What is a conversation like between a handbag and a scarf? How can you mediate their conversation and when is your skirt allowed in on the discussion? As a woman is about to leave her house, her handbag may solicit the weather forecast from the humidity sensor on its fellow smart curtain. It might deliver the news of an impending downpour by saying "I think it might rain. Go get your umbrella." And after deliberating with her coat pocket, the handbag may use ambient light to caution the user if she's forgotten her cell phone.
cimtec Pietro Vincenzini - General Chair (cimtec) ongoing electronics, smart textiles, conferences, event
Intensive research carried out worldwide for creating higher forms of materials, structures and systems by providing them with “life” functions, resulted in a relatively high level of technology readiness with several applications now emerging, demonstrating that smart materials technologies have matured well beyond the conceptual stage. Widespread use of nanotechnology concepts and tools and availability of multiscale computational models coupled with the exponential growth of computing capability and the merging of materials science and engineering with biological information, are fuelling the rate of advancement of the field. Nevertheless further substantial developments are required in the understanding of convergences of materials, electronics and biological systems, to meet relevant needs for present and foreseeable applications. The several Symposia featured by CIMTEC 2012 - 4th International Conference “Smart Materials, Structures and Systems” will cover outstanding areas of the subject from the molecular nanoscales to large complex integrated systems. The Conference Committees are pleased to invite you to foster progress in the field by contributing to discussions within the frames of what promises to be an exciting meeting, and to enjoy the immense, unique, artistic heritage and wonderful landscape of Tuscany.
CREATE10-innovative interactions Ingi Helgason conference
The blend of thought and practice that the CREATE conference wants to encourage was nicely summed up recently by interaction designer, Jack Schulze: "No one cares about what you think, unless you do what you think. No one cares what you do, unless you think about what you do." Our past conferences have been well received for providing a friendly and informal setting where networking, discussion and practical work are high on the agenda.
E-Textile Workspace Piem Wirtz, Melissa Coleman (V2_) makers, community, platform, discussion, workshop, workspace, e-textile,
The E-Textile Workspace offers an informal setting for critical discussion around wearable technology. It aims to open a space where practice is intertwined with knowledge sharing, feedback exchange among the invited participants and with critical reflection on the state-of-the-art in wearable technology.
International Conference, Ghent Universiteit Ghent-Department of Textiles 2009 new technologies, new applications, new developments, advanced fibre, International Conference, Department of Textiles, Ghent University, industries, designers, discussions, nanofibres, electrospinning, smart textiles, medical textiles, innovative advanced textiles, textile conference, safety and protective textiles, biobased textiles, nanocomposites, advanced fibre reinforced composites, artificial turf
The International Conference on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Department of Textiles at Ghent University is a comprehensive event for all fibre and textile actors. The conference will be co-organized with the International Conference on Textile and Polymer Biotechnology, two Cost Actions and several workshops. Attendees will have the opportunity to get informed on the latest research trends, and opportunities and limits of new innovations when implementing them in industry.
Material Beliefs (Interaction research Studio, Department of Design at Goldsmiths, University of London) biomedical, cybernetic, public space, body, Goldsmiths
Material Beliefs takes emerging biomedical and cybernetic technology out of labs and into public spaces. The project focuses on technologies which blur the boundaries between our bodies and materials, and how design as a tool for public engagement can be used to stimulate discussion about the value of these forms of hybridity
