The tech giant Google has teamed up with jeans retailer Levi Strauss for a project to make touch sensitive clothes which is to bring a revolution into the textile world. The project Jacquard aims to bring touch goodness to fabrics. So if you want to control a device, you could control it from a track pad built into a fabric, say for example, your clothes or the arm of a sofa.
The name Project Jacquard came from Joseph Marie Jacquard, the French weaver, who invented the a mechanical loom(Jacquard loom) that could produce complexly-woven fabrics with patterns and designs.
