This smart fabric can warm up in 30 seconds when it is plugged into a slim power bank, giving a gentle sensation like the skin under sunshine. The breathable material of this patented invention makes it distinct from conventional heat-generating appliances by successfully addressing technological challenges to remove the bulkiness, discomfort and unaesthetic appearance of the latter, thus unlocking the possibility of new applications to satisfy consumers’ unmet needs. With this technology, smart textiles can do more with less, allowing the wearer to look and feel smart.
