We are on the cusp of a new era of wearable computing.

For example, we are beginning to see a very rapid development in 'wearable computing' involving smart textiles, which can record information from our body and give us feedback on activity.

Through the history and development of wearable computing, this vision has been both contrasted and affirmed.

Among other industries, he focuses on healthcare, biotech, wearable computing and robotics.

However, humans may themselves be accompanied by smart devices such as mobile phones, use surface-mounted devices (wearable computing) and contain embedded devices (e.g., pacemakers to maintain a healthy heart operation).
