Stretchy and with built-in sensing capability, interactive surfaces that act like fabric are being developed by Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury (UC) Computer Science and Software Engineering Lecturer Dr. Aluna Everitt.
She developed the original prototype during a research visit to Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada and is now exploring how it could be improved and potentially used in the physiotherapy and health care fields.
"I'm hoping to create a device that can be easily worn on the body and even attached to clothing. I'm currently exploring how it can be applied to applications in the"Often people having physiotherapy will do their exercises correctly when they're in the physio appointment but it can be difficult to keep doing them properly once they get home. This device might be able to help people perform their exercises correctly without the need for physio supervision.
