Most of everyday clothing consists of textile fibres woven together to produce a fabric.Their primary purpose is structural and aesthetic. Fibres can have added functionality by the integration of computing power into the material that forms them. The purpose of the 'fibre computing' concept is to integrate this new dimension of functionality into fibres, thus turning everyday clothing objects into intelligent artefacts.
