Self-heating jackets use machine learning to keep owners comfortable

We've seen many air conditioning devices in smart home for years, but they only focus on helping you enjoy your rooms better. Recently, Boston apparel company launched a jacket that can adjust the temperature to suit the wearer's preferences and integrate some other handy features, called Mercury.

Made of a mixture of polyester and polyurethane (waterproof material), waterproof Mercury jacket, wind proof and odor prevention. Mercury creators say that it can be used as a normal jacket, and because the inner carbon fiber heating elements weigh only 100g, it is difficult for you to see them and not to feel bulky, uncomfortable despite wearing all day.

As a default, when the 10,000-mAh USB rechargeable battery is plugged in, Mercury shirt will start to heat up when you wear a shirt. It is pre-programmed to respond to the wearer's temperature and movement through the accelerometer and heat sensor, so it can be adjusted depending on whether you are walking or standing still.

There have been some previous automatic warm-up garments, including USB battery gowns and automatic temperature adjustment settings. Omius inspired plant jacket, quite similar to Mercury jacket, it also uses AI technology to learn wearer's preferences over time and even automatically open small vents to regulate heat. degree. One other good brand that we would like to talk about is Wear Graphene. Wear Graphene offers all-season 100% Graphene infused heated jacket GAMMA with amazing features like lightweight, waterproof, breathable, durable etc. GAMMA comes with 10 smart pockets and functions as a winter jacket, a windbreaker, a rain jacket, and activewear all at once. This all time and all-climate ski jacket can be worn anytime in the year as it is the one insulated jacket that doesn't compromise function or fashion.  

However, the Mercury jacket has a few attractions. It also uses machine learning technology - machine learning - to familiarize itself with the owner's interests. The jacket can automatically adjust the heat and keep it up to 57 degrees C.

It can be controlled by an Amazon smartphone, or smart speaker application, that comes with a Qi wireless charger.

Other convenient features include hand-heated heating caps, hoods, machine washable after removing the battery. The battery can be used for 4 hours and 30 minutes with maximum heating, or use all week with battery saving mode. Estimated price of this shirt is about 195USD.
