How Wearable Technologies Will Transform the Human Experience at Wearable Computing Conference 2013

Building off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking brings Wearable Computing Conference 2013 New York City (www.wearable-computing-conference.com), "Revolutionizing the Human Experience Through Next-Generation Technology", November 7.

New York City, NY, USA (October 16, 2013) -- Wearable technologies have already demonstrated many applications, including usage recognition software to quickly access information about the user and health monitoring that can help with early disease detection. What types of applications of wearable technology can be foreseen? How will the usage of wearable technology impact job market and productivity? How will this change the human experience?

These and other questions will be debated at Golden Networking's Wearable Computing Conference 2013 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), "Revolutionizing the Human Experience Through Next-Generation Technology", to be held in New York City, on November 7.

Wearable computers, also known as body-borne computers are miniature electronic devices that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing. This class of wearable technology has been developed for general or special purpose information technologies and media development. Wearable computers are especially useful for applications that require more complex computational support than just hardware coded logics.

One of the main features of a wearable computer is consistency. There is a constant interaction between the computer and user, i.e. there is no need to turn the device on or off. Another feature is the ability to multi-task. It is not necessary to stop what you are doing to use the device; it is augmented into all other actions. These devices can be incorporated by the user to act like a prosthetic. It can therefore be an extension of the user's mind and/or body.

We are now at an inflexion point in the advancement of the adoption of wearable computing. To expand the market for wearable technologies, it is necessary for developers and manufacturers to lead the world to show how the usage of these technologies can revolutionize every aspect of the human experience.

Topics that Wearable Computing Conference 2013 will discuss include:

- Key Features of Wearable Technologies
- A New World for Application Developers
- How Wearable Technologies Will Transform the Human Experience
- Wearable Computing and its Impact on the Technology Marketplace
- The Future of Wearable Computing Today

Founder of Misfit Wearables, Sonny Vu, to Speak at Wearable Computing Conference 2013 New York City

Building off of the momentum of past successful conferences, Golden Networking brings Wearable Computing Conference 2013 New York City (www.wearable-computing-conference.com), "Revolutionizing the Human Experience Through Next-Generation Technology", November 7.

New York City, NY, USA (October 16, 2013) -- Sonny Vu, founder of Misfit Wearables, will participate at Golden Networking's Wearable Computing Conference 2013 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), "Revolutionizing the Human Experience Through Next-Generation Technology", to be held in New York City, on November 7.

Misfit Wearables are the makers of highly wearable computing products, including the award-winning Shine, an elegant activity monitor. In an interview with medGadget, Mr. Vu elaborates: "The Shine is the ultimate in simplicity, from the look of it to what it does, which is measuring your physical activity goals. That's really it. The other thing is that I think we're the most wearable. You can wear it anywhere. We've had people asking if they can wear it as a necklace, watch, even a power ring! I love the other products, but you can only wear it in a few places and with certain dress levels (casual, active) comfortably. You can wear the Shine for a run, just as comfortably as to the prom. When we surveyed people, we had a number of people say they would wear it even if it didn't measure anything at all. At first, you think, ‘really?' But I feel like that's our dream, making something people would want to wear anywhere."

Mr. Vu is also the founder of AgaMatrix, makers of the world's first iPhone-connected hardware medical device (Red Dot & GOOD Design Awards). AgaMatrix, which began as a two-person start-up, now ships 15+ FDA-cleared medical device products, 1B+ biosensors, 3M+ glucose meters for diabetics.

Mr. Vu worked at Microsoft Research on machine learning / linguistic technologies and studied math (BS) at UIUC and linguistics (PhD) under Noam Chomsky at MIT. "I eventually left the program again to start up AgaMatrix with Sridhar Iyengar (AgaMatrix's current CTO), who I knew of in high school and roomed with in college. It was awesome that we started the company from nothing to what's now a multi-million dollar company whose products are sold at the Apple Store. I got to know John Sculley (Misfit's co-founder) a couple years ago as a friend and mentor, and over time we decided to start a company together."

Mr. Vu understands a number of interesting languages, is a patron of good product design, and believes an era of wearable computing is coming soon where UX design will be geared towards glance-able displays as well as non-visual modalities. Where does he see the future of wearable sensors/computers heading?

"It's going to be a big deal. We had the PC revolution in the 80's, the Internet in the 90's, mobile in the early 2000's until now, and now we are in the post-PC era of cloud computing and tablets. Where else is computing going to go? I think it might go on our bodies. Is the next era of computation and sensing going to be from 2012-2020? I think it is. People are finding it to be more socially acceptable to wear technology, and companies are designing products that are more attractive and socially acceptable to wear. We're trying to humanize the wearable technology space; you can start by asking ‘what kind of sensors do you have that we can strap on you?', but we first ask ‘what do you like to wear?', and we can place a sensor in it. We also start by considering what people would wear, regardless of whether or not it has a sensor in it, like jeans or your underwear or socks. But, I actually think we won't have the technology for the next 5-10 years to make sensor-embedded clothing that is cheap, can be washed, doesn't have to be charged, and doesn't have to fit tight on your body like a compression shirt."
