Experimental application of dual environmental sensitivity on interactive textile design

Abstract

This paper presents part of the development of an ongoing textile design research project titled The Creation of Interactive Textiles with Adoption of Environmental Sensitivity. The research attempts to integrate textile design creativity, interactive concepts, human perception theories and textile craftsmanship to create high value contemporary textiles. This paper showcases the process of the experimental trials combining thermo- and photo- sensitivities. The textile works with hybrid reactive property are capable to function as an interactive platform. With reference to the textile pieces created, a more in-depth investigation is proposed as the paper conclusion.
