We all need blinky stuff for burning man. So I like to think that there's some of our stuff out there. So we're going to talk about couple of examples. Wearable electronics. So the one on the left has what's called the "LilyPad." Some really interesting embedded electronics developed by Dr. Leah Buechley. She's in the media lab now.You sew with conductive thread, right? And you can put this into your clothing.
And, in fact, many forms of meditation encourage watching of the breath. A wearable respiration sensor that gives you feedback when you're stressed can be imagined as a technology assisted meditation practice. The coming ubiquity of wearable sensors make opportunities for calm engineering like this potentially quite common.
Helen Glover had only been rowing for four years when she won this gold medal. The wearable for consumers are well and good.
Because there's no screen in sight. these wearable gadgets like the Jawbone UP.
Which one are you more into? Because a smaller wearable pair of glasses you can wear all day and it gives you convenient stuff like a heads-up display with notifications and directions and translations and it looks inconspicuous...
in the back, sensors all over the feet. But they were building wearable robots to allow someone like me to stand and move in a rehab context, not out in the world, but standing up out of my wheelchair and walking with the robot's help.
So it's really magical to see them do these short films and a subject matter like suicide, and bullying, and really deep subjects And you wear wearable art.
And the answer to that question for me was the Airstrument, which is the device on my hand. The idea behind this wearable device is that it takes that notion of voluntary signals of the thing you can really control-- which is hand movements-- and turns it into a super intuitive instrument.
Whole genome sequencing, immunome, microbiome. Verily developed a new wearable to track these enrollees over a long period of time, initially at least four years. And for the first time we'll have enough baseline data about the health of these individuals to be able to look back and to say, well,
But in fact when you interviewed some-- there were all these different cultural groups that had to say, is this pleasant, unpleasant, wearable . Is it a wearable scent, an edible scent? And for every one of these horrible scents, there would be some group that was like yeah, I'd wear that.
You need a way of computing them. So they designed wearable computers, wearable hidden computers to carry out these calculations in a casino. And as it happens, the first ever wearable computer was designed for this purpose.
Now a lot of people do with something like that. Let's say wearable technology for musicians, and how that could improve the sonic experience if they're wearing some whatever whatever.
A wearable respiration sensor that gives you feedback when you're stressed can be imagined as a technology assisted meditation practice. The coming ubiquity of wearable sensors make opportunities for calm engineering like this potentially quite common. We'll show you the state of the field today.
The ideal device that kind of does is, the ideal meditation technology is probably totally invisible, it's socially acceptable, and it's wearable throughout the day. And so with those as design kind of parameters, we have wrestled a lot with how to actually make this thing work.
I'm like, . So how long would you say, if you had to boil, how long would you say a typical video takes you from start to finish? That is not wearable .
is a giant pain. I know it, but it is it is probably worth it. If you want to use the wearable , you can do that. The problem with the wearables is numerous. They are awesome at things like awareness, at accountability, right?
And technology is now starting to come back and fix the ailments that technology started with our sleep. rather than wearables . And I think the ring gets almost as close to an unwearable as you could imagine.
Being able to have wearables that now contract not just your pulse, but your sleep habits, your eating habits, and other things like that.
your consumer wearables so the question is how much is Weight a factor in your consumer wearables as far as I guess
And we're talking wearables now in the early 1970s.
I went to a conference on wearable robotics.
have an interest in because they're building robots with artificial intelligence built into the system. They're capturing data points from wearable robots with motors at the knees and at the hips, computers in the back, sensors all over the feet.
So it's really magical to see them do these short films and a subject matter like suicide, and bullying, and really deep subjects So the first year was wearable art.
There are also players who Wear wearable watches, and manage their body using their smartphones We push them, and keep building the statistics
also ongoing efforts in assisted and wearable technologies to augment human locomotion here on Earth.
And as it happens, the first ever wearable computer was designed for this purpose. So a huge amount of wearable tech now. This is where it all originated.
She's been doing research on developing wearable mobile devices in the health care industry.
That's also not very ambient. And it's not very wearable , right? The ideal device that kind of does is, the ideal meditation technology is probably totally invisible, it's socially acceptable,
They can generate compelling experiences and wearable computing Glass, in particular, is a really nice platform to experiment
And then his example was wearable sensor technology.
Okay. If you flag that and you want to move up to the next step, then you kind of have a couple of different ways. And your two options are what we'll call wearables at home tech. These are typically we'll call the $100 to $600 range. Mhm. And then past that, you have a true medical option, which is a sleep hospital. This is when you would
Eventually we'll all have wearables .
Of all the gadgets and wearables , this is probably the one that I stuck with the longest.
And one of the first wearables , which is a project he worked on with Ed Thorp
So I'm wondering how do wearables come into your performances if at all?
But i do like the wearables .
So we've got 20 wearables now.
Helen Glover had only been rowing for four years when she won this gold medal. We've seen this boom in wearables in the consumer space.
that Apple will be able to design wearables for the mass market that Google could not.
And you can now do that thanks to a revolution in wearable devices, smartwatches, rings and host of other devices.
about certain times where um I've done certain things behaviorally and then I got in bed woke up feeling terrible and my wearable said to me you had a bad really bad night's sleep and I could kind of put two and two together and kind of establish cause and effect and I could almost I guess test
And this person would actually come back and spiral back in this talk, so try and remember him. I then started playing around with this idea of wearable devices. The first thing I've ever created in this realm was actually using the Google Glass-- the first edition back in the day.
technology, wearable technologies and other kinds of sensor technologies.
And we will use a robust sensing system comprised of wearable devices, beacons, phone agent.
When you're mentoring about the people not using wearable gadgets and self-tracking, of course, there are uncountable reasons, which I have no idea
And it went from just a fascinating gadget wearable to fundamentally transformative for me.
How do we think about the new capabilities of wearable computing, of Glass in particular, of internet enabled technologies in general.
Well, unlike some wearable companies that make their devices, ours is going to be open.
through the use of external devices such as wearables or implants that don't remove existing brain tissue.
Exactly. With the wearables team, I can probably get in touch about that.
