In order to weave BB.Suit , Dutch fashion designer Borre Akkersdijk used a knitting machine in combination with a 3D printer to insert the copper wire into the fabric.
This copper wire connects to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS chips embedded inside the fabric, while the battery and the processor are hidden in the pocket, according to Wired.
However, the above clothes can not be washed, because the IC is not made to resist water, but can be replaced in case of damage.
Akkersdijk created two BB.Suit models and successfully performed at SXSW 2014 in Texas.
Akkersdijk is working with technology companies to create the basis for smart clothing, thereby improving BB.Suit's performance and, of course, making it washable.
