Get Ready For Digital Fabric!

Japanese researchers want to create clothes that can sense our touch and process the signals to perform never imagined before things. Japan's National Institute Of Advanced Industrial Science & Technology (AIST) is working on conductive fibers that will redefine the future of clothing and sense technology. The researchers have succeeded in integrating capacitive touch sensors with nylon fibers that are just 1 micron (0.001mm) thick.
