Secondary research reveals that wearables have been around for years. They hold tremendous potential to impact user’s lives in terms of their health, how they interact and communicate, and how they accomplish tasks and track data. The wearables market is expected to reach billions of dollars. Wearables are small electronic devices, often consisting of one or more sensors and having computational capability. They are embedded into items that attach to the body, such as a user’s head, feet, arms, wrists and waist. They can resemble a watch, eyeglasses, clothing, contact lenses, shoes or even jewelry. Wearables either capture data or present data.
