In the last semester I have worked in physical computing class on my smart knitting needles.
For this class, I would like to continue developing my needles in the process to become a working product.
When the pandemic has started no one imagines that we will have to switch to an online studying system. The limitation of learning through a screen stands even more when you are learning physical techniques. As a former student of Textile and an instructor of knitting it was clear to me that we need to think of a system that will integrate the craft with the technology.
This project evolves with the connection between three dimensional fabric and the two dimensional form to read it. The needles can sense the fabric you create while you do it and see the technical drawing of it on the computer screen. In these difficult times and as for the visual people we are, this could be an excellent way to develop our learning methods and for student and instructors to communicate in a better way.
Besides developing the physical needles and continuing the development of the electronic parts, I would like to explore the visuality of the technical drawing - the system.
By using the server side which calles backend maybe I can send some feedback to the student that is knitting. The system of communicating between the backend and the frontend will allow me to add some studying features that will give exercise, detect how well you did and help with the learning process. I think that this could also help the instructor and the learning method.
