On November 1st news, according to the MIT Technology Review reported that the University of
Washington researchers are studying the so-called "smart fabric", they focus on the
magnetization of textiles. This textile can be a small amount of data storage can be read by the
magnetometer data stored in the internal, including the most intelligent mobile phone. This
technique may be useful for you. You can label the items in inconspicuous places, or with a shirt
or bracelet instead of the password and key card. The researchers will also magnetization line
embedded in gloves as a gesture controller of mobile phone, the fabric itself does not need any
electronic device or battery support.

The man-machine interface meeting this month held in Canada, researchers published a paper
about this project. Over the years, artists, entrepreneurial companies and many large
companies (such as Google and Levi partners' s launched Project Jacquard) are antithetical
couplet network fabrics and garments are explored. However, due to various reasons, such as
the high price, limited function and durability concerns, these attempts are still not attractive to
most consumer interest.
However, Shyam Grakota, director of the University of Washington network and Mobile
However, Shyam Grakota, director of the University of Washington network and Mobile
Systems Laboratory (Shyam Gollakota) and laboratory (Justin Chan) graduate Justin Chen
believes that their research can be used in the manufacture of smart clothing and accessories,
as it focuses on magnetic ready-made, cheaper and unobtrusive wire fabric. Although the field
strength of the line down in 1 weeks, but they found that even after cleaning, drying and ironing
the fabric, they can also use the Android intelligent mobile phone read inside the encoding data.

researchers conducting wire in the fabric embroidery, and the 0 and 1 short string encoding
into positive and negative magnet. Then, they can be a smart mobile phone placed in the
magnetization, near full data the fabric, and then read the content by using a special design.

In addition to the production of magnetic material samples, the researchers also made some
In addition to the production of magnetic material samples, the researchers also made some
can be programmed to tie, belt and bracelets and other accessories. The researchers also
used a prototype magnetic line embroidered gloves, intelligent mobile phone and found near
the sliding finger recognition and tapping gestures, by observing the change of magnetic
field in three dimensions. Researchers can make intelligent mobile phone and identify six
wearing gloves made of magnetic line gestures, but only 90% of the time to identify them.
And when the limit on the number of gestures is 4, the accuracy will be increased to 99%.
Although the magnetic line can be embroidered on the shirt cuff, with enough data encoding
instead of RFID tags, but also not like the MP3 to store the data. Gelaketa said that he and
Justin are trying to figure out how to store more data in the fabric.
