Abstract

The addition of sensors to wearable computers allows them to adapt their functions to more suit the activities and situation of their wearers. Here a wearable sensor badge is described constructed from (hard) electronic components, which can sense perambulatory activities for context-awareness. A wearable sensor jacket is described that uses advanced knitting techniques to form (soft) fabric stretch sensors positioned to measure upper limb and body movement. Worn on-the-hip, or worn as clothing, these unobtrusive sensors supply abstract information about your current activity to your other wearable computers.
