Reflections on the reading of  Wearable Electronics and Smart Textiles: A Critical Review by Matteo Stoppa and Alessandro Chiolerio –

This article is a thorough in-depth useful list of the wearable electronics and smart textiles, some are being developed and some are already available in the field.

It divides the “Smart Textiles” into three subgroups:

• passive smart textiles
• active smart textiles which react to stimuli
• very smart textiles which are able to sense, react and adapt

It is amazing to know about the many directions researchers take, and how many new developments are being made. I wish for a store or a library that would accommodate all the available inventions so that people will be able to more easily experiment.
