Interface on the skin: Designing through a user centered approach

Since technological devices become smaller and our devices are more fused with our bodies, the logical next step is that technology will be placeable on our skin. In this thesis the design process towards a useful application of an interface on the skin is described. To get towards this design, several methods are used in the process. To shape...

Electroluminescence, a user-oriented material driven design

The material has several unique properties which make it perfect for application on smart wearables:It emits light, it is paper thin, it is...
