e-textiles
Wearable circuit cloth
E-textiles are fabrics that incorporate electronic components—sensors, LEDs, conductive threads, or microcontrollers woven directly into the material.
Also called electronic textiles or smart fabrics.
Applications range from fitness clothing that monitors heart rate to fashion pieces that change color or light up: Her jacket had e-textile panels that glowed in response to sound.
