A novel technology for creating a full-fashioned woven garment on a loom has been developed, which represents a pioneering contribution to textile engineering. The concept of \u0026ldquo;interconnections\u0026rdquo; in a textile structure has been proposed and technology developed to seamlessly route information from sensors or devices in any part of the fabric to another through the yarns in the fabric thus creating a flexible textile-based information infrastructure analogous to the traditional printed circuit board (PCB). This represents true convergence between electronics and textiles giving birth to the new field of electronic or \u0026ldquo;e-textiles.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EReal-world instantiations of the Wearable Motherboard \u0026ndash; for physiological monitoring (medical, sports, and infants) and in-fabric information processing network \u0026ndash; successfully demonstrated the versatility of the design and development methodology. The next generation Wearable Motherboard with integrated sensors and information infrastructure represents the successful realization of the meta-wearable paradigm. It is the bridging catalyst between the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of People (IoP).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Textiles as a Meta-Wearable: Studies on Textiles as an Information Infrastructure"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2019-05-22 16:42:57","changed_gmt":"2019-05-22 16:42:57","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-06-05T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-06-05T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-06-05T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-06-05 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-06-05 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-06-05 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
