Tomorrow's clothes will be intelligent

Tomorrow, your clothing will detect if your body temperature is giving signs that you are getting sick, and make contact with the doctor for you. Your suitcase will let you know what clothes it contains. In the field of "i-wear", literally intelligent clothing, everything is possible. A variety of innovative products are already available on the market today, such as stockings that hydrate and energize the leg, stain-proof ties, antibacterial socks, UV-resistant swimwear… But certain advanced research centres are bringing together partners from the worlds of computing, telecommunications, electronics, chemistry, textiles and fashion to imagine the clothing of the future, that will be both intelligent and communicative. At the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), researchers are working on developing smart clothes that keep their wearer in permanent contact with the world via all the media imaginable. Students will particularly like the glasses with a built-in screen and Internet access. With these glasses on, it's impossible to get lost: wherever you are, you can always connect to a navigation aide that will show a local map and directions! This kind of clothing will allow us to be totally interconnected. With the development of speech recognition and intelligent agents, clothes will become more and more like personal assistants. The clothing of the future will be like an interactive second skin combining various resources (energy source, memory, communication tools) and acting as the interface between an individual and their environment. Eventually, it could become a "symbiotic extension" of the human being. AgentLand brings you a vision of the future made of wool, fibres and microprocessors.
