Wearable Display for Dynamic Spatial and Temporal Fashion Trends

摘要

Wearable technology in the form of wearable computing, wearable displays, e.t.c. will need to not only add extra technological value to the user. It will need to strategically or seamlessly blend in to current form factors or augment them in ways that shed unnecessary steps from the procedures of how things are conventionally done while adding extra desirable value proposition and comfort. The herein presented work centers around a wearable display product platform we prototyped to invisibly incorporates technology into a conventional product form factor that leaves it visually indistinguishable from conventional products in its outward appearance, weight, smell, feel and, most importantly for wearable technologies - comfort. The platform prototype showcase is a smartphone app controlled high heel shoe that can match a user's outfit at the click of a button as well as housing some embedded sensors.
