My T-shirt tells me things.

My heart rate, for instance: 62 beats a minute. And my breathing: 17 breaths a minute.

My T-shirt is connected to me and also to the internet. So along with an iPhone app, it can remind me to take a breath, relax, chill.

Seriously. The T-shirt I'm wearing was made by OMsignal of Montreal. It has sensors that are supposed to pick up all sorts of data about me - the aforementioned vital signs, plus how many calories I burn and even how stressed I am.

OMsignal is a part of a new breed of young companies focusing on wearable technology. These are products made out of biometric materials, or smart textiles. And yes, these products are starting to hit the market. Their fans say they could represent the future of wearable computing.

"Smart clothing is easy because it's the only wearable medium you've already been wearing your whole life," said Stephane Marceau, co-founder of OMsignal. "In a decade, every piece of apparel you buy will have some sort of biofeedback sensors built in it."

Many challenges must be overcome first, not the least of which is price. OMsignal shirts start at $US80, but they also need a module, which powers the shirt and talks to its sensors, that costs $US120. But the shirt is machine washable.
