About Smart Clothing


Smart clothingPeople are already carrying around more and more electronic products; mobile phones, laptops, personal hi-fis and more one the way. It makes perfect sense to actually start integrating  products into clothes.

Smart clothing is a combination of electronics and clothing textiles. New fibre and textile materials and miniaturized electronic components make it possible to create truly usable smart clothes. These intelligent clothes are worn like ordinary clothing providing help in various situations according to the designed application.

A piece of clothing works and helps actively to carry out a mission such as drying. A piece of clothing usually dries hanging, it requires a certain time to dry, so this means a passive drying. An active drying can be accomplished with humidity sensor, which notices proportional humidity growing up and puts heating on. Therefore dissipating of water becomes more effective.

Active characters of smart clothing can be heating, cooling, active changing of colour and active drying.
