Converting fabric into e-textiles without changing unique properties

Saarland University computer scientists invented a new way to turning fabric into e-textiles without changing unique properties. And these special textiles can be produced in a comparatively easy way, thus opening up new use cases.

Jürgen Steimle, Computer Science Professor at Saarland University says, “Our goal was to integrate interactive functionalities directly into the fibers of textiles instead of just attaching electronic components to them.”
