Machine learning makes fabric buttons practical
- Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed machine learning-optimized fabric buttons for wearable interfaces.
- These fabric buttons are triboelectric touch sensors that measure the force exerted on them by detecting the energy between two layers of opposite charges.
- Physical consistency is difficult to achieve with fabric buttons, so the researchers used machine learning to interpret sensor readings and differentiate between different interactions.
- The machine learning model could recognize patterns even if the exact readings varied, making it practical to integrate fabric buttons into inexpensive garments for user interaction with devices.
