The new “connected” Levi , a collaboration between Android and denim maker jean jacket 's, is due to go on sale online next month . Intended for bike commuters, the smart jacket uses technology from Google ’s Android and Projects group, with sophisticated multi-touch sensors weaved into the clothing. It’s a sort of beta test to see how people will react to wearable technology embedded in their clothing, and whether they’ll actually adopt such a thing. The user can touch the jacket’s cuff and make gestures to answer calls and messages, adjust the volume, or use Google Maps , among other features. The jacket is compatible with both iOS and Google devices.
