NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Welspun (www.welspun.com), a conglomerate that specializes in home textiles, is thrilled to announce that it has secured the "Interactive Textile Article and Augmented Reality System" patent, which protects Welspun's new product line TILT. The patent covers a system that has textile material with a design motif and an augmented reality software application.
