The LuminousTex fabric is something straight out of a sci-fi movie. The clothing can light up and change color at the press of a button.
Making an impression at a party won't ever be a problem again with the LuminousTex fabric. The fabric can change color through the use of fiber optics woven directly into the fabric. By touching a sensor on the fabric, one can go from pretty in purple to beautiful in blue.
While the ability to match any accessories you may have on your person at any given time is an amazing plus, that won't be the only thing that could come out of this technology. Since this is fabric at the end of the day, anything that is made of fabric should be able to use the technology. On the Sensing Tex site the company discusses things like drapes and table coverings getting the LuminousTex fabric treatment. Soon, you'll literally be able to change with the weather.
