ABSTRACT
While shopping online for textiles from a mobile device, we face the perceptual gap between qualities we can perceive via the interface and those we sense when handling the real textile product. In this research I first investigate the qualities that people look for when interacting with textiles. Further, I examine the gestures people commonly use to handle fabrics, and I propose a way to imitate them on a mobile device. Finally, I prototype touch-screen interactive-video interfaces and assess best practice.

Interactivity to enhance perception: does increased interactivity in mobile visual presentation tools facilitate more accurate rating of textile properties?
MobileHCI '11: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesAs part of the EPSRC funded 'Digital Sensoria' project a set of digital tools were utilised to better demonstrate the tactile qualities of textiles via the internet. Shoogleit [8], an online utility for the creation of interactive video was one such ...
Patching Textiles: Insights from Visible Mending Educators on Wearability, Extending the Life of Our Clothes, and Teaching Tangible Crafts
C&C '21: Proceedings of the 13th Conference on Creativity and CognitionTextiles have several characteristics that make them well suited for updates, sometimes called patching or mending, but textile repair is underexplored in the context of personal fabrication. This exploration is an urgent sustainability issue so we can ...

HCII'11: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Human-computer interaction: interaction techniques and environments - Volume Part IIWhile mobile devices have allowed people to carry out various computing and communication tasks everywhere, it has generally lacked the support for task execution while the user is in motion. This is because the interaction schemes of most mobile ...
