Transforming muscle movements into textured garment Eindhoven designer Jessica Smarsch used digitally captured body movements to inform the raised patterns across the clothes in this fashion collection.To create the shapes of her Constructing Connectivity range, Smarschattached a wireless armband to participants to record their movements and relayed the data through an Arduino circuit board. The information was then fed into a specially developed software programme that visualises the movements as a series of on-screen graphic patterns. By changing their movements, armband-wearers could alter the animated shapes to influence the final patterns, which were downloaded as a series of instructions for a loom.
