One of the recent CEATEC innovations we neglected to tell you about was the wearable computer called TextileNet from Kanazawa University. The rather funny image above was created by the research group to illustrate the difficulties of current wearable computers compared to TextileNet.

Embedded in the jacket are a power supply and communications unit that operate via conductive fabric. More applications and fabric variations are planned, but for now the research is limited to this fancy Willy Wonka style jacket with a geek lining.
