Poupyrev elaborated on this vision during a 20-minute Ted Talk presented as part of Ted’s annual Ted Conference hosted in Vancouver. In his speech, Poupyrev explained that by giving tailors, craftspeople, and artisans access to tiny computers, they could transform traditional tools of the trade into new kinds of hardware and computers that have never been imagined before. After all, what do tailors know about writing code, and what do coders know about sizing a perfect fit?This ongoing research is all part of Google’s Project Jacquard a venture founded by Poupyrev in 2014 that started off as an attempt to weave technology into fabric.The idea is to give craftspeople the tools they need to incorporate digital services to the items they’re already making. Poupyrev made it clear that he doesn’t want fundamentally change tried and tested items, like a jacket, into a computer first, and an article of clothing second. He wants to imbue everyday items with digital functionality.
