The Future of Wearable Technology - CES 2015

Published on Jan 21, 2015


Wearable technology (aka “wearables”) has gone from a buzzword to an entire industry over the course of only a few years. Numerous wearables were on display at CES 2015 in Las Vegas – and we got our hands (and arms, feet, heads…) on a bunch of them! From athletics to relaxation, we look at what CES has to offer.

IEEE @ SXSW 2015 - Biometrics & Identity: Beyond Wearable

Published on Mar 16, 2015


From mobile devices to wearable gear, the increasingly ergonomic, small, lightweight, body conscious, attachable, controllable and comfortable devices we use are becoming physical extensions of ourselves. From phone to Fitbit, as we become more dependent on these devices, our comfort level with the capture and use of our intimate personal data increases. However, will we become comfortable using our biometric and genomic data to digitally unlock our everyday lives -- from car to communications, home security to banking, healthcare to services? We are moving beyond wearables, to an age where products like Biyo, which connects physical payment to a scan of the unique veins in the human palm, are becoming present market realities. John C. Havens (Author), Dr. Leslie Saxon (USC Center for Body Computing) and Heather Schlegel (Futurist) discussed the implications of using personal biometric data as the virtual keys that unlock our very real lives, and how we feel about using such sensitive, personal data as a means of self-identification during a standing-room only panel session at SXSW 2015.

Runners haptic GPS

Published on Nov 27, 2013


Runners who have moved to a new city may get lost trying to remember the route they carefully planned at home. Instead of stopping the run to pull out a phone, wait for the map to load, find where you are, and determine where you need to go, why not carry something that will automatically tell you where to go without interfering with your run? The GPS Running Watch is a personal GPS guidance device to help runners follow unfamiliar routes using an LCD display and haptic feedback. It guides the user along a path between preselected latitude/longitude waypoints by vibrating a small motor to indicate whether the waypoint is straight ahead, to the left, or to the right. You can stop worrying about losing your way home, and get back to enjoying your run.

How To Choose the Best Wearable for The Holidays

Published on Nov 27, 2015


Buying a wearable these days is not easy. For starters this is one of those markets that has taken for ever to grow out of infancy. As a result we see companies approach the market differently, and bringing a lot of disparity to the offerings that you can choose. Still, we get questions every day on Twitter regarding the best smartwatch for important lifestyle needs like fitness, or simply the usefulness of notifications at a quick glance. The biggest problem is that even with all the offerings out there, you'd be shocked at how few of these products get both of these needs right. The ones that do, fail at other basics like battery life or other essentials. If you're on the ropes trying to decide which smartwatch is right for you this holiday season, hopefully this video can help you out.

We’ve got a ton of articles coming with the best deals all around, but just keep in mind that the cheapest deals are not necessarily the best value for your investment. If you plan to hold on to your purchase for the next few years, the best is that you choose the right product for your specific needs, and that’s what this video is for.

Engineers develop new magnetic ink to print self-healing devices that heal in record time

Published on Nov 2, 2016


A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a magnetic ink that can be used to make self-healing batteries, electrochemical sensors and wearable, textile-based electrical circuits.

The key ingredient for the ink is microparticles oriented in a certain configuration by a magnetic field. Because of the way they’re oriented, particles on both sides of a tear are magnetically attracted to one another, causing a device printed with the ink to heal itself. The devices repair tears as wide as 3 millimeters—a record in the field of self-healing systems.

Researchers detail their findings in the Nov. 2 issue of Science Advances.
