Work has also been done on a jacket that lights up ideal for people who cycle at night and need to be seen on the roads. Sport is also included in this world of wearable computers. A special material that is similar to shark skin can help swimmers move through the water. Trainers are available that change the level of support to the foot as the runnerr moves.
