Wearable Technology
By: Andy Wu, Jacob Chouinard and Christie Klauberg
Abstract
Wearable electronics were endpoint devices designed to be worn, sense the human body and interact with the environment around the wearer, connecting humans to the Internet of Things. Wearable technology received a great deal of attention in the past decade and reached a peak state of hype in 2015. After 2015, there was increased doubt in the future of the technology after early product releases were underwhelming.
Wearables in 2020 provides an in-depth analysis of wearable development in recent years across eight different form factors.
