Google, Levi's to make Smart Clothing that Interacts with your Device

[idoyo]

Google announced that it is working with iconic US jean maker, Levi Strauss, to make clothing from specially woven fabric with touch-screen control capabilities.

Levi's said smart clothing could help people interact more with the real world around them instead of constantly staring at phones.
Wearing clothing made from the textiles, you could swipe your hand over the sleeve of a jacket or side of your jeans to silence a phone. Tap a finger to start playing a song.

Called Project Jacquard, the initiative was officially announced at Google's annual developer conference on Friday. Levi's is its first official clothing partner, and the two Bay Area companies will start designing and experimenting with smart clothing.

They did not announce a timeline for when any smart clothes would be commercially available, though Levi's global head of product innovation, Paul Dillinger, said the process would be iterative, fast and fun.

Hua mnawachukulia poa sana wanasayansi, kwa nini hua mna-assume kila kitu kinachotengenezwa kina madhara?? Hawa jamaa hawatengenezi vitu vya kuua watu kwamba na wao hawatatumia, wanatengeneza na wao wanatumia vilevile...

N still unafahamu nini kuhusu engineering kusema kuna madhara?? ungekua na knowledge angalau kidogo ya process wanazopitia kutengeneza kitu kama hicho usingekuja na mawazo kama hayo, sanasana ungeappreciate watu wanavotumia hesabu kufanya maisha yetu kua marahisi.
