Google's Project Jacquard comes to life with Levi's Commuter Jacket

The first item out of Google's Project Jacquard, the initiative behind making connected wearables (and by wearables we mean clothes), is a Commuter Jacket from Levi's. It allows bikers to navigate their smartphones by simply using their sleeve as a touch sensor. The jacket has a smartphone app that'll help you communicate with your phone. It can control apps like Google Maps, Google Play, access messages and calls, among other things. You can place the sensor in any size jacket without it being uncomfortable. And you don't have to worry about its durability. You can put it in the wash like any other jacket. It'll be available in the spring of 2017 with a beta opening up in the fall of this year.
