The Function Of Olympic Smart Clothes Is Different For Sports Teams.

Rio 2016

Brazil in South America is spreading like a raging fire.

For possible

Some sports teams wore special antiviral clothing.

It is said that this fabric uses anti microbial technology to resist mosquito bites.

In addition to the "mosquito repellent" role, researchers and designers are also trying to invent more new materials and develop wearable device technology, so that clothing has multiple functions.

For example, it can provide a mechanical cooling function while providing a power suit for mobile charging function; record sports data in real time, and give feedback and recommended fitness clothes; detect body size and fat weight of "test suits"; change colors of clothes according to users' mood or willingness to change colors; even help people with the surrounding scenery integrated into the "invisible cloak" and so on.

In the foreseeable future, will smart clothing become a compact, light and power saving multifunctional practical equipment?

You can enjoy music by touching the cuffs.

There is such a coat, it can be used to play music, can also measure pulse and blood pressure, and can adjust the warmth according to the change of the external climate, forget the key when going out, or drop the wallet on the floor, it can also send a reminder in time.

Recently, Google Corporation and a clothing brand cooperation, launched a smart jacket.

This doesn't look like two kinds of ordinary clothes, but it actually concealed mystery.

It allows the wearer to appreciate music, receive phone calls and get navigation information just by touching the cuffs of the sliding jacket.

Besides being suitable for outdoor riders, this smart jacket can also be used for different occupations, such as security guards, cleaning staff, etc.

R & D personnel introduced that the cuff area with multi touch sensors is "light, flexible and elastic", which is not significantly different from the normal clothes.

Moreover, it can be properly cleaned, "just remove the electronic tags."

This tag is connected with LED components, tactile elements, batteries and sensors, which can be dismantled and charged at any time.

What is more attractive to lazy people is a pair of sneakers that can automatically tie shoelaces.

The running logic is basically: installing a small motor on the two sides of the shoelace on both sides of the shoe, the sensor of the motor and the sole together; the sensor records the key data such as the weight, the foot position and the gravity center of the shoe; according to the data sent by the sensor, the motor will tighten the shoelace like the spool of the fishing rod, so as to achieve the effect of automatically tie the shoelace.

Theoretically, as long as sensors, batteries and power plants are properly done, the technology can be successfully applied to clothing and make clothing more intelligent and more functional.

Monitoring heartbeat and blood pressure, giving nursing advice.

It is estimated that in 2016, the number of smart clothing shipments will reach 26 million, which will become the largest wearable device.

Taking into account the need for clothing for men, women and children, smart clothing is expected to become truly "Muji" for extracting big data from human beings.

A laboratory in Brussels, Belgium, is developing a fashion leading fashion.

The biggest highlight of this garment is that it has the functions of medical monitoring and so on.

The most close to the body of a layer, can monitor the body's heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature and so on.

The inner layer of the clothes is equipped with a plurality of sensors, which can also monitor the environmental changes sensitively, and perceive the changes of day and night by monitoring the change of light.

In the US, similar basic clothing has gone out of the laboratory.

According to reports, a technology company launched a "rib cotton knitted sweater".

In fact, it consists of conductive fibers and cotton fibers, which can be embedded into sensors and receive data to monitor the life characteristics of the wearer.

Once the wearer is suffering from heart attack or collapse, he will call the police in time.

In China, the smart clothing, which can collect the physiological condition of the driver's body temperature, breathing and body posture, was officially unveiled at the 2016 Guiyang international big data Expo.

Research and development personnel said that smart clothing can not only connect the data of the car, but also bring together the driver's data and environmental data.

By returning the driver's physiological data, it can be judged whether there are fatigue driving, drunk driving, telephone driving while driving.

The simulated driving showed that the driver had five speedups, five speeding, two brakes, two sharp turns, two turns and a turn signal.

Comprehensive environment and other factors, the driver finally got 3.8 points.

This score is expressed in red, indicating that there is a certain danger.

Take up the spray and spray out the fitting clothes.

With the integration of mobile power, sports bracelet, portable fan and other functions, will smart clothes become cumbersome? With the development of wearable technology, this problem is expected to be solved step by step.

Researchers at Ohio State University have been able to embroider circuits into cloth with a precision of 0.1 millimeters.

Such high accuracy makes it possible to integrate sensors, memory and other electronic devices into clothing.

In order to increase the accuracy of embroidery technology as much as possible, it is usually necessary to use pure silver thread.

However, pure silver wire does not provide the surface conductivity, unlike the thick wire, so the researchers turn the pure silver line into an embroidered shape, thereby improving the electrical conductivity of the surface and enhancing the performance of the antenna or sensor.

Previously, researchers used 0.5 millimeter diameter silver plated polymer wires, each of which was wrapped by 600 finer filaments.

The new line now has a diameter of 0.1 millimeters, with only 7 filaments.

Each filament is copper in the middle and silver on the outside.

Intelligent materials emerge in an endless stream, not only that.

Get up in the morning, pick up a can of spray, face your body, you can directly "spray" the desired clothing.

Besides, you don't have to worry about wearing too many clothes, because it can increase warmth or air permeability as the outside temperature rises or decreases.

Such a scenario may be realized by means of a bacterium.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology team hopes to introduce Bacillus subtilis, a microorganism that expands and shrinks according to atmospheric moisture and skin sweat, as a nano actuator to respond to changes in body temperature and humidity.

The active nanometers can be made into biofilms and printed on spandex.

In a large humidity environment, synthetic biological skin can respond, causing the skin flap around the hot area to open, so as to achieve the best ventilation effect.

In fact, today's researchers are no longer satisfied with the development of just beautiful or organic fabrics, and are committed to developing various functions of the fabric itself, such as the intelligent response to smell and color.

Perhaps the most surprising and anticipated thing is "invisibility cloak".

In 2012, a Canadian Biotech Corp said that "quantum stealth" material could achieve "completely invisible" effect by refraction of surrounding light.

Recently, the research team of Queen Marie College of University of London has sprayed a nanoparticle material on the surface of the object, which will eventually "completely disappear".

Perhaps these new materials may soon be used to make "stealth clothes".

Pursue "cooler" and don't forget to be dirty.

In the future, smart clothing will be a huge market covering billions of people and millions of applications.

However, at present, smart clothes on the market are mostly integrated with a variety of sensors, that is, electronic devices are mainly placed on clothing.

Next, how to make sensors, wires and insulated wires in clothing fibers to make smart clothing more lightsome and durable, and highlight the health adjustment function is the focus of attention for researchers and designers.

"A trend of change in the clothing industry is that technology will become the core of fashion."

Wang Xinxi, senior commentator of TMT (technology, media and communications) industry, believes that

The essence is to combine the real world with the virtual world, just like adding a "menu" to traditional costumes. People can connect to the Internet and reality scenes through this menu to achieve free communication.

However, unlike foreign smart clothing, which focuses on sports and health, more attention is focused on the intellectualization of life scenes in China.

Therefore, smart clothing is also looking for "cool", "more sensitive" and "more changeable". At the same time, do not forget the comfort, at least to be resistant to dirty.
