CONCEPT
When pressure is applied to the sensor an LED lights up due to the variable "touch" pressure. It uses a conductive fabric in the middle as the sensory layer. Such soft sensors can be created in multiple shapes following the DIY tutorial I made below.
Their applications can be extended to sense body movements, soft robotics and exoskeletons.
