Crafting Wearables
Enter the exciting intersection of technology and fashion known as wearable computing. Learn about the future of electronics in clothing and textiles, and be a part of creating that future! Crafting Wearables begins with the history of the field, then covers current practices and future trends. You will gain deeper insight into the strategy behind the design of wearable devices while learning about the tools and materials needed to start your own wearables toolbox. In a time when consumer electronics are becoming smaller and seamlessly integrated into our lives, it is important to understand how technology can improve and augment your lifestyle. Wearables are in a sense the most organic and ...
On the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Legal Perspectives from Germany and South Africa
Based on collaboration between the law faculties of the University of Augsburg and the University of Johannesburg, this book focuses on legal developments relating to the Fourth Industrial Revolution in South Africa and Germany (and the European Union more broadly). Written in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has given impetus to digital and other technology-driven innovations, it pays particular attention to the aspects of digitalisation, artificial intelligence and data protection in various contexts, including international sales law, labour law, medical law and environmental law. The chapters reflect critically on legal and other developments to determine their appropriatene...
E-Textiles in Libraries
From light-up scarves to solar-powered backpacks to health monitoring fabric, innovative combinations of electronics and textiles are becoming more prevalent and impressive all the time, making appearances everywhere from the runway to medical settings. In the near future, these wearable technologies will be a standard part of daily life. E-textiles, including soft circuits, conductive fabrics, and sewable electronics, may not be familiar to all library patrons now, but the way that e-textile projects combine STEM topics with fun, familiar crafts make them popular for library programs, interesting to diverse groups, and a great tool for teaching new skills and techniques. Best of all, e-text...
Make: Wearable Electronics
This will be an update to the first book, focusing more on physical computing than on craft, designing and implementing new interfaces that are intended for the human form. This book explains how sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators can be incorporated into clothing to create wearable interactive systems.
Playful Wearables
An expert introduction to the world of “playful wearables” and their design, with a wide range of engaging examples, case studies, and exercises. This pioneering introduction to the world of wearable technology takes readers beyond the practical realm (think Fitbits, Apple Watches, and smartglasses) to consider another important side of the technology—the playful. Playful Wearables offers an engaging account of what “playful wearables” are, why they matter, how they work, how they’re made, and what their future might hold. The book’s authors draw on decades of experience in design, development, and research to offer real-world examples, exercises, and implications, showing how ...
The Routledge Companion to Fashion Studies
This collection of original essays interrogates disciplinary boundaries in fashion, gathering fashion studies research across disciplines and from around the globe. Fashion and clothing are part of material and visual culture, cultural memory, and heritage; they contribute to shaping the way people see themselves, interact, and consume. For each of the volume’s eight parts, scholars from across the world and a variety of disciplines offer analytical tools for further research. Never neglecting the interconnectedness of disciplines and domains, these original contributions survey specific topics and critically discuss the leading views in their areas. They include discursive and reflective pieces, as well as discussions of original empirical work, and contributors include established leaders in the field, rising stars, and new voices, including practioner and industry voices. This is a comprehensive overview of the field, ideal not only for undergraduate and postgraduate fashion studies students, but also for researchers and students in communication studies, the humanities, gender and critical race studies, social sciences, and fashion design and business.
Digital Narrative Spaces
There is a broad consensus that digital narrative is "spatial," but what this critical term means and how it is used varies greatly depending on the discipline from which it is approached. Digital Narrative Spaces brings together essays by prominent scholars in electronic literature and other forms of digital authorship to explore the relationship between story and space across these disciplines. This volume includes an introduction with Marie-Laure Ryan’s typology of space, followed by thought-provoking individual chapters which explore innovative explorations of electronic literature, locative media, literary tourism, and the mapping of real-world literary spaces. The collection closes with an essay analyzing continuities and discontinuities in theory of space across the chapters. This volume will provide an important framework for establishing a dialogue across disciplines and future scholarship in these fields.
Intiimin kosketus
Vaate ei ole vain vaate, vaan linkki minän, muiden ja ympäröivän maailman välillä, tietyssä ajassa ja paikassa. Intiimin kosketus on kirja suomalaisesta nykymuodista ja kansainvälisestä muodintutkimuksesta. Teoksessa pohditaan kehon ja muodin intiimiä suhdetta eri näkökulmista: muotia identiteetin ilmaisun välineenä, vaatesuunnittelijan omien kehokokemusten merkitystä muotoilutyössä sekä muodin osaksi tullutta puettavaa teknologiaa, joka tuottaa tietoa käyttäjänsä kehon toiminnoista. Kirja kertoo myös siitä, miten muoti on aina osa ympäröivää yhteiskuntaa ja kulttuuria. Kuten yhteiskunta, myös muotisuunnittelu medioituu, digitalisoituu ja dataistuu, ja sosiaalise...
Practical Fashion Tech
Pull back the curtain on making fun and innovative costumes and accessories incorporating technologies like low-cost microprocessors, sensors and programmable LEDs. Fashion tech can require skills in design, pattern-making, sewing, electronics, and maybe 3D printing. Besides the tech skills, making a good costume or accessory also requires knowledge of the intangibles of what makes a good costume. This book is a collaboration between two technologists and a veteran teacher, costumer, and choreographer. Regardless of whether you are coming at this from the theater costuming, sewing, or electronics side, the authors will help you get started with the other skills you need. More than just a boo...
