4 Wearable Products That I Can’t Wait To Wear This Year
Tap
A small strap that fits on your hand, the Tap Strap is composed of several textile embedded sensors, each monitoring the mechanical movements of our hands and fingers. By enabling any surface to become a virtual keyboard, this little device is powered using bluetooth technology.
Woojer
Based on a patented haptic technology, Woojer is a wearable tactile device that reproduces the rich emotional sensation of sound. It can be worn with a belt clip or with a sport strap.
At present, one of the main problems with VR is that it lacks the real-life feeling of the surrounding environment. Woojer, however, is positioned to solve this – the tactile sensation generated by its polyphonic transducer delivers extremely high fidelity which is accurate up to third harmonics.
HoloLens
Hololens combines the vision of augmented reality and the experience of virtual reality to create mixed reality, allowing users to actively interact with holograms.
O.zen by Ubisoft
In February, Ubisoft — a French biometric gaming company whose technology is used by Jabra, LG, and Sony — released O.zen, a wearable heart-rate sensor and application that plugs into your iPhone or iPad. Essentially, the device measures your heart rate and uses the beat and rhythm to influence your game play. It was first designed as a wellness application, intending to help users control stress, sleep better, and manage their emotions; but its founders see extreme potential in the gaming sphere.
