According to ABC, Microsoft and English Fashion Designer Adrien Sauvage has worked together to developed a pair of pants that will charge a cellphone battery.
Will this revolutionize technology for our generation? It probably will not. But it definitely could make life more convenient if I can charge my phone by simply sticking it in my pocket.
This is the type of technology that will make going out to an all day event much easier. Most major comic conventions have charging stations for their patrons because it is easy to run the battery down. That valuable space could be used for other things while the patrons are carefree about their battery life.
Woven into the front pocket is the new Nokia DC-50 wireless charging plate, which grants the wearer the ability to charge a phone by simply placing it into the pocket without the worry of having to plug it in, explains Adam Johnson, Head of UK Marketing at Microsoft Mobile Devices. This technology has inductive charging, which uses an electromagnetic field to transfer electricity between two objects — in this case, the pants pocket and your phone. The wireless charger can be charged with a standard Micro USB cable, holding the charge until the pants are activated.
The pants will cost “over $340” and will be available to pre-order through Amazon soon. (ABC)
