Intelligent Soft Wearables

Join our workshop @ UbiComp 2025 in Espoo, Finland!

Workshop participation is open to everyone, as long as the venue space allows. We call for three kinds of contributions: interactive demos, experience/reflection reports, and Work in Progress (WiP)/position papers. Accepted demos/reports/papers are not required for attending the workshop.

Human bodies are almost always in contact with soft materials like clothing, for warmth, protection, self-expression, etc. Recent advancements in intelligent soft wearables have augmented these on-body soft objects with computational functions and intelligence with little compromise on the softness and comforts of wearables, allowing prolonged wear. These innovations, which combine advanced soft sensor design, fabrication, and computational power, offer unprecedented opportunities to improve our health, productivity, and overall well-being with monitoring and assistive capabilities. However, the inherent physical properties of soft materials present unique challenges in achieving practical interactions. The complexity of intelligent soft wearables, multiplexing intricate designs, soft materials, flexible electronics, advanced signal processing algorithms, and machine learning models, necessitates collaborative efforts from experts across diverse domains. This workshop aims to bring together interested researchers and practitioners across relevant domains to discuss the challenges and opportunities of intelligent soft wearables.
