E-Textiles @ IFAI

Looks like we're getting set to meet again and discuss "e-textiles" at the IFAI symposium this week. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, e-textiles is "electronic textiles" or "electrotextiles."
Back in 2001 with the relative success of Georgia Tech's SmartShirt thru DARPA's Defense Science Office, another program was started that would delve deeper into the enabling technologies of e-textiles, it was of course called "e-textiles." For a combination of reasons this program never took off, but there was some good work done at the seedling level.


Years have past and technology has progressed -- I look forward to seeing what comes to light at the IFAI Symposium on Wednesday...should be interesting...
