Jacquard by Google is your link from the physical to the digital world. Enhance your ability to stay connected through the things you love, wear, and use every day. Add a layer of interactivity directly to your favorite items, making music, navigation, and more just a gesture away. The new Jacquard app is your key to personalizing your product, tracking Jacquard activity, and picking from a growing list of abilities that keep you connected and in the moment.
Check out the abilities you can assign to gestures:
Selfie– Snapping photos and group shots are easier than ever - set your phone down and just gesture to capture the moment
