Fabric of Digital Life is a cultural analytics database that tracks the emergence of embodied computing. site ![]()
Fabric of Digital Life Archive is inspired by a famous prediction made by Chief Scientist at Xerox Parc, Mark Weiser, in 1991: “The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it”. We are beginning to see a critical mass of early inventions working toward this end and one goal for Fabric is to reflect this phenomenon.

Since 2013, Fabric of Digital Life has provided a means to track the emergence of platforms of human-computer interaction (HCI), also called personal technologies, through the language of invention: inventors’ concepts, entrepreneurial adventures, science fiction films, art, events, military innovation, video games, government ambitions, patents, news broadcasts, blogs, and advertising.
