What is smart clothes?
The so -called "Smart Clothing" is a futuristic form of clothing that acts as an active device, such as release of chilled water vapor when it feels that its bearer is hot. The term “intelligent clothing” refers to the presence of built -in electronics. Some forms of intelligent clothing have been created, but none of them has been really produced and many others are sci-fi stories and cannot be produced with contemporary technology. Intelligent clothes are very interesting for militants in the world, which often try to wrap as much functionality in the equipment of a single soldier. View images, text and video; join the Internet; offer input equipment; and so on. Other possible features of intelligent clothing include the ability to detect chemicals in the air, quickly solidify to contact the Speeding Bullet, change color or opacity, generate strength from the wearer's movement, record the wearer's speech and activity, and even projects the image of the scene behind the wearer and creates a rough form of invisibilityWomen for camouflage. Different "power suits" in sci -fi and imagination show these features.
Clothing usually has soft, light, thin and flexible, while most of the electronics are hard, heavy, strong and rigid. Only the most advanced custom -made electronics have desirable properties in clothing, although many millions of dollars in risk capital are to develop such advanced electronics. For example, it is commonly assumed that flexible displays will be commercialized before 2010. It will be one of the first big steps to intelligent clothing.
Integrated electronics clothing exists today, but it cannot really be called "smart". An existent jacket that can be connected to iPod and used to navigate the song lists. The garments built by RFIDs were used to operate doors that detect the brand and are open in response. Space suits used by astronauts are dense with miniatureIzed electronics used for different purposes.
Many futurists think that one day everyone will wear smart clothes, because it will be so useful. There are few inanimate objects so intimately associated with people and our everyday life in the way of clothing, and it would be quite comfortable if we could increase its functionality.
