Intel’s Smart Wearable Shirt

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/05/28/intel-shows-off-smart-wearable-shirt/

The shirt they show is very simple in its functioning and it basically streams your current heartbeat to your smartphone over Bluetooth or Wifi. For now they are focusing on cyclists apparel because as they fit close to your body and this helps the reading of the heartbeat.

As a person who did not have any contact with wearable computing I found this article very interesting. It shows some uses of the technology they already have, but they also give ideas for future uses of this technology. Being Intel a major microelectronics company and showing interest to develop this kind of technology is really impressive.
