Introduction

Abstract

Emerging sensing and reacting capabilities are imparted to textiles by means of smart materials and enabling conductive and electronic technologies. Through the perspective of seamless integration of technology into our environment, smart textiles are able to involve physical and immaterial dimensions, promoting added functionality and interaction between people and their surroundings. In interior spaces, variation of artificial light intensity and tone are commonly achieved by acting upon the light source. Smart textile responsive behavior presents the possibility to change the light that passes through them—light transmittance—through the reversible change of their properties, performing as Dynamic Light Filters and allowing the design of dynamic lighting scenarios.
