Smart Wearables II
This course combines invited talks and project work. Experts from academia and industry will delve into cutting-edge topics such as biomaterials for smart textiles, advanced fabrication methods, embedded machine learning, extended reality interfaces, and user-centered design for smart wearables and health applications. Students, working in small interdisciplinary groups, can either select from teacher-provided topics or define their own. The project work is designed to align with the themes covered in the invited talks, and each group will receive guidance from a dedicated tutor throughout the course. We encourage collaboration among students from diverse backgrounds, including design and engineering.
Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, students are able to:
- Conduct a user-oriented ideation process and concept generation leading towards the creation of e-textile-based wearable systems.
- Implement prototypes of smart wearables using advanced fabrication and/or machine learning techniques.
- Conduct evaluation of system performance and user experience through user tests.
- Improve team working skills in a multi-disciplinary setup.
