Google I/O 2015: ATAP brings Project Ara, Project Soli, and more
The Advanced Technology and Projects Division(ATAP) brought some of their latest innovations to Google I/O 2015, and they're quite awe-inspiring.
For a time, it seemed Google I/O would be bereft of what had initially seemed most exciting about it. Project Ara and everything else Google’s ATAP (Advanced Technology and Projects) division has been working on. And then came a shining light as the conference progressed. ATAP has been working overtime, and they had a bunch of projects to announce.Project JacquardProject Jacquard made an entrance; new innovation the likes of which we’ve come to expect from ATAP. This is an attempt to make smart fabric, by integrating conductive threads into fabric. Sensors and miniature circuits integrated into clothing, allowing us to, in future, possibly control our smart devices via our clothing. Imagine using your shirt to interact with your phone menus, answering a call by tapping your pocket. All this and more can be possible. And Google has announced a partnership with Levi Strauss, allowing for joint research to build smaller circuits, and have them embedded in clothing. Watch the video below, and try to tell me it doesn’t speak of the future.
