Project Jacquard by ATAP at I/O 2015

2015-05-29
hey it's Josh Flagg are from Andhra thority what's going on everybody and behind me here at Google i/o 2015 I am looking at eight tab now a temp is a wing of Google's developmental strategy that creates certain projects like project tango that I showed you last year where you had a tablet or you can actually see using all of the sensors a depth sensor as well you can actually map out to the entire area of a place you can see that video from last year they have the same exact kind of demo here which is a couple of more in use case scenarios but this particular video I wanted to show you a project jacquard which is another example of what Google is trying to do to move forward in the world of tech to not only bring tech to everybody but also to evolve it so that it is accessible for everybody we saw that with VR already and now we're seeing that with a melding of tech and fashion yes behind me at you're going to be seeing in a number of Clips right now we have little chips a sewn into actual fabrics that should become ostensibly tech clothing now clothing and clothing and fashion and tech have always been sort of melded together we have a lot of clothes out there that already read let's say biometrics and whatnot but there's a different take on that particular premise right here and it involves input now you can already see in this fabric already that there is very visibly a a little chip that's there but it's also woven into the actual fabric itself that has to be stitched or woven together in a very particular kind of pattern and that is the surface on which it will take all the input there were a lot of examples here and as they showed at the a tab talk this morning they want to show a bunch of different use case scenarios not only using input for being able to change let's say the music on your phone but also there was a display here that showed just how the algorithm shows your touch is on the screen and you can see that right now the Android angle on this of course is the fact that you would be able to use this input in order to control your Android device and google play music was the example that they had of course on here but there are other uses on it as well and if you put bringing the IOT example there were actually some bold we're hanging from above the example and by pressing and swiping a certain number of ways on that little piece of fabric that's woven in a certain fashion then you would be able to change the color dim the lights or even turn them off so really the idea here is melding together a piece of technology into a piece of clothing so that it doesn't really take away from the look of the clothing the clothing will just remain the way that it is but aside from just having sensors for various types of purposes like let's say knowing how many drinks you drink one day is an example that I heard earlier or knowing just how far you want if you want to look at biometrics this could be another way of using that's a fashion and fashion so I fitness inside of fashion using a little bit of tech rather than having to wear something like this polar monitor that I have right here you could probably have it already woven into your clothing and it would not only be able to take your biometrics but it would take some input as well so kind of eliminating certain pieces of accessories or fashion by making the fashion we wear everyday in the fashion we need to wear everyday accessible in the tech world so this was just a really nice example project to cart you want to bring you a quick look at it they already had the a tab talked this morning but they had examples right here at the a tab area so I wanted to make sure to show you how cool it is in an actual video nonetheless a type is really working on some pretty awesome stuff project your card is just one of them project tango is way back there and you will see probably a little bit more from them and hopefully this kind of stuff will be available soon they already announced that one of the partners that they're working with among many others was Levi's so imagine having some jeans that already have some input on there so you don't even have to take your phone now you can just pause your music by tapping a small part on your jeans I'd be pretty awesome but in any case keep it tuned to android authority for even more the Joshua Vergara reporting to you live from google i/o 2015 here at the moscone center in san francisco
