Electronic Wearables

Eleksen Group announced a new electronics module for FM radio and updated electronics modules for iPod and Bluetooth. Sounds like yet another electronics gadget, but these are for wearables!

Controlled by their Common Interface technology, sensors are embedded in a garment or accessory items making an electro-conductive fabric touchpad optimized for the creation of flexible, durable, and rugged fabric touch screen interfaces.

Several companies have already integrated ElekTex sensors into their clothing and backpack lines to enable their customers to control a variety of mobile entertainment and consumer electronic devices. With ElekTex, the electronic gadget is stowed safely away in a backpack or pocket, and is controlled from the sensor on a jacket sleeve or backpack handle.
