This project is a part of Living Lab Nieuw-west. The Living Labs put innovative technology to practice in a test environment.
A trial version is already available this year.
Google and Levi's have developed a smart denim jacket together. The jacket will be available in spring 2017, but a trial version is already available this year. That has been announced by Google at its annual developer conference Google I / O.
The jacket features a smart sleeve. The person who wears the jacket can sweep over the sleeve or tap on it. In this way you can pick up the phone or play a song for example. The jacket can be washed like any jacket, and can be charged with an USB charger. The jacket can be connected to services such as Spotify, by means of an associated app. The platform is also open to developers, so the possibilities can be expanded even further.
The collaboration between Levi's and Google, Project Jacquard, was announced last year by the two companies. So far, however, there was no tangible product revealed.

A suburb in Helmond called Brandevoort will be transformed into the ‘ smartest’ neighborhood in terms of housing and sustainability.
Besides this, the suburb will showcase innovations in the field of mobility, health and social cohesion. The municipality of Helmond announced the plan 'Brainport Smart Village', in which Helmond invites the business community and regional partners to create a laboratory for testing smart city technology.
City of the future
According to the municipality ‘ de Marke’ the part of Brandevoort that still needs to be developed, is the ideal place for a living lab for the city of the future. This new part offers space for 500 to 1.500 homes. Helmond expects to begin with the implementation of specific plans for the smart district in 2017.
The Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in Smart Mobility need to keep Helmond accessible. In addition, innovations in food technology should lead to healthy food choices. In the field of sustainable housing, the municipality sees most opportunities for geothermal and solar fields to keep the energy use of homes low. Plans are now being further developed together with local partners. Read more information.
