Augmenting Our Physical Capabilities with Wearable Technology
The potential of wearable technology to augment our physical capabilities is powerful. We are already seeing wearable robotics or exoskeletons offering paraplegics and people who use wheelchairs the ability to walk, smart glasses enabling the visually impaired to actually see and other devices facilitating improvements in health and healing. The July We Are Wearables event explores this augmentation with some game-changing companies in this space including Bionik Laboratories (The ARKE Exoskeleton), eSight Eyewear, SENSIMAT and Lynxio.
