Researchers at the National University of Singapore, led by Assistant Professor Tural Khudiyev, have built what they call the first touchscreen woven into a garment: 54 specialised fibres that act as pixels and sense touch at the same time, forming a 96 x 54-pixel display on a sleeve that can show images, play video and respond to a fingertip. The electronics live inside the fibres themselves rather than in a screen stitched on top — a step toward interfaces that are soft, washable and worn rather than carried. The work was published in Nature on 21 October 2026. Source: Yanko Design
