The Joint Pressure Sleeve gains movement interactions — After several weeks of expanding on the physical form of Joint Pressure Sleeve, it was now time to focus on the user interaction with the device. The goal for this week’s exploration was centered around creating movements and gestures in contexts where our wearable device would be used. Background Going into…

A revisit to the original Joint Pressure Sleeve — The next medium that we would be exploring for our class was fabric, particularly the use of sewing to either create a new or redesign an IoT device that we already made in previous weeks. …
