12. HEALTH AND FITNESS
With devices like the Jawbone
UP and Nike+ Fuelband
already available on the
market, it’s always exciting to
see what else creative and
tech savvy minds can do to
improve our overall health.
After all, being healthy isn’t
going out of style any time
soon, right?

13. 3D PRINTED FASHION
Personally I think that the most
interesting thing about 3D printing
is how it’s disrupting the production
process, while sparking new
creativity.
The individual costs of each design
unit is currently more expensive
than tradition methods, but it’s
helping designers push the
boundaries of conventional ideas,
and that’s something you really
can’t put a price tag on.

14. GESTURE CONTROL
Myo is a gesture control
armband that works out of the
box with things you already
have like your Mac, Windows
PC, iPhone and Android. The
Myo Armband uses Bluetooth
4.0 Low Energy to
communicate with the devices
it's paired with so you can
control presentations, video,
content, games, and much…

15. SMART WATCHES
I admit, smart watches may
seem a little dorky right now,
but you can’t neglect the
impact that the Pebble and it’s
app store have had on the
wearable’s industry.
Smart watches are a necessary
stepping stone towards making
other devices like Glass more
socially acceptable.

16. SECURITY
Wearable tech is set to give
parents a little extra piece of mind
by helping to keep a watchful eye
on their loved one's whereabouts
and receive alerts if they stray too
far.
In addition to helping protect your
family, wearable devices provide
two-way communications
capability where family members
can contact each other instantly
should the need arise -- or simply
stay in touch.

17. LIFE CASTING
Think that Instagram, YouTube
and Facebook have taken
social sharing to a new level?
Just wait until life casting
wearable devices like the
Narrative Clip become the
norm.
Things are about to become a
whole lot more “live” than ever
before, and the wildest part is,
you probably won’t even
realize it’s happening.
