Design ambitions for wearable tech showcased at Georgia Tech symposium
As Apple entered the consumer wearable technology market this spring with the Apple Watch, Atlanta-based researchers at Georgia Tech showcased a wearable technology exhibit that brought together designs from around the world and hinted at a vision of what personal technology might look like in the near future.
“Here at Georgia Tech we excel at truly substantive multi-disciplinary research on a large scale, which is required in the wearable space,” says Maribeth Gandy, co-director of the Georgia Tech Wearable Computing Center. “Simply inventing a new underlying technology that can enable wearable systems is is not enough; the design, as well as the psychological, sociological, and public policy aspects require equal attention.”
