Project Jacquard is a wearable technology project that embeds conductive yarns into fabrics to enable touch-sensitive interactions. It was developed by Google's ATAP department to create garments that can control smartphone functions through gestures without making people feel uncomfortable wearing them. The conductive yarns are woven into fabrics using standard industrial looms and can be incorporated with different fiber types. This allows for large-scale production of interactive textiles for uses in clothing, toys, furniture and more.

3. What is jacquard
Jacquard is a type of
weaving which is invented
by
- Joseph Marie Jacquard.

4. What is Project Jacquard
 It is a wearable technology revealed a new vision for
wearable technology that won't make you feel lame to
wear. The effort in inventing this consists of two
separate-but-related ventures: ProjectJacquard, with an
assist from Project Soli.
 Founder of this project is Ivan Poupyrev

5.  The brainchild of Google’s Advanced Technology
and Progress (ATAP) department, Project Jacquard
was announced at their I/O developer conference in
San Francisco
 Google’s Project Jacquard is experimenting with
conductive threads woven into garments that
transform nearly any area into a touch sensitive
panel much like the screen on your smartphone.

6.  They form a new innovation involving special fabrics
woven with conductive yarns and motion sensors.

7. How Is It Made
 Spinning Conductive Yarn
 Weaving Interactive Textiles
 Embeding Electronics
 Producing at scale

8. Spinning Conductive Yarn
 Jacquard yarn structures
combine thin, metallic alloys
with natural and synthetic yarns
like cotton, polyester, or silk,
making the yarn strong enough
to be woven on any industrial
loom.
 Jacquard yarns are
indistinguishable from the
traditional yarns that are used
to produce fabrics today.

9. weaving interactive textiles
 Using conductive yarns, bespoke
touch and gesture-sensitive areas
can be woven at precise locations,
anywhere on the textile.
 Alternatively, sensor grids can be
woven throughout the textile,
creating large, interactive
surfaces.

10. Embeding Electronics
 Developed innovative techniques to attach the
conductive yarns to connectors and tiny circuits
 These miniaturized electronics capture touch
interactions
 Captured touch and gesture data is wirelessly
transmitted to mobile phones or other devices to
control a wide range of functions

12. Producting on Scale
 Jacquard components are cost-efficient to produce,
and the yarns and fabrics can be manufactured with
standard equipment used in mills around the world.
 One loom can generate as many different textile
designs as there are people on the planet. Now that
same loom can also weave in interactivity.

13.  unlikely existing conductive threads project jacquard yarn
works with different fibers ...wool,silk, polyester,cotton
and comes in a full range of colors
 Levis and denim have made a contract with google for
this project

14. How Is It used
 While initially geared towards clothing, Google
documents also mention that it could be used for
toys, furniture, and construction materials.
 it can moniter heart rate and our body
temperature.

15.  it is used in enabling smart phone activity with
hardware music control.
 it is usedin sending short messages.
