Conductive fabrics are materials that can conduct electricity. They are often used to integrate electronic components into clothing, such as LEDs or sensors, without the need for hard circuits.

Shape memory alloys are materials that can return to their original shape after being deformed. This is often used in wearable actuators or self-fitting clothing.

Graphene-infused fabrics have graphene particles embedded in the material, offering enhanced strength, thermal conductivity, and electronic properties. Potential uses include sportswear and protective clothing.

Thermochromic materials change color in response to temperature variations. These can be used in fashion for dynamic designs or for safety gear to indicate overheating.

E-textiles, or electronic textiles, have digital components such as batteries, lights, or sensors embedded into fabric. They are used in fashion, healthcare monitoring, and as interface devices.

Wearable solar cells are incorporated into clothing to harvest energy from sunlight. This can power small electronics or charge devices on-the-go.

Photoluminescent textiles glow in the dark after being exposed to light. Uses include safety garments, fashion, and decorative elements.

Wearable fitness trackers monitor physical activity and health metrics such as heart rate, steps taken, and calories burned. They're widely used in personal health management and sports training.

Smart gloves are equipped with sensors and connectivity to interact with digital devices or provide haptic feedback. Potential applications include virtual reality experiences and remote control of devices.

Piezoelectric fabrics generate electricity when mechanical stress is applied. They can be used in wearable energy generators and as sensors in smart clothing.

Chromic fabrics change their color or transparency in response to external stimuli like light, temperature, or electricity. Their applications include dynamic fashion and responsive sun protection.

Wearable EEG headsets are non-invasive devices to monitor and record brain activity. They can be used in medical diagnostics, cognitive research, and even to control devices with brain waves.

Smart compression garments provide dynamic pressure to the body, beneficial for medical treatments and enhancing athletic performance. They can also monitor muscle activity and body metrics.

Wearable cameras are compact imaging devices that can be attached to clothing or the body. They are used for hands-free recording in personal security, law enforcement, and adventure sports.

Bioresponsive textiles react to biological signals such as sweat or temperature. They are used in healthcare for monitoring physiological conditions and creating adaptive clothing.

Electrically heated clothing contains elements that warm up when powered, providing heat to the wearer. It's particularly useful in extreme cold environments or for individuals with health conditions requiring consistent warmth.

Optical fiber clothing integrates optical fibers into textiles to create patterns or displays that can emit light. It's used in high-visibility safety apparel and for innovative fashion designs.

Pressure-sensitive fabrics change their electrical resistance when pressure is applied. They can be used in smart insoles for gait analysis or in interactive upholstery.

Wearable navigation systems integrate GPS and guidance technology into clothing to provide directions and location-based information to the user, often through haptic feedback.
