In article number 1802629, Mathias Kolle and co-workers report stretchable optical fibers produced from thermoplastic elastomers using scalable co-extrusion procedures. Mechanical deformation of these fibers induces predictable and reversible changes in their light transmission. The fibers are used in wireless sensing devices integrated into knee braces and gloves to quantify body kinematics, and to control a virtual hand model.
