SmartSleeve: Real-time Sensing of Surface and Deformation Gestures on Flexible, Interactive ...
summary
A soft textile sleeve with 360 resistive sensors (1.6 sensors/in²) and 0.15 mm sewn enamel wire measures 50–500 g forces and uses zig‑zag stitch to preserve flexibility. Crosstalk is reduced to <1% by adding fixed column resistors. A hybrid pipeline converts frames to force images, classifies with SVM (92% same‑location, 87% across locations) and derives 13 more gestures with heuristics (overall 84%). Examples include Twist for rotational control and Twist+Push for state change.
