Connected Clothing

Last Friday, Google announced Project Jacquard, an initiative to design and experiment with smart clothing using conductive yarn and woven multitouch panels.

Levi’s has become the first clothing partner in the movement and hopes that with this new type of wearable people will spend more time interacting with the real world and less time looking at their phone.

Imagine if by touching your jacket sleeve or pressing a pocket a phone is silenced – or a tap

on the waistband scrolls througb your music library.

OneSong

Your photo, video and message galleries are powered by your social network, so why not your music?

This platform aims to make music social by allowing users to post “their song” – one at a time – to their network. As friends do the same, an “of the moment” playlist is created for you to enjoy.

The social music app is currently available for free, powered by Spotify Premium iOS devices.

Users describe the platform as “Instagram and Spotify’s cute little baby”…

Augmented vision could be coming to your vehicle sooner than you think. MINI is working on tech that could help you parallel park, see blindspots and have directions suspended on the road.

In a future-world of self-driving cars, it will be interesting to see how this fits in – and if the accessory, which is being billed as a lifestyle item, catches on.

Here Active Listening System

Via Kickstarter, Doppler Labs have introduced a Here Active Listening System which uses earbuds to control how you hear the environment you’re in.

It connects wirelessly to your smartphone for easy access to filters, presets and sound effects that can change the volume and way you experience concerts, stadiums and even your daily commute – perhaps making it somewhat bearable.

Prototypes have been tested at Coachella, as well as by composer Hans Zimmer and musicians Charles Yang and Tessa Lark.

Smell Maps

Kate McLean and other scientists are designing “smell maps” to visualize areas of most odor-fixing need. It’s a way to visualize / celebrate a sense that is often overlooked in urban planning.

Imagine if sound maps were also part of a city planning toolkit – a way to visualize the volume and quantity of sounds in a given area. Can you imagine what NYC would look like in that context? Most likely, loud!

The Contagious Billboard

Another morning, another early commute for Brazilians. Using hidden motion sensor technology, this multi-sensory billboard created by Lew’Lara TBWA for Café Pelé couldn’t help but get a reaction.

It monitors the people traffic around it, yawning at the most optimum time to trigger a yawn in others. The point? They sure could use some coffee right now – which was brought out by some pretty brand ambassadors.

How could billboards utilize sound to get a reaction in unexpected places?
