Smart clothes with integrated sensors

As we move into an age where we move from viewing computers as things to computers in things, one of the logical places will be in our clothes. In this article a number of examples of ten articles of smart clothing are described. Some of them are networked while others have standalone functionality.



  1. Motion Detecting Pants

  2. Proximity Sensing Shirt

  3. Heart Sensing Bra

  4. Smart Running Shoes

  5. Networked Jacket

  6. Neuro Headset

  7. Thought Helmet

  8. iPod Watch.

  9. Biosensor Underwear

  10. Nanofibers


The underlying technologies that allow these products to function have many more uses as well.
