A few technologies I have come across that seem an obvious match for doing ubicomp (tdf) etc.

1. SOFTswitch Electronic Fabrics - About: “SOFTswitch makes fabrics touch sensitive and interactive. Imagine a roll-up QWERTY keyboard, a jacket that interfaces with your mobile phone, a television remote control sewn into the arm of a sofa or light switches embedded in curtains and carpets.”

2. Luminex - idea -: “LUMINEX is a new fabric (nonreflective) that can emit its own light. It is created with threads of every type and nature that emits light in different colors”

3. Sensitive Object - Extending interactivity to everyday life environnement.: "The Sensitive Object solutions enable extended interactivity with almost all objects of our everyday life environment, by a simple finger-touch contact! Indeed this new process makes it possible to develop interactivity with any type of object whatever the material or the form. The great flexibility of the solutions (only one sensor is needed) allows a wide range of applications in particular in house automation, interactive commercial windows shops, animation of public places, education, leisure and the artistic field. "

4. GPS and Director MX: "The primary hardware piece is a GPS receiver.

GPSy is a software interface for a variety of GPS receivers including Garmin. GPSy is AppleScriptable, meaningthat the data it captures can be passed through AppleScript to other applications,such as Director MX."
