Weaving Textile-form Interfaces

I am very excited to present the research I have been working on together with Holly McQuillan, Milou Voorwinden and Elvin Karana.

What is a Woven Textile-form Interface?

A woven textile-form is a form that is constructed simultaneously as the textile is woven (McQuillan, 2020). Interfaces designed with this approach hold undisclosed potential for rich interactions. However, the design of woven textile-form interfaces requires specialised tacit knowledge, which is limited even in craft and practice spaces; and it is therefore inaccessible to HCI designers.

To bridge this gap, in this gap, we present the material-driven journey of a multidisciplinary team to design a woven textile-form interface (which we call Deployable Interface) using various techniques such as paper models and diagrams to design for multi-layer weaving.
