    An Intuitive Textile Input Controller
    (Mensch und Computer 2015 – Proceedings, 2015) Heller, Florian; Lee, Hyun-Young {Kriz}; Brauner, Philipp; Gries, Thomas; Ziefle, Martina; Borchers, Jan
    When thinking of textile interfaces, these are often imagined as being integrated into clothing. While this is the most prominent use of fabric, we present a standalone interface that builds on the natural set of interactions a piece of fabric affords, and that is feasible for industrial production. By integrating stitched patterns made of conductive thread into a square piece of fabric, we are able to sense established connections within this pattern and map these to a model how the cloth is folded. An integrated microcontroller tracks these connections and communicates them as two-dimensional continuous value changes to a host application. We present the technical construction of our prototype, a particular clip-on technique to establish the connection between fabric and electronics, and first insights into recognizing different grip gestures.

    Gardeene! Textile Controls for the Home Environment
    (Mensch und Computer 2016 - Tagungsband, 2016) Heller, Florian; Oßmann, Lukas; Hamdan, Nur; Brauner, Philipp; Van Heek, Julia; Scheulen, Klaus; Möllering, Christian; Goßen, Laura; Witsch, Rouven; Ziefle, Martina; Gries, Thomas; Borchers, Jan
    Textile controls so far, have mostly been envisioned to be integrated to clothing. In our environment, however, much more textile interaction surfaces are available. In this paper, we present a capacitive textile sensor, seamlessly integrated into a motorized curtain. While the basic functionality is simply to open and close the curtain, its design allows a much richer gestural interaction.
