The smart devices become more and more present in our lives, at home or at work. Following this trend, our clothing is also becoming intelligent and that will become a real and interesting challenge for the Professional Textile Cleaners. Here are 5 of new patents in the field of smart clothing:
- Fly open alarm. Your pants squeak or vibrate when the fly is open.
- Compassion with a tackle. Football shirt full of pressure sensors, which measure when the ball or another player touches the player’s shirt and transmits this via the telephone to the spectator’s T-shirt.
- Garment that you take to measure. The garment records your measurements and the computer makes a fitting model of your body and shows you online whether the chosen garment fits or not and which parts are too tight or too wide.
- Clothing with built-in heart rate monitor. Garments such as a glove or T-shirt with heart rate monitor and flexible LED display where a green display means a healthy heart rate and a red display signals potential heart rate problems.
- Phone changes color T-shirt. A T-shirt made of a fabric with color-changing fibers. The image on the T-shirt changes due to a signal from the mobile phone.
