Smart cloths that can take snaps of everything happening around you.

US researchers have made smart fabric that can detect the wavelength and direction of light falling on it to reconstruct an image projected onto the small square of fabric. All this is possible with the help of accurately placed sensors in each fibre and co-ordinating the electrical signals they send when light falls upon them. The result: "Your cloths will now be smarter enough to catch the snaps of whatever is happening around you. The researchers stretch the 25mm strands of polymer into much thinner fibres while maintaining the relative positions of the sensors. These thinner strands were woven into a 0.1m square section of fabrics, what they called it am "ambient light imaging fabrics".
