TangoHapps: an integrated development environment for smart garments

Published: 07 September 2015 Publication History

Abstract

Smart garments have emerged to a significant research field over the last decades. Despite their potential and increasing industrial interest, the field still faces major challenges, such as the lack of software tools that support their development. Research in this field is mostly being done on hardware technologies such as soft textile sensors and on concrete use cases. In this paper, I introduce TangoHapps, a hybrid text- and visual-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that has the goal to support developers with different backgrounds in the creation of smart garments.
