The next popular wearable device may be like this: you wear it, but no one else knows that you are using it. Experts predict that a large wave of smart fabrics and electronic textiles will replace Fitbit and Apple in the future Watch and other popular wearable devices.

Wearable Experiences is an enterprise that combines fashion and technology. Billy, the co-founder of the company Whitehouse said: "As various components become smaller, cheaper and faster, the integration of technology and fashion will become easier. In my opinion, technology and fashion are gradually unified. We are moving in a new direction, and all kinds of technology devices will become invisible."

In today's market, wearable devices seem to be deliberately highlighting their existence, and consumers are willing to use these devices to advertise themselves. Pratt Rebeccah, Associate Professor of Industrial Design at the Institute Pailes Friedman admitted: "My colleagues and I have different views on how smart fabrics will affect our future. But I have to admit that this change has begun, but we are not fully prepared."

But this does not mean that no one is working in this direction. For example, Intimacy, which is a skirt with integrated heart rate detector; And Wearable Fundwear produced by Experiences is an underwear product with sensors installed. Couples can flirt with each other remotely.

Embedding intelligent technology in clothing materials will bring a lot of convenience to the wearer. Experts predict that the future "smart clothing" will be able to detect the health and fitness data of the wearer, self clean in the sun, provide tactile feedback such as navigation, and even stabilize the temperature of the wearer.

Pailes Friedman said: "We have just experienced a cold winter. If a thin coat can actively adjust your body temperature, isolate you from the cold, so that you don't need to wear thick clothes when going out, won't you love this product? I think this is the trend in the future."

In the future, there may be clothes like this: In the future, you don't need to look down at your smartphone when you are looking for a way, you just need to look straight ahead. The clothes you wear have city maps stored inside, and there is also a GPS module. When you need to turn left, your left shoulder will shake, and vice versa. Whitehouse said that such a device would enable people to rediscover "the opportunity to truly understand the world."
