Laytex

Textile sensor layouts are often created through repeated garment prototyping and individual experience, which makes it difficult to compare layouts systematically or adapt them to different bodies and movements. Laytex asks how body-surface deformation data can become a practical design language for textile motion-sensing garments. It connects body shape, target movement, deformation features, sensor number, and sensor length in one visual workflow, so designers can identify deformation hotspots, compare coverage and redundancy, and translate a selected layout into a garment prototype.
