Optimistic about the use of wearable clothing and cloth have appeared high function fiber

Electronic products can be worn on the body, namely "wearable devices" rising degree of concern. Among them, considered to be the "mainstream", is equipped with the function of electronic smart clothing. The reason is that if the wearable device to people's daily dress as the prototype, wearing little feeling, is expected to be accepted by more people.

For example, high transportation company in December 2014 launched the "C3fit IN-pulse", the smart clothing in the sportswear embedded electrode, can easily measure the heart rate during exercise. 3 a snap fastener will be small wireless transmitter fixed near the heart position with C3fit IN-pulse and therefore will not impede movement, can automatically to smart phones and other devices to send real-time measurement data. The company called "wearable electrocardiograph".

The electrode is used in Dongli, NTT (NTT) development and NTT DoCoMo common hitoe". The hitoe is made of conductive polymer PEDOT-PSS into 700nm diameter polyethylene terephthalate fiber. Both as a conductive electrode and work as elastic and soft of clothing.

Follow the scalability of body movements

In order to realize the intelligent clothing, and other similar hitoe high functional materials also has emerged. Some sensor, wiring and electrode as in the intelligent clothing work clothes, and nondestructive function and appearance of fiber and fabric etc.. For example, YAMAHA developed with excellent elastic displacement sensor (Figure 2). Imagine equipped with shirt and gloves, used to measure the body movements (motion sensing). YAMAHA plans to offer the electrode and a wireless signal transmitter installed in the displacement sensor on the development kit in the near future to start.
