DESCRIPTION

You can see a video recording of this talk online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwnZmJUybY4. You can download the original PowerPoint slide deck with videos here: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~jonf/talks.html Talk Abstract: Advances in electronic textiles (e-textiles), embedded computing, and biometric sensing enable new types of wearable interactive experiences. In this talk, I will introduce three e-textile projects from my research group: BodyVis, Social Fabric Fitness, and ILikeThisShirt.com which explore and push on how computational clothing can be used to facilitate group interaction, provoke self-inquiry, and stimulate introspection. Background: I gave this talk at the National Academy of Science's "DC Art Science Evening Rendezvous" (DASER) at the Keck Center. The evening's theme was "technology and creativity" highlighted by the opening of University of Maryland Computer Science Professor Ben Shneiderman's “Every AlgoRiThm has ART in it: Treemap Art Project.” In addition to Shneiderman and myself, the other speakers included Manuel Lima, a designer, author, researcher, and lecturer, and Jonah Brucker-Cohen, an assistant professor of digital media and networked culture, Lehman College, City University of New York.

Race Deployment Competitive Interactions

“It made me more aware

of our pacing and kept me

more focused on the run.” -G2P2-W

FIELD STUDY RESULTS DATA AWARENESS; ALL (N=52)

“Made me feel like I was pushing

my efforts, which is good.” -G7P8

FIELD STUDY RESULTS MOTIVATION; ALL (N=52)

“Motivated me to go faster than

the pace displayed.” -G7P7

Gold Medal

“It made me run faster

because my performance

was on display.” -R2P1-W

RACE STUDY RESULTS MOTIVATION; WEARERS (N=4)

Potential Dichotomy

Increased motivation

vs. increased anxiety

“Does my heart beat faster when

running vs. reading a book? Why?”

“How does my breathing rate

compare to my classmate’s

and why may this be?”

“How does food travel

through my body?”
