Some of the projects this MIT group are working on include: attractive, interactive wallpaper that can be programmed to control lighting and sound; circuits that might be painted or drawn on paper; crafts and needleworks that sense inclination using materials such as conductive threads, yarns, fabrics, and paints. These materials are used to sew, knit, crochet, embroider, and laminate, creating a range of textile-based tilt sensors that form a tilt-sensing quilt; and a toolkit that enables people to build soft, flexible, fabric-based computers. You can see some of this exciting stuff on You Tube.
