Microsoft is increasingly interested in the wearables industry. So the company, apart from investing in the intelligent Band Wristband, is also looking for new ways to innovate.
And one possible way to do this is to create smart clothes that will be able to identify the feelings of the person wearing them and react accordingly.
Microsoft is considering making such clothing with what it calls system circuit of soft cells that will be connected to sensors to read information such as temperature and heart rate so they can identify sudden changes in someone's emotions.
The collection of this data will help in estimating the user's emotional state.
The emotional state will be determined by a connected device such as a mobile phone, which will then be able to send instructions to the smart clothes on how to react based on those feelings.
For example, if you feel cold, the smart garment could warm you up, or you could start playing relaxing music if you find you are angry.
All of the above was recently filed in a patent by Microsoft. Of course it's still an idea and maybe slowWe're yet to see it on store shelves, but it shows how Redmond dreams of it development of wearables.
