Challenges for now and for the future

•  Designing an extra layer of meaning on a product that already has plenty of functionality.

•  Designing meaningful interaction with e-textile products.

•  Industrial fabrication of e-textile products.

•  Designing the life cycle of e-textiles. Current materials are not sustainable. Good integration of electronics and textiles can make disposing of the product harder.
