(Web Desk) - Google and Levis are teaming up to release world’s first ‘commuter jacket’ this year.

The denim jacket has a cuff with touch-enabled fabric, along with a Bluetooth connection to your phone that allows users to take phone calls, get directions and check the time, by tapping and swiping their sleeves.



Basically, it’s a wearable smart remote.

According to details, Jacquard works conductive materials directly into fabric to make them into gesture-aware surfaces, like covering your clothing with touchpad.

The ‘smart commuter’ will be in stores in the US fall for $35.
