Nothing way we no go hear! thanks to technology.
What if you never had to pull out
your phone to dismiss an incoming call? That's the type of future Google and
Levi's are envisioning.
The two companies are partnering
to create a pair of "smart" jeans that you can use to perform certain
actions on your phone, Google announced during its annual I/O developer
conference in San Francisco on Friday.
The move is part of a bigger
initiative by Google called "Project Jacquard," which is essentially
a type of smart yarn that would allow textile manufacturers to create
electronic clothing more easily.
There's no word on when you'll
actually be able to buy a pair of Levi's pants to come from the partnership.
But we got an idea of how fabric with Google's special yarn woven inside would
work. During a demo we saw on Thursday, we tapped a small section on a piece of
fabric to pause and play music. You could also swipe the fabric to control
volume.
Google isn't the first to dream
up such an idea — plenty of companies large and small are working on creating
clothing that can connect to your phone. But it sounds like Google is creating
a common type of thread that would make it easier to create such devices.
What we're seeing at I/O is just
the tip of the iceberg, Google says. Designers and developers will be creating
apps that are tailored to these types of smart clothing.
My questions are "will this pants be washed? and how?". i guess it will be water proof. Time will tell.
WE LOVE YOUR COMMENTS.
