- This paper outlines a creative electronic-textiles approach for design innovation with blind and visually-impaired users. The paper received Best Paper award at a top-rated HCI conference (ACM Creativity and Cognition 2015, acceptance rate 28%). The hands-on making activities were presented as invited workshops at the RNIB, the White Chapel Gallery London and at the Tate Modern, London. The work has influenced ongoing research in accessible making practices with technologies, and also the design of IoT devices for blind users, the role of eTextiles in computational audio, playfulness in co-design and sensory design for dementia care.
