The dream of every designer and user of wearables is a fully integrated, silent, flexible and comfortable haptic actuator. This dream could possibly be fullfilled by textile actuators. Actuating textiles could potentially be excellent candidates for haptic wearables due to their unobtrusive characteristics. Integrating haptic actuators, for example electroactive yarns, into different types of textile structures could give varying types of haptic stimuli on the skin. The type of stimulus depends on yarn properties, fabric morphology and actuation control. The vision of textile haptic actuators requires a strong relationship between user research as well as knowledge in textile aspects regarding integration, production and how textile constructions affect haptic perception. Therefore, we investigate textile aspects in parallel with perception towards the use of textile as a haptic actuator. We explore ways to integrate different actuating yarns in various textile constructions and study the resulting haptic behavior. Haptic textiles consist of both yarns that actuate and traditional passive yarns. Therefore, an additional understanding of the interaction between passive yarns and haptic actuators and a possible influence on the perception of haptic stimuli could be gained. The perception of haptic behavior can be consistently studied with participants by integrating different actuating yarns in the configuration of a textile sleeve. We will also perform experiments with substitute materials, to find the necessary properties a haptic textile should have in order to present perceivable stimuli to possible users.
