The dreams of experiencing computers within your clothing could be more authentic than you think. Japanese researchers are working on printable conductive tattoo that sustains a circuit even if you grow fabric to 3 x its common length -- you have athletic products inside the cloth with invisible activity trackers, sensors and also other computing units. The inked cloth is made up of a careful mix of fluorine, a natural solvent in addition to silver flakes which usually when mixed, keeps transferring electricity even under weighty abuse.
The latest prototype to the ink is a wristband that tracks muscles movement, will be pretty elementary. You'd need much more compact circuitry ahead of your attire replaces your own step counter or smartwatch. However, it just takes 1 step for you to print the actual ink. Consequently, it'd be relatively easy to produce on the large scales you'll need for t-shirts and wristbands. Smart fitness clothing by now exists, but this new conductive cloth invention would make it both much more commercially viable as well as a heck of additional comfort.
