'Smart' shirt from Ralph Lauren
We all know Polo Ralph Lauren for their polo shirts, but with the new PoloTech shirt, the brand is taking wearable technology to a whole new, more fashionable, level.
The new shirt features silver threads and an accelerometer that measure biometrics including heart rate, breathing, calories burned, steps taken, and activity level transmitting the data to your smart phone or tablet. The company has also taken the technology to the next level, offering a virtual trainer to leverage those metrics toward the optimum workout.
And yes, I gave it a try and got a great workout with the app adjusting the workout based on my performance every step of the way.
