What are interactive fabrics that respond to light?

Interactive fabrics that respond to light are textiles embedded with sensors and materials that can change their appearance or properties when exposed to light stimuli. These fabrics often incorporate technologies such as photochromic or electroluminescent materials, allowing them to alter color or pattern based on light intensity or wavelength. Applications can range from fashion to interior design, enhancing aesthetics and functionality. Such innovations pave the way for dynamic, responsive clothing and environments.
