A first of its kind shirt comes with an inbuilt chip on the cuff that can be programmed by downloading the Arrow mobile app on a near field communication (NFC)-enabled smartphone.
“Fashion and technology that operated independently in the past are now becoming eloquently intertwined with each other and we are glad to be a leader in this space today. We want to change the way we interact with our clothes and the launch of the Smart Shirt is a strategic step towards building innovation in the retail segment, ” Managing Director and CEO, Arvind Lifestyle Brands Ltd, J Suresh said in an official statement.
The Smart Shirt allows the wearer to share things like his LinkenIn profile, his Facebook profile or visiting card through a tap on the shirt’s cuff with a smartphone. Among other functions it performs are connecting via Bluetooth to play your favourite songs on the phone or switching your phone to ‘meeting mode’.
