Emerging Critical Platforms Developers Should Target
Emerging Platform: Your clothing
#10 Scott eVests and Jackets:
It may be simply a bunch of threads sewn together for you, but how about technology being sewn along with the threads. This is what you may come up in your future. Already there are confirmed reports on experiments in garments to promote hacking. One such priced clothing is Scott eVests and Jackets which are mainly designed to hide wires. This means that wires from headphones will be hidden as it passes though the clothing and won’t pop out.
#11 Hammacher Schlemer:
According to Hammacher Schlemer, they have recently released a "five button control system woven into the outer sleeve." These buttons are synced with iPod so that beloved users don’t have to remove their gloves and jacket in order to change the track. Also another advantage is that the buttons lock themselves up automatically after couple of seconds, after keeping them idle.
#12 Anduino and LilyPad:
Another innovation that app developers should watch out for is the introduction of Anduino and LilyPad chip set. These chips are sewn into clothes accompanied by LEDs and software. What these chips do is that they change the color of clothes according to the owner’s mood, patterns to music or even by order. Also the chips will be incorporated with apps that can communicate with people near them.
