Google unveiled Project Jacquard - a conductive fabric that can communicate with digital devices

Wearables just got a lot more wearable. 

Google this morning unveiled Project Jacquard — a conductive fabric that can communicate with digital devices. 

The Jacquard yarn can be weaved into the fabric of clothing so that it becomes connected and touch-sensitive. A piece of Jacquard clothing might transmit data about the movements of the person wearing it to a smartphone, for example.

The first apparel company to use Jacquard will be Levi Strauss. http://tgcafe.it/1FSP2lG

Not sure what they'll do with the technology, but it's excited nonetheless.

And, as Mark Sullivan nicely summarized it in his post at VentureBeat http://tgcafe.it/1RwQMF8:

"I also hope it’s secure. I’d hate for somebody to hack my pants."

Indeed.
