Abstract

Inspired by the breathing function of plant leaves to facilitate gas exchange, we aim to design shape changing clothing to maintain the wearing comfort under different body states. On the basis of the nature phenomena of the stomata opening, we propose a retractable structure with comfort sensitive actuator. The proposed device is composed of a temperature and humidity sensor, a servomotor, and a driving wire. When the values of clothing humidity reach outside the comfort zone, the proposed system can open or close the clothing hole structure accordingly. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed system, we compare the performance of a wearer in running condition with and without this system. It is verified that the proposed shape changing clothing is valid for maintaining the wearing comfort in daily activities.

CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Thermal feedback is a new area of research in HCI and, as such, there has been very little investigation of the impact of environmental factors on its use for interaction. To address this shortcoming we conducted an experiment to investigate how ambient ...
