Currently, smart clothing products are mostly intended for sports and personal well-being. However, applications for everyday fashion or everyday convenience are yet to be fully explored. For instance, we can browse the internet and easily find smart yoga pants and smart fitness shirts, but it is not as easy to find clothes that can pay for our meals or adjust temperatures when worn.
