This year's Google I / O has us Android M and updated Google cardboard, as well as free and unlimited photo storage. But it would not be Google if it's not some moon shots in there. We go hands-on with one of them, project Jacquard.
We are on the Google project Jacquard demo at Google I / O 2015 Touch-sensitive parts can either take off (as is the case here) received or are virtually invisible woven into the clothing as a whole live pressure feedback has shown that the Yarn of tenderness was quite familiar gestures such as swipes and taps your jeans
Jacquard project is the latest crazy but maybe world-changing innovations from Google's ATAP laboratory. The idea is simple: to weave conductive yarns in fabrics that make your clothes look like touchscreens.
Are Jacquard uses the touch-sensitive yarns thin, metallic alloys in combination with standard of yarn materials such as cotton or silk - wise yarn that is both touch-sensitive and strong enough to be woven into virtually every garment.
acquard yarn can either prominent seam - isolated patterns to make it clear to the wearer, which serves some of their shirt as a controller - or seamlessly woven (basically invisible) in the textile as a whole. And Google's goal is for the rest of the tech (Bluetooth radios and so on, so that the pants you can connect your smartphone) as small as a button to be.
What's the point, you ask? Well, that's one possible use of the House of the Future. How connected home devices take off the next ten years (something Google is also working on), we will quickly method of controlling them easily accessible want. Portable devices such as smart watches are a way to do that, but the clothes we are wearing now another.
An example Google showed us at I / O was control with touch-sensitive material on Philips' Hue lights. In our Google I / O demo, a quick tap of the clothing the lights turned on and off, scroll a swipe at the byline different color settings and swipes up and down changes the brightness.
When woven into something like a shirt sleeve or leg jeans, this might for the easiest way possible to make your optimize lighting - no matter what you are otherwise still busy.
In our demo, the fabric like a smartphone or laptop trackpad responds would touch. Nothing felt weird about the touch-sensitive parts, and live feedback shown on a monitor, it has been the detection of a plurality of compression (it felt much more sensitive than many laptop touchpads we've used).
Currently project Jacquard is a blank canvas for designers and developers. While uses as controlling your Hue lights can make for an immediate "a-ha!" Moment, there is a world of possibilities that is the matter that limits of designers and software developers imagination.
At least, project Jacquard is for some of the most remarkable collaborations the tech world has ever seen to make. Together at last: Philips and Hanes, or nest and Levis? These are the crazy melting pot of ideas, all of which can catch us unprepared and - maybe, just maybe - change how we interact with the world.
