Question 25:
A team of British scientists is developing "intelligent" clothes that will give disabled children
the power of "speech". Children wearing waistcoats made of a unique electrotextile, linked to a
speech synthesiser, will be able to make themselves understood simply by tapping on the
touch-sensitive material.
The material is made up of normal cloth and an ingenious mesh of carbon- impregnated fibres
that can conduct electricity. When pressure is applied to the fabric, the pattern of signals that
passes through the conducting fibres is altered and a computer chip can work out where the
cloth has been touched. It then can trigger whatever electronic device is attached to it, which
could be no bigger than two boxes of matches,
**The smart bit is in how we weave the fabric and how we send signals through it and we can
weave it into existing fabric designs so you cannot see it's in there," says one of the scientists.
Without being damaged, the material can be washed, wrapped around objects or crushed. The
scientist also claims it can be mass produced cheaply.
