Abstract
Measurement apparatus includes an elastic fabric, configured as a garment to be worn over a part of a body of a human subject. One or more conductive fibers are integrated with the elastic fabric to as to stretch together with the elastic fabric when worn over the part of the body. A controller is coupled to measure a change in an electrical property of the one or more conductive fibers in response to stretching of the elastic fabric, and to output an indication of a dimension of the part of the body based on the measured change.
Claims27
Measurement apparatus, comprising:
- an elastic fabric, configured as a garment to be worn over a part of a body of a human subject;
- one or more conductive fibers, integrated with the elastic fabric to as to stretch together with the elastic fabric when worn over the part of the body;
- and
- a controller, which is coupled to measure a change in an inductance of the one or more conductive fibers in response to stretching of the elastic fabric, and to output an indication of a dimension of the part of the body based on the measured change.

A method for fitting, comprising:
- providing a garment comprising an elastic fabric configured to be worn over a part of a body of a human subject and to output electronically an indication of a dimension of the part of the body in response to a change in an inductance of one or more conductive fibers that are integrated with the elastic fabric due to stretching of the elastic fabric when worn over the part of the body;
- receiving the indication of the dimension from the garment;
- and
- identifying, responsively to the dimension of the part of the body, one or more articles of clothing of a suitable size to be worn by the human subject.
