The next laptop you buy could be closer to your lap then you’d imagine. A
keyboard made out of a smart fabric could be sewn into your trousers or skirt.
To use it, you would just sit down and start tapping away on your lap. Made by
the British company Electrotextiles as a demonstrator for its Elektex material,
it consists of conductive fibres woven into nylon. The keyboard will be
washable, ironable and shockproof. For its next trick, Electrotextiles is
planning a necktie that functions as a mouse.
