Abstract

Abstract : A wearable keyboard is demonstrated in which conducting polymer electrodes on a knitted textile sense tactile input as changes in capacitance. The use of a knitted textile as a substrate endows stretchability and compatibility to large‐area formats, paving the way for a new type of wearable human−machine interface.
