My reading concerns a project by Daniela Rosner and Kimiko Ryokai that attempts to weave something of the process of making a handcrafted object such as a knit into the fabric of the knit itself. More specifically, Rosner and Ryokai wants to weave the memories in the form of audio, visual as well as [...]

In Proceedings of the Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp), ACM Press (2011), 227-236. Ways of Sensing This paper is not really about sensors at all, at least not what we think of when we [...]
Timothée Boitouzet and Sara Hendren Fiber optic bend sensors blend the powerful transmission properties of optical fibers with multiple sensing capabilities. Through detectable changes in the longitudinal bend of the fiber shaft, these sensors can track changes in strain, pressure, and more—and can sense multiple properties at once in their multi-modal form. Their small size [...]
