Wearable Tech!

There was a time not too years ago when wearable computing would mean a bunch of lights and circuits some awkwardly sewn into clothes. But we have come along way!
Gadgetistas the world over are abuzz with excitement over recent developements in wearable computing - the continued morphing of man and machine seems to be the next big shift in technology.

Here's TechnoTeen's pick of whats hot in space --


Google Glass- Leading the charge,the elephant in the room, is Glass- Google's internet connected eyewear with an integrated display and camera. Imagine having driving directions in your field of vision, searching on Google or just being able to record or sharing a video / photo just by saying a word.
Glass represents a massive leap forward in enriching and augmenting your field of vision!




Airwave
Oakley AirWave- If you enjoy snowboarding, and skiing, Oakley's AirWave can revolutionise the way you experience the sport. Integrating GPS, Bluetooth,and a heads up display into a set of premium snow goggles, AirWave gives you access to a veritable avalanche of information, including maps, speed, distance travelled, and incoming calls and text messages from your phone as well. Crazy!

Pebble
Pebble-With mobile phones having replaced watches for many, our wrists are now free for a new wearable device, and the Pebble smartwatch could be it! Pebble talks to your IOS or Android smartphone over Bluetooth, dicreetly giving you hands-free access to a bunch of data from your phone- whos;s calling, SMS/Email, social network alerts, whats playing on your music playlist, all in one glance and with a wrist gesture that we all are familiar with-checking our watches! But, thats not it- with apps on your smartphone that talk directly to Pebble the possibilities of what can show up are practically endless!

Fitbit Flex
Fitbit Flex- Wearable fitness gadgets arent the new, but the new range of fitness Gizmos, like the Fitbit Flex that you wear gives you 24x7 monitoring of your activity levels, even when you are asleep. Theres much more in this gadget!






Apple iWatch- Heavily rumoured to make an appearance soon is a smartwatch from Apple- lets just call it the iWatch for now!
Possible specs include_ that it runs the IOS platform, and talks to the iPad/iPhone, features kinetic charging, so you will never have to change batteries and may be even packs in a speakerphone!

So thats all for now in this post!
