Smart Clothing Will Adjust Itself According to Wearer's Needs
From: Wireless Design Magazine - 03/09/2016

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd has developed new technology
that takes care of the thermal, moisture and flow-technical behaviour of
smart clothing. The temperature of smart clothing, for example, is
automatically adjusted according to the wearer's individual needs. The
technology is also suited to demanding conditions such as hospitals and
sports.

In its Smart Clothing project, VTT developed a technology that can be
utilised in smart fabrics and clothing, able to calculate whether the wearer
needs to be cooled or warmed based on initial data measured from the person
and the environment. Furthermore, this technology is able to determine the
needed warming or cooling power so that the thermal sensation of the person
wearing the smart clothing remains optimal in varying conditions. The smart
fabrics and clothing currently on the market faces the challenge of adjusting
the individual temperature of a human body rapidly and automatically
according to the wearer's actual need.
