Sensors and computing systems in smart clothing

Abstract: ‘Wearable electronics’ embodies the convergence of mobile, personal and wireless communications technologies, with emerging textile, fibre and polymer based components. This chapter provides a summary of sensors and output devices used within wearable applications along with examples of their usage. It also describes the underlying principles of contemporary computer architecture and some of the challenges faced by wearable technology designers. The chapter is aimed primarily at those new to the field of wearable electronics, especially clothing and interaction designers.
