2. Introduction
 Wearable technology are clothing and accessories
incorporating computer and advanced electronic
technologies. The designs often incorporate practical
functions and features.
 Worn by user - but are intended to interact with the wearer
without punching keys or other manipulation.

3.  Wearable devices are a good example of the Internet of Things,
since they are a part of physical objects ("things“) embedded
with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity.
 always on, always working.
 The Wearable technology consists of two parts:
1. sensors, glasses, watches and even foot wear;
2. Information aggregator & analyser

4. Reasons for growth of Wearable
Technology
 Location Data:
 Device GPS,
 Internet traffic information.
 Cloud storage:
 Big data, Internet of things.
 Reduced IT cost with cloud computing.
 Faster ,smaller and cheaper hardware:
 Getting 100 times smaller every decade;
 easy portability.

5. Key Industries
 Fitness , wellness and healthcare.
 Infotainment.
 Industrial and Military.

6. Fitness and Healthcare
 Wearable Technology is being used to measure a lot of
health-related data, such as the step count, heart rate, Blood
pressure, etc.

7.  Wearable technology has started to revolutionize healthcare
by:
 assisting doctors in the operating room; and
providing real time access to electronic health records.
 Patients can now continuously monitor their own health.

8. Infotainment
 The popular segment that combines information and
entertainment.
 Includes the smartwatch and the smart glass.

9. Smartwatches
 A smartwatch is a computerized wristwatch with functionality
that is enhanced beyond timekeeping.
 Modern smartwatches are effectively wearable computers.
Many run mobile apps, using a mobile OS.
 Some smartwatches function as portable media players.
 Some models, also called 'watch phones', feature full mobile
phone capability, and can make or answer phone calls.

11. Smart Glasses
 Smart glasses is a wearable computer with an optical head
mounted display(OHMD) or computerized internet-connected
glasses with transparent heads-up display(HUD) or
Augmented Reality(AR) overlay that has the capability of
reflecting projected digital images as well as allowing the user
to see through it.

13. Oculus Rift
 It is a virtual reality headset.
 Among the first consumer-targeted VR headsets.
 The Rift has an OLED display, a 1080p, or 1080×1200,
resolution per eye, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and 110° field of view.
 It has integrated headphones which provide a 3D audio effect,
rotational and positional tracking.
 The Rift can be used while sitting, standing or walking around.

15. Military
 Radically improved aiming capabilities.
 Rifles that can track targets, detect wind and weather, and
calculate the optimal flight path for the bullet now exist.
 Monitor physical state and injuries.
 thumbnail-size sensors, attached to bandages, monitor a
user’s vitals such as heart rate, breathing, and hydration.
 Better communication between troops and military dogs
 Providing 360-degree battlefield awareness

16.  Heads up Display for military helps pilots differentiate
between tactical display symbols.

17. Advantages
 portability
 hands free use
 comfortable
 always on for the task it is designed
 quick accessibility
 fashionable

18. Disadvantages
 less versatile
 ambient noise
 not widely accepted yet
 expensive
 at times, a lot of wiring
 heat emission may cause irritation
 side effects(headaches)
 Data security threats, if device is lost or stolen

19. Conclusion
Without a doubt, Wearable Technology is among the most promising
technologies with scope to improve. As it is mentioned:
 Getting smaller in size
 Wearables will continue to reign in popularity
 Even reaching to animals
 Brave attempts at fashionable bluetooth jewellery and clothing
 Focusing needed on better designs for mass appeal
 Future projections seems to be reaching to the highest level
 Wearables will integrate more seamlessly into daily life
 Adding more sensors will consolidate devices and broaden market
appeal
