SeamSleeve provides a method for using garment seams as sensing channels while retaining the benefits of regular clothing design. Conductive seams powered at low voltages stitch together everyday fabric panels, resulting in a novel sensing mechanism capable of enabling everyday motion capture. We identify optimal seam design and placement on the sleeve, and demonstrate that our approach is capable of successfully classifying arm exercises, supporting longitudinal physiotherapeutic rehabilitation beyond the clinic.
