Nanotech Fabric Leads the Charge
Now, the new hot shot in the world of gadgetry -- when it comes to something you wear -- is nanotech fabric. It’s amazing stuff, and it consists of particles so small you can’t even see them with your eyes that we call nanoparticles. But don’t be deceived by their small size - these are nanoparticles with enormous powers that are propelling the future of wearables.
Nanotech Fabric Revolutionizes Wearable Tech
It can do things that regular fabric could never even dream of doing. One example: nanotech fabric that can be programmed to change color with the touch of a button. That is to say, you could wear a shirt that shifts between blue, red, and green at your whim. How cool is that?
But that’s not all — Nanotech fabric is also extremely durable as well as light, making it ideal for all sorts of wearable gizmos. No matter whether it is a pair of smart glasses or a fitness tracker, nanotech fabric can make these devices easier to put on and take off, and extend wear and tear resistance.
What It Means to Have Nanotech Fabric in Wearable Tech
The implications of Nanotech fabric on wearable technology is already being felt in a big way. For instance, Sunfeng has recently released a new range of smart clothes that are constructed using a 100 percent nanotech-based fabric. Not only does the clothing look good and feel good, it also serves amazing purposes – like having sensors to register your heart rate or temperature.
But the effects of nanotech fabric are far more than skin deep. What if your phone were no longer a device you carry, but a computer you’ve connected to the big screen? With the powers of nanotech fabric, your phone could be seamlessly woven in to your shirt, and from there it’s just a touch of the fabric to make a call or send a message.
Nanotech fabric could help build better wearables
Nanotech fabric is unlocking a whole new world of wearable innovation that until now was restricted to the world of science fiction flicks. For example, Sunfeng is working on a project that will let you steer your gadgets with your mind alone. They're putting little sensors into Nanotech fabric to create a new class of devices that can respond to your thoughts and feelings.
But that is not all the meals could be.
Nanotech fabric is also being tapped to develop gadgets that'll be able to monitor your health in real-time – providing you with instantaneous feedback on your well-being. From smart socks and shoes that count your steps to shirts that measure your stress levels, the wool and cotton of the future will be imbued with tiny sensors and other microelectronics thanks to a new ultrathin, bendy cloth created by scientists.
