Thermo-variable Pattern TEK-TILE

A thermochromic dye makes fabric respond to heat by turning white. Digitally-controlled heaters sewn into the material then allow the overall pattern to be controlled by a computer.

One application is in augmented reality. The pattern can be tracked in space by a device's camera to allow digital graphics to be overlaid. By varying the pattern a garment can then communicate with devices using it for augmented reality effects.

TEK-TILES is a project from the Brooklyn Fashion and Design Accelerator to develop examples of new textile technologies.

Questions

How big is the Thermal AR Tile PCB?

It measures 69.2 × 40.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Thermal AR Tile use?

15 parts, built around the PSMN022-30PL. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Thermal AR Tile KiCad files?

From the bkaccelerator/thermo-variable-pattern-tek-tile repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/PCBs/Thermal AR Tile/Thermal AR Tile.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Thermal AR Tile design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask bkaccelerator before reusing the design.
