Defining ‘wearable tech’

• Wearable technology, fashionable technology, wearable devices, tech togs, or fashion electronics are clothing and accessories incorporating computer and advanced electronic technologies

• The designs often incorporate practical functions and features, but may also have a purely critical or aesthetic agenda

Our customers tell us that they want the latest information at their finger-tips (or in this case wrist), so being able to send predefined notifications and updates in line with the user’s role and require-ments was our focus. This can improve processes like work-flow approval, invoicing, etc

• 80% said wearable technology will be hugely beneficial to people in their daily lives.

• 30% felt it will promote even more the divide between information haves and have-nots (or between those with money and those with not enough).

• 50% thought that wearable technology is still years away from becoming mainstream

• 70% were certain that privacy and information confidentiality will be a big worry as wearable technology becomes more common.

No one mentioned ethics or ethical behaviours.http://www.nevillehobson.com/2014/07/09/way-ethics-prethics/

Too

Complacent?

Imagine going to a meeting with people who do you not know. As you walk into the room, your smart watch triggers a sensor in the doorway, which now lets everyone in the room know you have arrived. As a portfolio about you flashes in front of their eyes, a quick introduction to each person in the room simultaneously scrolls inside your specially enabled eyeglasses.
