We investigated data embroidery with black-and-white textures, identifying challenges in the use of textures for machine embroidery based on our own experience. Data embroidery, as a method of physically representing data, offers a unique way to integrate personal data into one's everyday fabric-based objects. Owing to their monochromatic characteristics, black-and-white textures promise to be easy to employ in machine embroidery. We experimented with different textured visualizations designed by experts and, in this paper, we detail our workflow and evaluate the performance and suitability of different textures. We then conducted a survey on vegetable preferences within a family and created a canvas bag as a case study, featuring the embroidered family data to show how embroidered data can be used in practice.
翻译:我们基于自身经验,探究了使用黑白纹理进行数据刺绣的方法,并识别了将纹理应用于机器刺绣时所面临的挑战。数据刺绣作为一种物理化呈现数据的方式,为将个人数据融入日常织物制品提供了独特途径。由于黑白纹理具有单色特性,因此有望在机器刺绣中轻松应用。我们针对专家设计的多种纹理可视化方案进行了实验,并在本文中详细阐述了工作流程,评估了不同纹理的性能与适用性。随后,我们针对家庭内部的蔬菜偏好开展了一项调研,并以帆布袋为案例进行创作,通过刺绣呈现家庭数据,展示了刺绣数据在实践中的具体应用。
