Google Shows Off Model of ‘Connected’ Levi’s Jacket

Quartz: The internet of garments is here, courtesy of Levi’s. On the final day of Google’s I/O developer conference, a Levi Strauss rep donned a denim jacket woven with conductive yarn. By touching, tapping, or swiping the jacket’s wrist, he demonstrated how it can play music, pause, and skip tracks. The jacket is only a prototype, but when the consumer version goes on sale next spring, it could theoretically get directions, answer and deny calls, and log bike rides, among other actions.
