User ID: 77873001 United States 10/09/2019 11:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Google and Levi's built a new gesture-sensing smart jacket "The left sleeve on the blue denim jacket I’m wearing looks like a normal textile. But if I brush my right hand over that small part of the garment, moving inwards, a robotic voice announces the time through my Bluetooth headphones. Moving my hand across it outwards—like I’m pushing crumbs off the sleeve— prompts the Google Assistant to tell me the weather. If I double-tap it, any song I’m listening to skips back to the beginning. The jacket emerged from a collaboration between Levi's and Google; it's part of a Google project called Jacquard. Conductive fibers in one portion of the sleeve connect to a chip, also in the sleeve, and a 1.5-inch black electronic component plugs into a portal at the cuff. That acts as a Bluetooth bridge between the garment and your phone. Using the corresponding app, you can determine what the different gestures you make on the sleeve actually do (the jacket is mostly meant to be used with headphones on). If you want that “brush in” to announce the name of the song playing, it can do that, too. Likewise, the “brush out” and “double tap” motions can perform various functions, like skipping ahead to the next track or just playing or pausing what you’re listening to. If you want, the black component that plugs in can display a blue blinking light if someone calls or texts you, or a green light when your Uber arrives."

Learn how to make a fire & build a shelter. Learn how to read a map & use a compass. It's frightening how disconnected from the real world & basic outdoors skills these younger generations are becoming. My father, God rest his soul, died when I was 12 but took me camping, fishing, & enrolled me in Cub Scouts to learn these basics. If SHTF, these people are gonna be helpless. Who knew "The Walking Dead" was a survival training module? |

I use GPS map software when navigating long distances, but still make an effort to learn the lay of the land & how to get around without it. Having an ability to imagine 3-dimensional shapes & mentally move or manipulate them is a crucial cognitive skill, especially for men. It definately plays a major role in abstract thinking & problem solving. I urge everyone to keep those skills well-honed & resist relying on technology wherever possible. |
