Our goal is to make Jacquard’s capabilities widely accessible to the global community of developers and, in doing so, demonstrate a handful of its untapped capabilities/applications to encourage a hacker culture around it. Thus, we are building a developer friendly iOS toolkit for easily interfacing with the Jacquard technology, introducing new gestures that leverage the ability to discern variable applied pressure as a second dimension for user input, and physically exporting the Jacquard swatch to a backpack strap to showcase a versatile usage of intelligent fabric. And of course, a huge thank you to our mentor, Thad Starner, for all his help each step of the way!
