Gauri Nanda Quotations

We were motivated by a desire to design a system for anyone to both build with fabric in a way similar to playing with Lego and create objects that are rich with relevant context-aware computation without having to program,

Using this computer means handling soft pieces of fabric that can be ripped apart and put together with Velcro. All the technological complexities are hidden in the design and the fabric can only be connected in one way.

The danger with pervasive computing is that difficult-to-use devices are infiltrating our lives in a way that are not natural to the way we interact,

Our approach is to put relevant applications inside everyday things such as our clothes and bags, hiding the technology and keeping the design simple yet user-configurable.
