Technology is going more innovative day by day. and today there is no single aspect where technology is not been used. From just calculations to implementing massive space projects, technology is everywhere. so why not fashion? Have you ever thought of wearing such clothes, which can provide digital services? Yes, you read it right, there is such a jacket by which we can control our phones and other things.
Google’s ATAP team demoed a new kind of wearable tech at Google I/O that used functional fabrics and conductive yarns to allow you to interact with your clothing and, by extension, the phone in your pocket. Google and Levi’s had announced their latest collaboration: Jacquard-enabled versions of Levi’s Trucker Jacket. These jackets come in different styles, including the Classic Trucker and the Sherpa Trucker, and men’s and women’s versions.
Connected, not distracted. Iconic Levi’s® Trucker jacket merges style with innovative Jacquard technology. Answer calls, play music and take photos right from your sleeve. Levi’s were the first to create the blue jean and, 150 years later, were the first to launch a product with Jacquard by Google. The new Levi’s Trucker Jacket incorporates the latest Jacquard technology with one of the most iconic styles in the history of fashion.
The idea here is simple: Levi’s® Trucker Jacket lets you access digital services right from your cuff, wherever you go. You can then swipe over your cuff, tap it or hold your hand over it to issue commands to your phone. You use the Jacquard phone app for iOS or Android to set up what each gesture does, with commands ranging from saving your location to bringing up the Google Assistant in your headphones, from skipping to the next song to controlling your camera for selfies or simply counting things during the day, like the coffees you drink on the go. If you have Bose noise-canceling headphones, the app also lets you set a gesture to turn your noise cancellation on or off. In total, there are currently 19 abilities available, and the dongle also includes a vibration motor for notifications.
