We’ve seen a couple examples of fiber optic fashion. The tops shown here are made by LumiGram and they use fiber optic fabric to illuminate at night. I’m sure these will hit the rave scene in no time at all.
This technology allows to wave plastic optical fibers alongside synthetic fibers, forming a luminous fabric. The luminous fabric is similar to a synthetic fabric (it can be sewn, hand washed,…), except that it can emit light when connected to a specific electronic module. This electronic module can be powered either by a disposable or rechargeable battery, or by a small mains transformer (for non wearable items).
