At least that’s what Intel’s thinking. The chip maker used Re/code’s Code Conference to [show off a smart T-shirt](http://recode.net/2014/05/28/intel-bets-its-smart-shirt-on-the-future-of-wearables-video/ "undefined") that can track your heart rate and other health data. As [The Next Web explains](http://thenextweb.com/insider/2014/05/28/intel-aiq-planning-release-smart-shirt-summer/?utm%5Fcontent=Intel%20and%20AIQ%20are%20planning%20to%20release%20a%20%E2??smart%20shirt%E2??%20this%20summer&utm%5Fcampaign=Twitter%20Publisher&awesm=tnw.to%5Fb4f0I&utm%5Fsource=t.co&utm%5Fmedium=referral "undefined"), Intel partnered with smart clothing firm [AiQ](http://www.aiqsmartclothing.com/ "undefined") to design the sensor-laden shirt. The shirt’s electronics live in a separate box that you can unplug when it’s laundry time. There’s no word on pricing, but Intel says the shirt will become an actual product this summer. And don’t worry; [according to Engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/28/intel-wearable-shirt/ "undefined"), Intel envisions all kinds of other places for wearables, including “eyes, ears, wrist and torso.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/126945/intel-smart-wearable-shirt/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/126945/intel-smart-wearable-shirt/"},"headline":"Intel Shows Off Health-Tracking Smart Shirt","datePublished":"2014-05-28T17:39:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:02:20.924Z","description":"Insert corny \"wearable\" joke here.","url":"https://time.com/126945/intel-smart-wearable-shirt/","keywords":["Tech","Wearables","Clothing","Intel"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jared Newman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jared-newman/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/126945/intel-smart-wearable-shirt/","name":"Intel Shows Off Health-Tracking Smart Shirt"}}]}] ```
