From a holistic perspective, this handbook explores the design, development and production of smart textiles and textile electronics, breaking with the traditional silo-structure of smart textile research and development. Leading experts from different domains including textile production, electrical engineering, interaction design and human-computer interaction HCI address production processes in their entirety by exploring important concepts and topics like textile manufacturing, sensor and actuator development for textiles, the integration of electronics into textiles and the interaction with textiles. In addition, different application scenarios, where smart textiles play a key role, are presented too. Smart Textiles would be an ideal resource for researchers, designers and academics who are interested in understanding the overall process in creating viable smart textiles.

Fab Labs began with the modest goal of expanding access to digital fabrication; we never expected to grow exponentially, reaching more than 1, Fab Labs, worldwide. As the small network started to grow we began to meet annually. By the time we reached FAB10, in Barcelona in , it was clear that something big was happening. By then, the team that co-founded the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia which is home to Barcelona's pioneering first Fab Lab had become part of the leadership running the city.

All the girls were mocked by the surrounding sisters. By Wednesday night Maureen was naturally apprehensive. What sort of humiliation was in store. She and others met at the deserted gym for what turned out to be a game of dodge ball against eight brothers from the Kappa Beta fraternity. The rules were simple: get hit by a ball and you were "out" -- out to receive a smack with a paddle and lose one article of clothing before being reinserted into the game.
