The future of data collection and athletic performance is something that's really important. There's a growing field of smart sensors. Sensors could be woven into this technology that we're developing with FlexWeave. FlexWeave is really a method of weaving materials together and allows us to combine structure or durability into a single package that's also still lightweight and breathable. The same types of things that we record in the lab, we could then record on foot in the field. So if you have those smart fibers in the FlexWeave, if you want to track heart rate or distance or put GPS in it, you know, into those fibers, you can weave that into the fabric. The more data we have, the better we can make decisions on what types of material advances are actually making an improvement. Providing that performance benefit, even if it's just comfort to get people up and active, that's what's really important to me.
