Aren’t smartwatches too common nowadays? What do you think about smart glasses, AR devices and smart shoes even? With the promising trailers of Augmented Reality devices like Apple’s Vision Pro or RayBans’ smart glasses, the future of wearables is far beyond just a wristy gimmick.
The wave of digital transformation has become increasingly dynamic and is changing the ways humankind has come from bulky machinery to sleek wearables that can integrate with the real world seamlessly, within the blink of an eye.The technology we dreamed of when we witnessed Tony Stark become IronMan is slowly taking its place in reality and I’m sure we’re all more than ready for it.
1. The potential of wearables in Augmented Reality-
The rapid advancements in technology have enabled us to be able to see augmented reality in today’s time. Futuristic AR glasses are no longer just for tech billionaires and gamers and wearables like Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 overlay digital information onto your real-world view and transform everything from tourism to medical procedures.
Imagine if a surgeon could access complex medical data relayed onto his view without having to look at a phone screen or a laptop. Or exploring historical landmarks with interactive overlays that bring the past to life.
It all started from the days of Pokemon Go and has now come to the possibilities of learning a new language by interacting with holographic flashcards or navigating a foreign city with real-time translations projected onto your glasses.
Augmented reality can become not just a powerful communication tool, but make breakthrough advancements in the educational sector as well; breaking language barriers and making the world as accessible as Baskin Robbins!
2. The Fabric of wearable tech-
The new wave of tech wearables brings with it the age of smart clothes. Companies like Sensoria are in the process of developing smart fabrics that not just look trendy as day on you, but monitor vitals, track your movement and even regulate and adjust temperatures as you need!
3. Human-Computer Interaction-
Another thing to take note of, it’s not just what we wear that matters; it is how we interact with it. Modern technologies are making it possible for us to control devices with just our thoughts. Brain-computer Interfaces (BCIs) are making this far fetched dream a reality, think if music could be composed with just a couple of melodies that strike your mind or operating machinery hands-free through neural commands!
They may be in their baby stages as of now, but BCIs hold immense potential for the future of machine and human interactions.
4. The ethical caution-
With the advent of such powerful technologies, the lines of ethics become blurred sometimes. Hence it is essential to use these marvels with a hint of caution and responsibility. Privacy concerns, data security, and the potential for unfair treatment are all valid concerns as we explore deeper into the wearable tech world.
The revolution of wearable tech is upon us and it’s a new, less travelled by path – unlike anything else we have ever seen. The possibilities in this field are unthinkably expansive and as we embrace this exhilarating age, let’s also remember to navigate it with care and foresight. It’s not about the technologies, it’s how we choose to wear them.
