Designer Ivan Poupyrev wants to integrate technology into everyday objects to make them more useful and fun -- like a jacket you can use to answer phone calls or a houseplant you can play like a keyboard. In a talk and tech demo, he lays out his vision for a physical world that's more deeply connected to the internet and shows how, with a little collaboration, we can get there. Unveiled in this talk: Poupyrev announces that his newest device, Jacquard, is now publicly available for all designers to use.

Ivan Poupyrev: Everything around you can become a computer

Everything around you can become a computer

Ivan Poupyrev introduces Jacquard, a device turning everyday objects into interactive, digital interfaces, merging the physical and digital.

By weaving technology into textiles, a jacket can control presentations, phones, and music, redefining fashion's functional frontier.

Poupyrev envisions a future where all objects are 'computers,' enhancing our interaction with the world without screens or keyboards.
