Materials–Based Research Grant
2020
This project builds on the soft, 3-dimensional structures of knitting for creating on-skin interfaces that change shape and location. Applications for these knitted on-skin interfaces include self-shifting protective padding for when engaging in high impact activities or an interactive brace for hip and knee surgery rehabilitation. Bridging craft and technology, we create interfaces that are functional as well as aesthetically expressive.
