The BB.Suit is built using a mix between a circular knitting machine and 3D printer in which copper wire is woven inside layers of cotton.

This wire is then connected to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS chips built into the fabric, while batteries and processors are hidden inside built-in pockets.

Akkersdijk is now working with tech companies to create a smart clothing platform and develop his BB.Suit, pictured, further. This includes making the garment less bulky and more comfortable in hot weather. He also said more work needs to be done in developing waterproof chips, so the onesie can be washed easily
