Google's new patent: turning clothes and fabrics into virtual trackpads

As a technology giant, Google seems to have touched all the areas that we think of and can't think of, and recently a new patent applied by Google has caught our attention. Google's new patent, called "Interactive Textiles," turns any wearable fabric into a virtual touchpad, including hats, wallets, jackets, and even water.

For today's Internet of Things has become a trend, Google's patent is absolutely timely, and the ability to turn any device into a remotely operable platform is undoubtedly worthy of attention. From the perspective of patents, this interactive textile contains a conductive mesh weave, which is formed by textile to form a capacitive touch sensor that can be used for interaction.
