Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Very Cool.........

    I am scared.....of the whole computer world putting chips into everything, not going into ultra-paronid....but, this chip can find out where/how/when you walk/run/jump. Very cool stuff. I think we should also move into putting these into clothing...[back2futureII]. Think of taking ALL that data [real time] and making 3D art/FX and think of new games of complete vid.games of players, on *exactly* how they move. I think it is very cool, I can see good[andbad] coming from this.
    Mr.White........whacked again.

    Re: Very Cool.........

    Of course, imagine having your clothes directly linking to your VR gaming system through a wireless ethernet connection, easily and simply to let you hook up for the latest VR multiplayer games over the net. Then imagine what it could do to the internet, CAD, Medicine and etc. Vast possibilities. I have to admit that I'm not particularly worried about big brother just yet, as long as precautions are taken against those that would use your data in a hurtful manner.
