Abstract
An apparatus is provided that includes a piece of fabric with a slot formed in the piece of fabric. The apparatus includes light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned within the slot. The apparatus also includes a button operatively coupled to the LEDs such that the LEDs are configured to illuminate upon depression of the button. An apparatus is also provided that includes the piece of fabric with the slot formed in the piece of fabric and LEDs within the slot. The apparatus also includes a motion sensor to measure a motion parameter of the piece of fabric. The motion sensor is operatively coupled to the LEDs such that the LEDs are illuminated when the motion parameter exceeds a motion threshold.
