Introduction to Part 3
Non-textile Wearables and smart Textile Wearables and apparel are two big branches of wonderful and broad technical, scientific, technological, industrial, etc. and of course artistic professions! This is especially true in France, for example, as it is one of the historical engines driving the textile trade with its manufacturers, research laboratories, engineering schools and fashion designers who are always on the lookout for new technologies, either in terms of material, shape, ennoblement or technicity. In order to make this all the more concrete, over the course of this next part, we will present – with no marketing aim – many examples present on the market which, in our eyes, illustrate the different categories and classes of non-textile Wearable applications on the one hand, and smart textiles and apparel on the other. To explain why we used these examples and not others, the answer is simple and as follows: we had to choose representative applicative examples because this book is not and cannot be an encyclopedia, nor a monthly review, nor a blog.
