Product Description

Synopsis

The ElectroTextiles company was set up in 1998 to research and develop smart fabrics. This text explores the qualities of ElekTex; a lightweight, durable, flexible and cost competitive technology. It's primary goal is to offer a soft alternative to the hard edged character so often a trait of contemporary electronic product design. Through photographs and diagrams the work demonstrates the possibility of this product as related to keyboards and remote controls. It highlights opportunities in developing contoured and portable products for both existing and emerging product markets. The ability to dispense with fixed casings, rigid mountings and inflexible substrates opens up radically new possibilities in flexible, user-friendly interfacing.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book about new technology and design, 23 Feb 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Fabrications (Hardcover)

The subject of this book is industrial design's application of a new technolgy known as electro textile which is similar to a flexible circuit board; only this one is touch sensitive, can be put in the wash, and wearable. The book details a range of products designed by Ideo for Eleksen (the company that makes the material). The layout and pictures are very well taken and descriptions are clear. All in all this is a great look at what design can do for new technologies to make them much more friendly and useful for the user.
