I/O Braid: Scalable Touch-Sensitive Lighted Cords Using Spiraling, Repeating Sensing Textiles ...
summary
A braided cord embeds sensing and lighting by spiraling conductive and passive yarns into a spiraling helical sensing matrix that repeats along the length, giving touch, proximity, pinch, roll and grab detection while using only eight conductive lines for sensing and 16 passive yarns available for output. The prototype integrates light-diffusing fiber optics (Versalume Moonlite) and a Cypress PSoC for mutual capacitance scanning; demos show robust rolling and tap gestures and visible flowing light feedback.
