dear designboom reader,

these days, wearable technology digs deep into the users’ health and thoughts, such as samsung’s wellness ring and the mind-reading hat that university researchers have developed. the former employs sensor technology and tracks the wearer’s wellbeing and sleeping patterns, while the latter reads what the users think and transcribes them into text that viewers can see.

wearable technology also focuses on helping users with their specific needs, including the wireless AR glasses capable of translating languages, identifying images, and searching the web for certain items on the go. for those who want to experience using a hands-free smartphone, humane AI pin’s screenless device projects apps, calls and more onto the palms of the users.

thanks for reading!
