Description
Designing Wearables People Want
The Wearable Tech Sector is red hot. Brands, designers, developers, and thought-leaders from many fields have thoughts racing about an array of potential inventions and innovation. But what are the Wearable uses and aesthetics that people really want? In which cases do they want them as bold statements and which as more of an integrated or hidden technology? What will it take for Wearable Tech to mainstream? Our designing Wearables panel will explore and discuss the state of the Wearable Tech industry and how various industries are creating and developing the next ecosystem of Wearable Technology via form and function.
