Abstract
In certain examples, methods include directly applying a nanomesh in a substrate-less form, including a multitude of conductive strands connected to a sensing circuit, to a non-rigid portion (e.g., skin) of a user, and causing the multitude of conductive strands to conform to the user portion; and causing output signals to be generated, in response to movement of the user portion and to the multitude of conductive strands stretching, to indicate the movement of the user portion while the nanomesh is secured to or against the user portion. In more particular examples which simplify and provide more accurate sensing measurements, a liquid form of nanomesh is directly applied over the user portion (e.g., spanning multiple moveable user joints) and without a substrate against the user portion, and logic circuitry is trained to interpret motions of the user based on changes in the nanomesh's conductance during the motions.
