An increasing number of things are becoming “smart;” from fridges to entire homes, it seems companies won’t be happy until everything has connectivity features. One thing we’re starting to see more of is connected clothing, and thanks to Google’s partnership with Levi’s, which was announced at Google I/O last year, we’ll soon see a new smart jacket.
The companies’ technology, codenamed Project Jacquard, will be used in the ‘Commuter’ jacket so wearers can perform actions such as answer phone calls, control music, and get navigation instructions from Google maps just by touching the interactive surface on the garment’s sleeve.
