Intelligent textiles at work and play
Providing customers with technology solutions that incorporate the functionality and lifestyle enhancements of electronics with the aesthetics and benefits of textiles.
Many studies are predicting the growth of so-called "intelligent fabrics" and the convergence of electronics and textiles.
While others have been talking about it SOFTswitch Ltd has been delivering commercial electronic Fabric Solutions to a wide range of innovative customers:
- Burton Snowboard's Amp backpack and iPod Jacket (named one of Time Magazine's Coolest Inventions of 2002, with new styles released every year since).
- O'Neill Hub Snowboard Jacket (in conjunction with Infineon Technologies AG)
- Nike ACG CommJacket
And while the future looks good for electronic textiles, it looks even brighter for companies wishing to incorporate SOFTswitch fabric switches, keypads and pressure sensors into their garments, bags, accessories, interiors and devices.
