Intelligent Clothing: Leading The New Trend Of 2016 Smart Wear

The "man God", "Tom God", has won the box office full of the "5 in the spy".

In the movie, people are also seeing the surging waves of intelligence, and the series of intelligent black technologies, which are "cool, bright, cock and deep fried". No matter whether it is the quick printing of 3D face, the computer display of paper or second, or the recognition of gait, and the unlocking of palmprint windows, all the human brain holes are opened up.

Among them, the intelligent diving suit is especially cool.

How to make clothing smart?

This diving suit is not only equipped with oxygen filling function, but also can monitor the oxygen content in the body in real time. It can also synchronize with the computer to indicate the degree of oxygen filling, so as to confirm the time of the wearer underwater and ensure safety.

Based on this kind of "super power", it makes it important to rescue the brother of Tom in the drama.

In the play, we are taking the lead. Outside the drama is also catching the eye. It makes people want to get their income in seconds, so that "my mother no longer needs to worry about my swimming will be anoxic."

Well, let's pick up today.

This is something.

The so-called smart clothing usually refers to the dual functions of perception and response. It can not only perceive changes in external environment or internal state, but also respond to such changes in real time through feedback mechanism.

This has been perfectly interpreted in his soup suit.

Then, how does the garment be "intelligent"? At present, there are two main types of fashion: one is the use of intelligent clothing materials, including shape memory materials, phase change materials, discoloration materials and stimulation - hydrogels, and the other is the introduction of sensing technology, microelectronics and information technology to people's daily wear.

It includes conductive materials, flexible sensors, low power chip technology, low-power wireless communication technology, and power supply.

Take the smart clothing "Karma Chameleon" developed by Professor Joanna Berzowska of Canada's University of collcondia, for example, the clothes can collect energy from the human body and store it, then use these energy and change their visual attributes according to the motion condition.

Its adopted

Electronic components and computing function components are directly embedded into fibers instead of simply attached to fabric surfaces.

Fibrous tissue contains multi-layer polymers, which interact with each other no matter when they contract or extend.

At the same time, the development of intelligent textile technology after more than 10 years of research has also added power to the emergence and popularization of various forms of smart clothing.

Taking the flexible sensor technology made of intelligent textile material as an example, this technology is able to pplant carbon based conductive materials onto elastic fabric substrates, and can produce electrical signals with the deformation of fabrics such as stretching and springback. Combined with the unique algorithm, the electrical signals can be analyzed and processed to realize the sensing function.

This conductive soft fabric looks like ordinary cloth, which can be washed, dried and dried, so that it can be easily made into many styles of smart clothes.

At present, the team developed the technology has developed an intelligent underpants, which can record male physiological changes, natural impulses duration, and frequency information in 24 hours according to the change of male "golden parts". Another smart bra can be used to monitor women's movement, breathing, heart rate and emotional state. An intelligent belt is also paid attention to by weight loss people. When wearing it, it can monitor its waist circumference every day, and the system will remind you to control diet and strengthen exercise.

What is the market space of smart clothing?

Then, what kind of market space is there in the field of smart clothing? What kind of business opportunities and challenges are there?

In fact, in the field of smart wear, the emergence and development of smart clothing is no longer a rare thing in science fiction.

Since the advent of wearable multimedia computer in MIT Media Lab in 1990s, scholars at home and abroad have begun to pay attention to the research of wearable technology and smart clothing.

Before 1997, that is the beginning of smart clothing development, intelligent clothing at that time did not have good wearability, only the carrier of technology value realization. Then in 2000, people began to realize the importance of integrating fashion and smart materials into smart clothing design, but the pace of research and development was relatively slow, so that the focus of smart wearer was more projected on smart wearer, smart watch and smart glasses as the carrier of clothing, and the attention to smart clothing was also weakened.

However, the huge market capacity of the clothing industry still leaves room for the smart Jew's Jedi counterattack.

Especially in recent years, the sales volume of China's clothing market is increasing year by year.

According to statistics, in 2009-2011 years, the retail sales of China's clothing market increased from 900 billion yuan to 13446 billion yuan, and the compound growth rate reached 22.25%. In 2012, the growth rate slowed down by the impact of the European debt crisis and the downward trend of the domestic macro-economic situation, which increased by only 7.83% over the same period last year.

It is expected that in the coming years, with the gradual improvement of domestic and foreign economic situation, the growth of retail sales in China's clothing market will rise to 10%-15% level.

The healthy development of the clothing market, coupled with the trend of intelligent technology, the combination of the two will undoubtedly make the prospect of "smart clothing" become "limitless".

Even compared with the general function of clothing, the price of smart clothing is higher, which does not affect its market potential.

Moreover, China is rapidly moving towards high-end luxury consumer countries, and its interest in fresh gadgets is strong.

Then, what is the smart clothing with proper function and fashion elements? Why should we not have a market?

2016 will usher in the outbreak of smart clothing industry

With Google and other technology leaders throwing their attention on smart clothing again, it coincides with the cool appearance of the Tang's diving suit. Smart clothing has already attracted the attention of the industry and the consumer market in all directions.

It is not hard to imagine that in the coming 2016, the development and sales of smart clothing will enter a new development speedway. Its light will also cover the wearer of smart watches and smart glasses, and become a representative of the new wave of development in the field of smart wear.

As predicted by Gartner's report, smart clothing will jump from the freezing state of nearly zero shipments in 2013 and 2014 to 26 million expected in 2016, becoming one of the largest shipments in the field of smart wear.

In this regard, smart watches, smart bracelet, smart glasses and other products have been developed in a short period of time. If we can not break through the technical links of the industry chain, we will inevitably be restricted in the form of product technology and form performance, which will lead to the "homogenization" of products at a certain level.

Therefore, as the undertaker of smart bracelet and other equipment, driving the wearable device continues to move forward, smart clothing will undoubtedly be the best choice.

This also means that with the rise of smart clothing, the wearable device industry will usher in a new round of development.

On the other hand, the market capacity of clothing is huge. Both the brand's market operation experience and distribution channels are relatively mature. Compared with those hardware manufacturers who have built up from scratch, they are much larger in communication and penetration.

Again, it has something to do with the attributes of the product.

Clothing is not only a necessary part of human body, but also has a closer contact with human body. For the functional realization of wearable devices, the data collected by human body is more accurate than the current algorithm, such as bracelet and watch.

This improves the user experience of wearable devices to a certain extent, and will play a positive role in the promotion and development of wearable devices.
