Part II: Smart Textiles Salon, 21 April 2011

The Smart Textiles Salon (STS) is an innovative exhibition concept. It combines the transfer of theory through a presentation of various exposés as well as hands-on practical insight through demonstration of the prototypes' working principle. The participant can experience the inventions on three different levels: listening to the information given by the presenter, seeing the prototype working and trying out the prototype personally.

Approximately, 20 prototypes will be chosen for display at the Smart Textiles Salon 2011. The prototypes will be shown to the audience in a 10 to 15 min. presentation following a preset programme (t.b.d.). More information can be found on www.smarttextilessalon.com.

One of the presenters of the Smart Textiles Salon is the winner of the SYSTEX Student Award 2010, Kunal Mankodiya (Institute for Signal Processing, University of Luebeck, DE). Mr. Mankodiya won the SYSTEX Student Award 2010 for his outstanding work in the field of Multimodal Biosignal Monitoring. Through this award, SYSTEX wants to raise students' interest in intelligent textiles. Their work contributes to further scientific and technological developments, and being our future employees their drive will push our sector forward.

A booklet including the descriptions of all prototypes exhibited will be distributed to the participants.
