Computex 2011:AIQ TouchMan手套,可以讓你直接操控iPhone


****
這一攤位其實不大,但若經過的話,你一定會注意到。因為這攤所展的東西,主要是衣物、包包以及手套,在產品種類上與其他廠商很有差異。雖然說這攤與紡織比較有關係,但隨著現代科技的進步,有些東西會與數位產品產生關聯。AiQ Smart Clothing就是這樣一系列的東西,其中的TouchMan,也就是上圖的手套,大概最容易被注意到。

Computex 2011: AIQ TouchMan Gloves

It is hard not to be drawn attention to this booth if one saw it in a trade show that is generally about computing and related technologies. Clothes, bags and gloves, these seemly more appropriate display for a textile tradeshow are actually a reflection how ordinary daily items are influenced by modern digital technologies. And the AiQ Smart Clothing series is one of the finest example of such, and TouchMan gloves, as shown in the photo above, is probably the most noticeable one out of the series.

That is because, it is a pair of gloves that you don't need to take off to use iPhone (or to be exact, any capacitive type touchpad.)

As for other textile product on display, they quite obvious once being seen, clothes, bags and shoes with LED lights. These seemly easily sewn and done things however, are more than just sewn and done things. According to the manufacturer, in order for these textile materials with LED inside to withstand being washed regularly, there were quite some efforts being putted into the development and manufacturing process. The gloves in comparison, required less know-how even though it is the most attention grabbing item on display.

因為它就是戴上手套仍然可以使用iPhone(或是更精確一點來說,就是電容式觸控板)的解決方案。



至於其他部分,很明顯可以看得出來,就是在衣物、包包或是鞋子上等處裝上LED燈。這表面上看起來是很簡單的事情,不過要先注意的是,裝上這LED燈,還要可水洗,洗了一百次都還不會壞,就不是那麼單純將LED燈裝上去而已。廠商還提到,事實上,這需要一定程度的技術,反而手套是其中技術成份比較低,不過手套所吸引到的目光也是最多的。
