‘Acoustic Fabric’ Could Let You Answer the Phone With Your Shirt – CNET

A company is now currently designing a fabric that could let you control your phone or other electronics with your jacket. The material that does this could also pick up the vibrations of our skin and use that data. Some are calling it smart fabric and this would far extend this shirt design. There are many issues that we are coming across in the engineer part like sweat for an example. The same goes for loose fitting clothes.

Key Takeaways:

• Acoustic fabric will possibly let you use your phone or other electronics directly from your shirt.
• It uses a material that can send electrical signals from the shirt.
• There are still a lot of things that need to be done, but it will happen.

“The clothes we wear already pick up sound vibrations in our vicinity, but we can’t really perceive them because the rumbles operate on scales of nanometers.”
