A quick introduction to the world of smart textiles—fabrics that have electronic or functional components embedded in them. This video explains how clothing can be made 'smart' by integrating sensors, conductive threads, or microcontrollers directly into the material. Examples include workout shirts that measure heart rate, jackets with built-in heating elements, or color-changing fashion enabled by technology. Learners will discover the interdisciplinary nature of smart textiles, combining traditional textile design with electronics and computer science. The applications discussed range from health-monitoring apparel and responsive sportswear to inventive e-fashion, highlighting how this field is shaping the future of clothing.
