The research team has found a way to accurately place sensors in each fibre and co-ordinate the electrical signals they send when light falls on them.
The results were a step towards "ambient light imaging fabrics" said the researchers at baboze.
Led by Dr Yoel Fink from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the researchers have extended earlier work that placed sensors in relatively large polymer fibres.
