These input technologies (Jacquard and Silo) are the perfect complement for AR glasses. Imagine walking on the street with hands in the pocket seeing infos augmented to the glasses and controlling them with a subtle gestures. No tapping/swiping on the glasses, no voice needed, all done with the hands inside the pocket.

*Wipes crumbs on pants* *Accidentally calls everyone*

Oh god. Can't wait to take my clothes off at the airport.

Why us this not on the arm of my couch? Never lose the remote again

I like the tech and can already think of a few things to do with it. 1: tactical training 2: put it in bulletproof vests so a paramedic teem can know where to look for the bullet that did penetrate. 3: physical therapy, you could use it to show progress. 4: workout / fitness, use as an input to modify workout parameters.

This is incredible! I love seeing the technology and fashion industries coming together to create these amazing products.

This gives a whole new meaning to the term "wearables"

I think everyone's wish - be the cleverest they can be. Then work on something diligently and when it's ready, give it to the world. Never will I look at a finger, or a hand stroking a sleeve in the same way, like ever again ..

This is my *first* time hearing about this interesting project, and I like what I see thus far. It's truly amazing to witness another dose of genius in another area of our daily lives.

ATAP proved to be innovative ,well Done

interesting.. looking forward to see future applications of this technology

Nothing much excites me any more, but I am very much intrigued. Can't wait to see more end product

Added to our favourites playlist :)

Brings a new interpretation to the colloquialism 'butt dialing'. Seriously though, while it has applications most of them would require pairing to a device that is probably going to be in your pocket and I think the radar tech they're working on has more promise since it should be able to read through fabrics, possibly multiple layers. Just fit one of the radar sensors on the back of a phone case or inside the back of the device, make sure the back is facing away from the body and you have access.

Thank you for this. I'm just starting out in fashion design this is great knowledge to have

It was absolutely amazing. Amazing. 😮😮😮

Google is such an inspirational company!

For Google ATAP: if the rest of the clothing will be made from piezoelectric stuff then you will not need baterry. I did a research on this:)

Amazing and the sensor hope can be very stable and sun energy! tech log change so fast, it is nothing impossible!!

#ProjectJacquard a new way of expression! Can't wait for this technology to evolve. Outta be careful how one touch another. :-)

It would be nice to have a patch of textile in your couch, which would serve as a remote control, for your TV, gaming console, etc... Interesting application

Proud to be a textile engineer. Love from Bangladesh, the first choice of Levis to buy RMG®

Such an out-of-the-box thinking !

inspiring and exciting👍🏻👍🏻

UPVOTE FOR THE RED C BADGE @3:00! Proof that you don't have to be a full time employee to work on an inspiring project at Google.

Oh my god I can't believe it's already happening. Embedding technology into a fabric has come to my imagination 3 years ago and I even presented my concept as part of our thesis but the only difference is that my idea was organic LEDs embeded through the fabric so you can change the color or design of the fabric by just a single tap.

Amazing!!! What we can do when we use our imagination...

Here comes the future, wonderful stuff

*Introducing Project Jacquard!* Ropa inteligente...

This video has pretty diverse accents around, I'm glad that many people from different origins are collaborating and making this futuristic fabric happen!

This would be pretty cool on the arm of your sofa as a TV remote. Especially if your the type to lost your remote all the time.

Could this be used for movement capability with VR, sorta like the omni treadmill? Or could it be used to make clothing with haptic feedback?

Great news. Interesting new technology. Now, the question that has been evaded. What's the cost that comes with adding a textile sensible control in the clothing? How much more will we have to pay for this feature? Remember that the concept runs around the fact that "more components" will be added to the manufacturing process. More component is equivalent to more shipping costs and then higher selling prices. I'm not even writing about the rarity of the component materials that is yet to be known that allow the yarns' conductivity. Also, what kind of guaranties will there be? Remember that this will make the clothes enter the "electronics" laws about customers rights for flawed devices, but unlike the actual electronics, it will still be considered as clothes for disposals. If, for example, you buy a jacket that have a none-working zone, what then? More e-Waste? We need some answers for that and not only for the customers side, but also to know if we're just dumping some new tech around while still wondering what will be its actual recycled life (like we did with PCs, Cellphones and many electronic devices for many years).

Jacquard makes for really cool Jackets.

would love this on the chrome book as a touch interface

Has it been considered of seasonal changes? or perhaps temperature tolerance? or waterproof?

This is going to be revolutionary....

That's awesome ! But as a Google project, it won't come out. Anyway, this is really interesting to see how we can integrate new use for clothes.

Can't wait for Power Glove 2.0!

Beautiful.

Make my day! Thank you! Cecilia Metheny

Super Amazing !

