reliable data processing/filtering for possible applications:
- bend sensors
- squeeze sensors(using bend sensors)
- stroke sensors
- pressure sensors
