Smart Cover Interfaces for the e-Vehicles and beyond (Smart Cover) - Project code EFRE1011; Innovation Playground, a playground for prototyping smart surfaces (iPlayground) - Project code EFRE1007 Programme EFRE-FESR 2021-2027

Position: Technologist Institute: Uni. Bolzano
Posted on: 29/04/2026 Deadline: 19/05/2026

Scientific-Disciplinary Group

09/IINF-05 - Information Processing Systems

Description

These projects follow two approaches that will be further developed within Smart Cover Interfaces: (1) 3D smart textiles based on spatial knitting using “intelligent” yarns, enabling new forms of interaction, and (2) the deposition of precious metals onto existing layered textile substrates. The project adopts a holistic approach, covering design, sensor exploration, hardware and software development, and the prototypical implementation of functional systems. The technologist will support research activities using industrial knitting and sewing machines as well as advanced analysis tools (e.g., confocal microscopy) for characterization and quality control. The process spans from concept development to empirical validation and includes a flexible “Idea Space” for co-creation with academic and industry partners
