Smart Textiles that Teach: Fabric‐Based Haptic Device Improves the Rate of Motor Learning

People learn motor activities best when they are conscious of their errors and make a concerted effort to correct them. While haptic interfaces can facilitate motor training, existing interfaces are often bulky and do not always ensure post‐training skill retention. Herein, a programmable haptic sle...
