E-Textiles Come into Style
Computers not only now design cloth but are also being woven into the cloth. Applications for e-textiles range from medicine to the military. Vital signs can monitor both the soldier in action and premature babies. Snowboarders can warm themselves up or listen to their favourite tunes by adjusting controls sewn into their sleeves.
