Title
Interactex: an integrated development environment for smart textiles.
Abstract
Construction kits and development environments have dramatically reduced the time and expertise required for the development of physical interactive devices. The field of smart textiles, however, still lacks of established tools that support their development. In this paper, we introduce Interactex, a visual programming environment specifically designed for smart textiles. Interactex supports different activities related to smart textile development, including application development, testing and circuit design. Interactex's visual programming semantics span across mobile phone and smart textile enabling users to take advantage of capabilities present on both devices without writing source code. We also provide evidence from two user studies that Interactex lowers entrance barrier to smart textile development and facilitates rapid prototyping of smart textiles.
