I design consumer products and have just received a commission to build a piece of clothing that transmits sensor data to a smartphone.

I'm looking for the best places to begin my research. Is there someone here that could help me?

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

What all are you planning on sensing in the garment? You could start by looking at what NASA instruments astronauts with when they are in their space suits...
 
It will track distance and height. From that we are looking to extrapolate speed.
