Wearable technology is growing rapidly as an industry and will double in size to $1.6 billion within a year. Advances in smaller, faster, cheaper hardware, data storage solutions, wireless connectivity, and new sensors are enabling wearables to address real-world use cases and feed our curiosity to gather more information. As the technology progresses further between 2013 and 2023, our mobile phones may no longer be the central hub, and new possibilities for wearable devices are emerging to replace phone functions like display, location tracking, and voice interaction.
