Smart clothing – The future of the garment industry (Part 1)

Besides the development of fashion accessories integrated with technology such as watches, necklaces, bracelets, etc smart costumes are also gradually asserting their advantages.

Today, the wearable technology is still very suitable for everyone. Products like health and fitness tracking are still very popular in society, but how many people do you know wear smart glasses and smart watches day after day? The restriction on the use of such smart devices is an issue that makes the industry also weigh the benefits as well as the convenience of use. Thereby, smart clothes will probably be the right solution to the problem.

To understand what will happen to smart clothing, let’s take a look at some of the trends in this industry.

Change the color of your clothes

You may have seen clothing change color based on ambient light or temperature. Items that can change color like this are becoming very popular. Using the same technology to create clothes that change colors as desired, better than having to depend on other conditions such as temperature or light.

Prototypes of this clothing line have been tested in production. Researchers have been developing a type of copper wire that sits inside the core and is covered with a polymer strand. This polymer cover is impregnated with the discoloration drug used in manufacturing. The copper core makes it possible for users to change the temperature of the discolored drugs. Similar to a microcontroller, the shirt can accurately know the pattern of weaving and can create distinct lines on the fabric.

Track your health most accurately

Health and fitness are important factors in the wearable industry. They are convenient and appropriate, but they do not fit perfectly. Take health monitoring as an example.

About 30% of people buy them stop using after a period of time. This shows that the data or benefits that it brings are not optimal for users so that they feel they can be used for a long time. Along with that is another issue: “Health improvement”. Maybe you’re looking to improve your golf or football skills, clothes based on wearable technologies can help you do that in the future.

Engineers in the industry are developing very small motion sensors that can be integrated into the shoulders of your shirt or the sole of your shoes. These sensors are powered through a battery that attaches to your clothes. As technology grows, the sensors get smaller and smaller and may someday be stitched between fabrics.

In general, if you want to know exactly what your body has been through throughout the day, it is best to use a sensor that measures your whole body throughout the day. And how to use a sensor to measure your whole body in addition to integrating it into the clothes you are wearing every day.
