Sir Arthur C. Clarke, world-renowned British sci-fi writer, was once quoted as saying, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” This is exactly what is happening with one of the hottest technological trends today – the wearables.
Form, Function and Fitness
Wearable technologies are both fashion and function to the max! Top wearable technology companies are poised to see the trend take off sooner than expected which would boost sales exponentially. CNN reported that as a key technological trend, wearables are hot particularly when packaged with wellness. Trendy fitness trackers and smart watches have been flooding the market.
These fitness-monitoring wearables include features such as notifications via haptic feedback, companion apps for heart, pulse and sleep monitor and even an app which monitors how much you browse music, films and games!
Giant technology company Samsung started to introduce three wearables, Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit, which are all fitness-band ready.
Sony, on the other hand, has released its fitness band with the Lifelong companion app.
What’s more, bracelet tracks available in the market today help you manage your stress and even suggest ways to avoid it in real-time! These bracelet tracks are able to study the heart rate, skin temperature and body motion in order to notify you when, for instance, it is time to do some breathing exercises to relieve yourself from stress or anxiety.

Second skin wearable technology is simply amazing!
Finally, the Google Glass!
One of the most exciting wearables today, the Google Glass is a technological eyewear with a miniature mounted display for optical controls. Sci-fi and reality combine to bring this wonderful wearable in what promises to be the hottest of them all. Its features include:

● Built-in camera.
● The Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) display.
