Design Thinking for Human Interaction with Flexible Electronics

Abstract

With increasing demand of better human-machine interaction with electronic devices, a flexible form factor in these devices is key for transparency in connection between human and machine. A variety of new approaches for human-machine interaction are available. These include voice, gesture, eye motion, brain wave and so on. Flexible electronics technologies could be key to enhance interaction with the human. To achieve a better intuitional connection, a design thinking approach is essential. This paper will review key factors to adopt this design thinking approach for flexible electronics.
