Project Jacquard

Google want to make our live easier and make technology arrive to all the normal objects. We have seen how mobile phones, TVs and watches became smart. However, google have give a step forward and has begin a project to make clothes smart. Yes they want to make possible controll our smartphones with a jacket or a pair of trousers.

This Google projet has been called Project Jacquard and it´s a colaboration whith the clothes company Levi´s. They have make it possible connect the clothes to the gadgets with "smart
yards" that are made of the combination of natural and synthetic materyals like cotton, polyerster or silk and metallic alloys, which coduce electricity. This electric yarns act like a touchscreen: when they detect pressure, they send an electric sign to the little wireless connector and then the sign is sent to our smartphones.

Each day more and more products are becoming "smart" andf in the future, I personally feel that we could slide down the blind or close the door with our trousers or T-shirt.
