Wearables: Imagining Possibilities, Making Them a Reality
Maker Faire Bay Area 2015
May 15th-17th
Wearables experts Rachel Kalmar, Kate Hartman, and Shannon Hoover will talk about the current state of wearable technology. What can we do with the data that they collect? How can they augment human expression? How does a wearable project get imagined and prototyped? This panel, moderated by Raspberry Pi’s Matt Richardson, will answer the conceptual and practical questions surrounding the latest in wearable tech.
