Our 3rd paper explores Unraveling and (de)fabrication of Machine-Knit Textile Tapestries. Check it out here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36890…
Our second paper is about E-Serging: Exploring the Use of Overlockers (Sergers) in Creating E-Textile Seams and Interactive Yarns for Garment Making. Check it out here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36890…
Our first paper is about Interactive Bobbin Lace: Metal Thread History, Interviews with Lacemakers, and Material Explorations with E-textiles. Check it out here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36890…
Team iStudio is at Bordeaux, France presenting our latest #TEI2025 research on digital fabrication and *Smart Textiles* (mixing traditional craft with technology) at @tei_conf International Conference by postdoc, grad, and undergrad researchers funded by @NSERC_CRSNG @queensu
We were invited today to the First Peoples Innovation Centre in Quebec, where Prof. @SaraKhNabil gave an e-textiles workshop at the #Feminin #FabLab program this week!

Now, the general public can reflect on their #data while #transparently being displayed on #exhibition at the @OttawaArtG Art Gallery in collaboration with researchers at @iStudio_Lab @QueensComputing @QUartsci

We needed to invent new ways of data visualization #dataviz to help understand, contextualize, and analyze the data of our interactive space.
A knitted bar chart?
Our interactive exhibition used motion sensors and a circular knitting machine to fabricate a row of yarn for each visitor in the @OttawaArtG. The pendamic months were quiet, but then, data started piling up, quite literally!
Our research addresses when interaction within the physical space produces tangible evidence that can be displayed, admired, and reflected on!

The 1st publ is a collab between @QueensECE Aiim's lab led by @Ali_Etemad1 & @QueensComputing iStudio led by @SaraKhNabil to make car sensors using #e_textiles embedded into the vehicle's fabric for eyefree media control safer than multi-touch screens:
