GRAPHENE MAKES WEARABLE COMPUTERS A POSSIBILITY

In the future everyone wears spandex and tinfoil on their clothes. Right?
Ok maybe not. If smartphones and smart watches make sense, why not smart clothes? Well there’s a problem: computers require conductive material, while clothes require lightness and flexibility. The Venn diagram for those two don’t overlap much.
GraphExeter expands that overlap. Made of graphene, an incredible, conductive, transparent material, Graphexeter is the perfect thing to, say, embed a computer into a jacket, a solar panel into a hat, or an e-reader onto a sleeve.
Such tech-clothes could be in stores in a few years. Spandex & tinfoil optional.
