Last fall, Levi’s launched a Commuter Trucker Jacket in collaboration with Google that promised to help people screen phone calls, play and control music and get directions on their commute with easy-to-use physical commands.

Check out the jacket in action below — and what other functions would you love to see in wearable tech like this denim jacket?
