Screen made of woven optical fibers, integrated into your shirt, scarf or coat, enabling you to download text or images has been invented by French Telecom R&D Department.
You can view these images in an in built screen which can double up as wireless network communications, like the internet.
The aim of the research is to get a hands free connectivity.
The prototype incorporates a lightweight flat telephone, sewn into the jacket's lining and a microphone in the collar.
The caller uses voice commands or he can access a keypad in the button flap, and gets connected without a mobile or PDA.
