Escada, a Swedish clothing brand, plans to start selling garments with smart sensors by the end of 2017. The sensors, which are installed in the fabric, will detect the wearer's fatigue levels and can even send that data to their smartphones.


The SmartTrack fabric is being marketed as something that makes your clothing smart and helps it adapt to your body. The sensor in each garment is located below a woman's breasts and can stay active for 10 hours.


"We are always looking for innovative solutions to solve our customers' problems," a spokesperson for H&M told The Sun. "As part of our mission to create sustainable fashion for a more sustainable future, we are constantly looking for new ways to reduce the amount of energy we consume. Our aim is to create sustainable clothing without having to sacrifice style."


Smart watches

Fitness-tracking bands and smartwatches with screens have been around for some time, but not many are much good. The G Watch R from LG and Samsung Gear Live from Samsung are both solid Android Wear devices with the ability to check email, listen to music and perform a number of other tasks.


LG announced the G Watch R smartwatch a few months ago, and it will be available in the U.S. in July for $300. Samsung's Gear Live is slated for release at the end of the summer for $349.


Both smartwatches have a screen and, like all smartwatches, they are designed for tracking your fitness. Samsung added heart rate monitoring and resistance for activity tracking, as well as a special feature that lets you play games without touching your phone.

U.S.AT) subsidiary OneWeb announced in February its plan to launch a broadband satellite service by the end of 2019. The OneWeb satellite network would be used to provide Internet access around the world.


OneWeb's fleet of low-orbit satellites would be tethered to the ground by antennas, enabling their transmissions to be shared by multiple users. OneWeb plans to partner with major wireless carriers to make those connections available to billions of consumers.


The company said it would create a network of satellites in low-Earth orbit that could deliver "high-speed Internet access around the world."


But one company with potentially better technology is Aira, a startup with headquarters in San Francisco. The company's smart glasses (pictured) can read facial expressions to help the visually impaired.


The glasses are made from scratch-resistant plastic and are available in various sizes, from small (about the size of a smartphone) to large, and cost $895. Aira said the glasses also feature cameras and an integrated processor that use artificial intelligence to understand gestures, location, and body movement.


Many thought the company, founded in 2013, was vaporware, but CEO Ronen Luzon recently confirmed the glasses have gone into production. Aira said it expects to ship the glasses in 2017.


Robotic shoes

Walking in shoes that don't allow for proper footing is uncomfortable for anyone, but it's especially difficult for the disabled. A company called Zenno released the first self-balancing electric shoes for people who are visually impaired or use wheelchairs.


The shoe has wheels in the heel and toe, which enable the wearer to walk, as well as motors at the heel and toes that generate the energy to propel the wearer forward. The shoes have built-in sensors that enable the wearer to "see" obstacles and steer clear of them.


Zenno said the shoes are designed to stay in a flat, heel-to-toe position, so they will not damage a disabled person's shins or knees. The shoes, which cost $350 each, have a battery life of 20 hours, which means they can be used outside of the home, or they can be recharged via a port at the back of the shoes.


The shoes won an award from Time and have been featured in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. The company said it plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign in the next month and expects to ship the shoes in the fourth quarter of this year.
