Lara Grant just graduated through the Interactive Telecommunications Plan at NYU in which she virtually crafted out her private area of interest in "wearable solutions."
"It's not a genuine important,
Office Professional Plus 2010 Key, just my curiosity," the 28-year-old Brooklyn resident explains.
Her thesis,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, Soft Sensors, fuses the digital entire world with bodily experience by designing computer controls out of felt. With so much nervousness about an increasingly digital existence, her project refreshingly points out the potential for undeniably warm and fuzzy interfaces. Using soft circuitry,
Office Standard 2007 Key, Grant created an array of felt housings that—when stretched, squeezed, prodded or poked—change the electronic resistance which feeds into a laptop.
Possible applications are varied and aren't limited to just one field—ideas include video game controllers and reactive costumes triggered by a the movements of the wearer (modeled here by Lindsey Marcelle Case).
"There is a lot more exploration to do and these techniques from this venture can be used in many different arenas," she says.
Grant, who has six years practical knowledge as a fashion and textile designer,
Microsoft Office 2010 Standard, sees Soft Sensors as only the beginning for what could be a new field of digital interfaces.
"The four felt sensors in this task is not the end to the means either,
Office 2010 Home And Student Key, they are simply the body I found suitable as a first introduction to the techniques used to create them with."
