Utilising computer vision and illuminating optical fibres, intelligent textiles are designed to recognise hand and body gestures to customise its colour illuminations instantly. The patented design and technology transforms conventionally passive fabrics into interactive textiles, making possible dynamic customisation of products and environments.
With the applications in rehabilitation, it has the potential for individualised rehabilitative interventions within multi-user contexts. Utilising a co-design approach enables the creation of sensory tools with designs that resonates with the users, thus encouraging greater interaction instead of generic products. We have applied Intelligent Textile System at Wong Tai Sin District Health Centre. It could use as multi-sensory therapy by interacting with the intelligent textiles.
