After the smart wearable, what is the next "smart XX"? Google tells you that the answer may be smart fabric. Google recently announced that it will work with Levis to advance the ProjectJacquard project. This black technology, which was overlooked by many people at this year's I/O conference, is now trying to put real smart interaction into our denim jacket.
In fact, the concept of "smart fabric" is no stranger. As early as 2014, RalphLauren launched a smart sports t-shirt called PoloTechShirt at the US Open.
Specifically, the PoloTechShirt looks really tall: silver threads are used in the fabric to allow the sensor to collect data in real time as the athletes exercise. However, compared to the "smart" of the clothes itself, the core of the PoloTechShirt is "outside" - a box for the T-shirt, which contains an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a heart monitor, and the clothes are cleaned each time. I need to take it out.
Despite some opportunistic tricks, the emergence of PoloTechShirt is enough for ordinary consumers to see the concept of smart fabrics. Then, in 2015, Disney and StudioXO teamed up with Richard Nicoll to put the LED on the T-stage, making it possible for the "Little Fairy to shine" clothes. Similar to the luminaires designed by CuteCircuit - not only to illuminate, but also to display Twitter notifications via Bluetooth, and even to Bluetooth. But all this is the external intelligence, not the intelligence of the knit material itself. Turn . In such a big context, Google ProjectJacquard came into being.
As the technical project leader for Google's ATAP division, Ivan Poupyrev has focused on UI design and interactive technology for many years, while Paul Dillinger, global product innovation director at Levis, is interested in the combination of smart fabrics and technology. They want to launch a true smart jacket in 2017 – smart starting with textile fabrics. In other words, the ProjectJacquard project has to combine conductive fibers and textile raw materials, so that when manufacturing clothes, manufacturers can weave these “same-like†conductive fibers together like cotton, hemp and wool. And coloring... And wearing the clothes it makes, you can manipulate the electronic devices by touching and tapping, such as playing music and answering calls.
Yes, the smart fabric that Google wants is a real piece of cloth. It can be washed and worn often. This is the real clothes. So why is Google?
"The person who invented the technology is not necessarily the one who uses the technology," said Paul Dillinger. Levis chose to work with Google not because he couldn't get involved in the field. "It doesn't mean you can do it... do what you do best, This is the key to success." In this regard, IvanPoupyrev's views are quite similar: "We don't want to make our own clothes. What we want to do is help the industry to produce clothes."
Self-adhesive labels are very popular in this field, not only because they can be pasted, printed and designed, but more importantly, electronic products need to use labels to achieve some specific effects. For example, the label texture is strong, can be well matched with electrical appliances, or the label can resist the corrosion of the external environment, high temperature resistance, etc. Often in different parts of an electrical product, several forms of labeling materials need to be used. The huge development of the electronic industry, especially in South and East China, accounts for a large proportion of exports, which is the main area driving the consumption of sticker labeling materials. As in other fields, the labeling materials used in the electronic industry generally have high requirements. Many multinational companies have their own strict testing methods, such as stickiness, scratch resistance, temperature resistance and so on. But in general, many enterprises have put forward the requirements of labeling materials with UL certification.
At present, glue, soft, concave, convex, screen printing mutual combination of equipment will be the traditional label and trademark products pushed to a new height; The digital system opens a new market for labels and trademarks. At present, the key to the further development of the domestic label printing market does not lie in whether the industry is to copy the main genre of "flexo printing" in Europe and the United States or the main genre of "letterpress printing" in Japan, but in how to combine the national conditions and according to the nature of the commodity itself. Features to choose or combine a high cost - effective printing process and the corresponding equipment system. Because, under certain conditions, the quality of the self-adhesive stickers printed with various modern printing technologies can hardly be distinguished, and the difference lies in the adaptability of the process route and the income of input and output.
