Pluff: Creating intersections between tactile interface devices and fabric-based electronics.

摘要

Pluff is an experiment in using e-textile technology to develop tactile interface devices for video games. The prototype consists of a stuffed animal embedded with sensors and wireless communication that functions as a game controller, and a corresponding game that is played in Flash. Pluff seeks to increase the sophistication of e-textile applications and methods. At the same time, the combination of onscreen content and physical interface create an emotionally engaging experience for the user.
