Researchers in Singapore have invented "smart" clothing that can signal, while saving battery power for wireless devices such as headsets and smart watches.

Scientists at the National University of Singapore said the invention allowed wearable technology devices and sensors such as Apple and AirPods to make connections stronger, faster and more powerful. energy saving.

Assistant professor John Ho, who wears a sporty T-shirt made of metallic spun fabric, says the T-shirt increases the wireless connection of devices around him 1,000 times.

Mr. Ho leads a 10-member group developing this technology over a year ago. He said the technology could be used to measure athlete's footsteps, distance, heart rate, calories ... of patients or patients.

This technology also ensures signals are transmitted close to the body and avoid radio-thieves.

The Singapore team has received a temporary patent for fabric design that can be self-washed, self-dry and self-leveling, looking like normal clothes and at a cost of only a few dollars per meter. /.
