Pratte, S., Hoover, S., Tang, A., and Oehlberg, L. (2022). nLITEn: A Wearables Toolkit for Enabling Creativity in Fashion Technology Design. In CHI22 Workshop: Toolkits & Wearables - Developing Toolkits for Exploring Wearable Designs.

Abstract

The nLITEn toolkit is designed to lower barriers to technology and enable creativity in fashion-tech designers during their design process. The toolkit comprises durable, quick connecting components and a small custom-designed board installed with Bekonix OS. With nLITEn, designers can explore the effects of the technology in their garments without losing time in creativity.