Intéressant 💯

What phone is pictured at the end of the film?

This project seems to be able to make something like Aduino Lilly. Well, it is great to have made this way with the conductive thread.

hooo welcome to FUTURE peole AWESOME PROJECT...

ATAP is so damn awesome

it make sense if it controlled things in your house. Like a super hightech villa that you can control from your tux.

All I can think about are the James Bond-like applications. Spies using their coats to send messages with their arms harmlessly folded. And then of course the anti-smart coat technologies that will have to be deployed. ;)

damn ivan you doing well on these projects

Edna 'E' Mode: "And machine washable, darling. That's a new feature. "

Please take it easy! I am not mental ready for this!

you can integrate this with other techs to make clothes that can adjust to different conditions: temp, press, humid, blah blah. Would be highly productive for making suits for firemen, soldiers, astraunauts, divers, winter jackets and many others. explorations and rescueing pips will be less hard.

Crazy, like it :D

Is it waterproof?

I would like to welcome you, Project Jacquard. I know, I am no Google, but working with conductive yarn and weaving since 2008. Feel free to contact me if you guys are looking for an ambitious young Dutch Designer.

My biggest dream came true to combine Technology and Textile

muito massa, legal pra caramba

What will you do about water? What if the clothing gets wet? What happens to the fabric?

A very interesting development. What about the daily use? Wash your hands every time? Food, dust, drinks? Wash fabric to break this development.

Forget Google Glass-It’s All About Google Pants

i love that project

Imagine this in your lounge with a universal remote how cool is that

How do I get my hands on some of this fabric??

This project is the sign that computing is liberated from its form factor. Start seeing in many more things around you.

The first thing that came to my mind is a TV Remote built into the couch fabric...except I don't watch TV...

Anywhere I can sign up as a tester?

How do you wash it? without ruining the chips?

Interesting. Looking up to be mainstream by 2020

What will happen if you put the clothes in a washing machine? Will it still work? How will it be reliable for a day today works or function?

My biggest dream is to work at Google.

People talk about the feeling about getting old and not understanding new technology. I'm not even 30 yet, but I have the feeling that I will understand next to nothing about the things happening when I'm 40.

how about cleaning them? doesn't water harm the circuits?

How do you wash these clothes?

So, does it but-dial?

Google are changing the world.

Such a shame for Italy that no one from our country is involved in this project, we were the first country of the world for textile, fashion design and tailoring...

So what's going to be possible with this new fabric? Are we going to operate our cellphones via our shirts and jackets? I'm a bit curious about the crazy ideas these google guys will come up with!

How will this conductive "yarn" perform after being washed?

Is it washable?

Where did they get all those Life Fibers from?

Do some one know what music is played behind ? :)

People are staring at Facebook 24/7 like zombies already, now we'll literally become zombies...

What's the music? Anyone know?

"Welcome to project jacquard" , "Welcome to project soli" , "say hello to project tango" ..... google always welcome us to projects that are never completed

Interesting, but what can you do with it? I mean, if it's super-cheap to the point where I could easily buy an entire wardrobe with this feature then I guess it could be useful for trivial stuff like... drum pants or something. But aside from that, I'm having trouble imagining a real use case for this. Oh well, maybe someone will come up with a good use for this at some point.

what if the conductive cloth folds over on itself?

*Google lanceert Project Jacquard waarmee textiel aanraakgevoelig wordt en kan communiceren met digitale apparaten* Tijdens I/O 2015 lanceerde Google project Jacquard. Met deze technologie wordt het mogelijk om textiel aanraakgevoelig te maken zodat deze kan communiceren met een digitaal apparaat zoals je telefoon. Een interessante ontwikkeling waar designers en kledingindustrie zich de komende tijd over mogen buigen. Erg benieuwd naar mogelijke toepassingen.

I'm having problem logging in on your website, please help me

RIP Jacquard

How fine can they make those threads? I would love a Wacom tablet that actually felt like paper or canvas.

not a bio medical or medical expert, just an idea pop up, how about measuring the level and chemical composition of sweat after our body gets heat up, through embedded Flat senors in our clothes. I believe we can able extract some information which can help us to know about our health, which vitamins, calcium etc. our body needs.

Its like buzz light years thing on his arm. That's the first thing that came to mind. Is you guys need testing I will do anything haha. Kid in high school + kids who love technology = a lot of awareness of the product 💪

if we forgot to remove the chip, we washed the clothes?what happend sir.

For safety clothes! infinite applications...

No can live without privacy thank you Google

So how do you wash your clothes? Water and electronics tend not to work to well. no?

You never know till you try it.

What happens if you wash it?
