Smart t-shirt with sound waves Researchers at ETH Zurich developed a smart textile that uses acoustic waves passed through glass fibers to measure touch, pressure, and movement. The researchers said that using acoustic waves rather than electronics makes measurements more precise with low power consumption and the textiles lighter, more breathable, and easier to wash. It also uses readily avai... » read more
