Zip takes wearable technology notches higher

Redefining wearable technology in a whole new way is Zip; a garment that explores the aesthetics and interaction of wearable technology solutions that have built-in music controls but in way never seen before. Zip goes a step further than simply take the music player’s hardware controls and replicate them on the sleeve or inside the lapel using eTextiles. In order to control the music you don’t have to press the panels but instead integrates the controls into the gestures that we already perform with our clothing. Isn’t that really awesome?

It doesn’t look like those hideous snowboard jackets or hoodies that make you look like a walking-talking music-loving circuit board. What a way to control your music…simply zip it up!
