Abstract
Innovation in textiles and clothing has embodied various combinations of new and
existing materials to meet conventional needs of comfort and fashion. Interactive and intelligent
textiles are emerging as many new textile materials are being used to form sensors in garments to
intimately interact with the human form. Interactive textiles typically contain sensors located within
a garment to detect physiological functions that are wirelessly connected to digital infrastructure and
application specific software. These devices can be realised in conventional garments and have
scope for application in diverse fields including entertainment, education, sport, military and
medicine. Position and Motion Sensing devices will be discussed for each application, in terms of
the value proposition, performance requirements, regulations, and existing technology. A case study
of an entertainment device that uses limb motion to achieve an imaginary instrument, the Wearable
Instrument Shirt (WIS) will be discussed in this context. The WIS combines a wearable sensor
interface with software to map gestures and audio data files to form an easy-to-use gesture driven
instrument that allows real-time interactive musical performances without any need for significant
instrument or computer skills.
