Just to be clear: The article mentions that the 'wearable' technology here isn't the giant cufflink; it's the conductive material that makes up the left cuff, and registers touches on the cuff as inputs that can be forwarded to a device. Pretty cool!
The only part I'm not too sure about is the author's insistence that this jacket will be useful for cyclists; doesn't this type of input require a hand to leave the handlebars? I suppose at a stoplight this would be fine, but I honestly can't imagine trying to make precise swipes- one handed- while riding a bicycle. Maybe I'm just a bad bicycle rider.
