ABSTRACT
III
Based on the advances in computer technology, especially in the field of miniaturization,
wireless technology and worldwide networking, the vision of wearable computers emerged. We
already use a lot of portable electronic devices like cell phones, notebooks and organizers. The
next step in mobile computing could be to create truly wearable computers that are integrated
into our daily clothing and always serve as our personal assistant. Which new functions could
textiles have? Is a combination of textiles and electronics possible? What sort of intelligent
clothing can be realized? Necessary steps of textile research and examples of current
developments are presented as well as future challenges.
