Because humans have a slight electric charge in their bodies, any touch on a conductive thread could be interpreted as a signal to a wearable device to respond in a certain way. For instance, a shirt with conductive threads and lights, as well as a small [[Physical prototyping (EdTech)|microcontroller]] can be programmed to light up with small lights sewn into the clothing when someone touches the shirt&#039;s sleeves. <br /> <br /> Wearable technologies are a fun way for learners within an educational setting to create a project or design practical or fashionable clothing or wearable products to meet a design challenge or serve some practical purpose. Clothing is something that everyone (typically) wears every day, so it is a commonplace set of items with which people can be quite creative. Thus, electronic-embedded clothing, wearable devices, or e-textiles are a useful set of creative tools for educators looking for engaging activities for participants in educational settings, particularly with [[Problem-based learning (PBL) and scenario-based learning (SBL)|problem-based]] and [[project-based learning]] approaches. <br /> <br /> Wearable and textile technologies are highly related to [[Physical prototyping (EdTech)|physical prototyping and microcontroller programming]] technologies in their capacity to allow people to create usable, interactive products. <br /> <br /> ===== Common types of wearable technologies functions and sensors that can be integrated into clothing: =====<br /> <br /> * eTextiles and conductive threads, which allow for human touch to be an input, or to carry an electrical signal or power to components throughout the clothing<br /> * Outputs that people can interact with, such as lights, speakers, vibration, displays<br /> * Pressure sensors<br /> * Switches and buttons<br /> * Environmental data sensors, such as light sensors, temperature sensors, cameras, microphones<br /> * Proximity and movement sensors and detection (electromagnetic detection, bluetooth, near field communciation, RFID). <br /> <br /> Back to [[Educational technology|educational technology &gt;&gt;]]</div>
