Wearable Tech 4: Clever clothing

Talkback

• Some of them seem promising

  The Electronic shirt looks promising in the medical field too. The assitive scarf, if it isn't a scarf, but a belt or something for all seasons seems useful for visually impaired. Even the solar jack seems feasible for people to buy (hiking, camping, motorcycling, skiiing, etc).
  
  However, I have to admit I was surprised nobody made snide comments about the keyboard across the pants idea yet. That doesn't look too flattering.

  • Didn't you recognize Loverock Davidson holding the keyboard?

    I hope he uses spell check with that keyboard.

• Not so sure about the 1st one....

  Crotch-typing seems to be a little bit... odd.
  
  The rest of them looks pretty awesome.

• Looks like Chindogu and performance art fodder

  None of this looks ready for prime-time.. especially the crotch typing.

• Some useful, some silly

  A few of these look like they could be useful (assistive scarf, touch-sensitive glove), while others are just silly, but probably fun. No matter how silly it may seem, though, any advance in technology can have benefits that are not immediately apparent -- except maybe typing on your crotch. Does that thing have haptic feedback? That opens up some really interesting possibilities
