Hey everyone,
The Wearable Technology Show is currently happening in London so I thought is would be a great time to have another discussion on wearable tech!
One of the main talking points this year is smart textiles. In the near future the clothes you wear will be able to take over many of the functions that your phone performs such as measuring your physical activity, counting steps or displaying information like text messages directly on to your sleeve. In addition these smart fabrics can monitor your health by taking an ECG and testing your sweat for signs of illness. They will also be able to heat up or cool you down automatically. There's also the more superficial applications such as having a screen woven directly into your t shirt!
Personally I'm really excited to see how this technology develops and look forward to getting my hands on a smart t shirt in the near future. How about you? Do you see this tech as more if a gimmick and do you foresee any negative consequences emerging from the widespread use of smart fabrics?

The weight of the occupant is used to determine how much pressure is required to inflate the airbag to protect the occupant as much as possible in a crash.
A heavier occupant needs more airbag to crash into than a lighter occupant.
We can also position the steering wheel and pedals electronically depending on size and weight of occupant to lessen the chance of injury in a crash.
