Interactive Textiles Used To Improve Human Performance

interactivetextiles.jpg

CSIRO of Australia are embedding technology into wearable textiles in an effort to help people improve their performance. You train the apparatus to recognize the ideal movement for an activity so that it can detect variations in movement that are not ideal. The device plays a set of audible beats to help you improve your performance. Shooting hoops was the first activity discussed, but it could be used for any activity. I'm sure athletes will be the first segment interested in the technology, but I could see it helping just about everyone. Imagine your intelligent workout clothes guiding you into proper form for any exercise. Love it. from gizmodo.com
