Smart fabric is fabric that enable computing, digital components, and electronics to be embedded in them. Part of the development of wearable technology, they are known as intelligent clothing or smart clothing because they allow for the incorporation of built-in technological elements in everyday textiles and clothes. Electronic textiles do not strictly encompass wearable computing because emphasis is placed on the seamless integration between the fabric and the electronic elements, such as cables, microcontrollers, sensors and actuators.
Smart fabric is made up of fabrics and conducting wires, integrated circuits, LEDs, and conventional batteries. It measures the heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, activity, and posture. Data is transmitted via Bluetooth to a radio, PDA or mobile phone and hence the internet. It also measures Heart rate, speed and distance to a mobile phone for training purposes.
It used majorly for Fashion and Entertainment, Sports and Fitness Monitoring, Medical and Healthcare, Transportation, Protection and Military.
