How will AI driven smart textiles play a role in bridging human connection and empathy? Healing can bring society together and alleviate hardships, those of which are omnipresent in society, environment, technology, and economy. The feel, or haptics, of textiles paired with technological innovation can facilitate intimate personal healing and deeper connection. Meanwhile, AI is rapidly gaining perspective of our deepest desires revealing buried truths about ourselves, society, and nature. Driven by the aerospace, health/wellness, and nanobiotech sectors, the haptic technology industry is projected to reach $9.1 billion by 2032 (Acumen Research). This trend report projects how haptic textiles will bridge hyper-innovation of micro and macro technologies with societal need for healing by 2050.
