Google has long since been working on wearable technologies that we can use in our day to day lives. To that end, they've been perfecting the Jacquard smart jacket, alongside jeans manufacturer Levi's. Now, the jacket even has a way to remind you not to forget your phone.
The feature, called Always Together, is an alert that automatically triggers whenever your jacket and phone move too far away from each other. When that happens, your phone is pinged with a notification, and the Jacquard's sleeve tag (which houses the button-sized chip and other electronics) blinks and vibrates.
This feature is in addition to other existing tricks up the jacket's sleeve (sorry, not sorry), including basic touch controls for your smartphone, music playback buttons, and even map pin-drops.
Of course, the Jacquard still costs a hefty $350 (approximately Rs 25,400) which is a lot to pay for a jacket. Then again, what other item of clothing you can buy also doubles as a remote for your playlist?
