Electro-Luminescent Fibers, weaved in to a textile
videos
A simple modulating pulse loop on some electro-luminescent fibre. It's really more of a cord than a fiber, quite thick, but this is all we have to work with right now. It starts looking nice when it hits the .01 second area.
Matrix pressure sensitive fabric.
videos
Matrix pressure sensitive fabric. It simulates the functioning of a resistive touch screen. It can be produced transparent.

Analog Textile Sensor (Stretch)
videos

This is a small experiment using fabric with conductive fibers (steel/acrylic : 30/70), acts as a variable resistor, changing input data to a BX-Basic micro-controller based on how much or how little it is stretched

Check out this cool new technology Philips is showcasing at IFA 2006 in Berlin. It's amazing! They are integrating LEDs into fabric and had some jackets and a couch there.
Kukkia & Vilkas: kinetic electronic garments
videos
The Kukkia and Vilkas video describes our first experiment in kinetic garments. We have integrated the shape memory alloy Nitinol in textile substrates to create Kukkia and Vilkas, two animated dresses that move or change shape over time, using resistive heating and control electronics.

Shape Memory Textiles
videos
Designer Mariëlle Leenders has experimented with fabric that features shape memory wire either woven into the material or added later as one or more lines of stitching. Her Moving Textiles (2000) react to differences in temperature by shrinking, creasing, changing structure or rolling up. Lines of stitching added to the basic material in certain places cause the fabric to creep up when temperatures rise.

EuroNews - Futuris - Technology soon be ready to wear
videos

Putting computer software into clothes and clothing accessories, scientists in the field of so-called 'wearable' technology are developing devices for both professional and domestic use. This week's Futuris looks at projects in Ireland and Germany that aim to bring us the wonders of multi-tasking.

Smart Textile Band, ETH
videos

In the Wearable Computing Laboratory at ETH Zürich, we want to weave eletronics directly into textiles. Here is our first demonstrator, showing woven LEDs in a textile band.

Pressure Sensor Matrices
videos

These are two examples of how the Fabric Pressure Sensor principle can be stitched to form a matrix of individual sensors.

The larger purple example has the individual sensors, which cover 1cm2 spaced every other cm2.

The smaller white example has the 1cm2 individual sensors spaced right next to each other, every cm2.

Conductive Elastomer Fabric Sensing Glove
videos

The CE glove prototype is wearable unobtrusive device able to detect human hand gesture, posture and movement. It is made of piezoresistive and elastic sensors directly printed on fabrics. Sensor and interconnections are made with the same elastic material, thus keeping unmodified the mechanical properties of the fabric itself. The prototype is light and flexible and can be wear from the users for a long time with no discomfort.

SysTex Student Award Submission

A Report About my Work Within Intelligent Textiles

My name is Laura Wilson and I would like to share my unique vision of the future for smart technologies. I am a textiles student who is determined to redefine public opinions on wearable technologies towards a more accessible public availability from the ‘concept pieces’ seen in galleries, towards more public availability.
