Detailed application examples of wearable sensors/actuators, memories, energy devices, and displays are also presented.
I'm honestly reserving judgement until we have a review unit in hand, though I will say I'm more excited to try this out than just about any mainstream wearable in recent memory.
In this paper, we reviewed the current status of wearable devices including sensors/actuators, memory devices, displays, and energy storage devices.
All data was collected and stored in the internal memory of the wearable devices and downloaded to a computer for post-processing and analysis.
In the following, we summarize recently reported wearable sensors/actuators [7, 13, 47], memories [41, 48], energy storage devices [49], and displays [50, 51] that exploit various nanomaterials [7, 44, 46, 52, 53] and their hybrids (Fig. 1).
Upon reading "A Step Beyond Palmtop: Collartop" (What's Next, Nov. 30), I immediately thought about the usefulness of the "memory glasses" and other wearable computers.
Green electrophosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with inverted top-emitting structures are demonstrated on bio-compatible shape memory polymer (SMP) substrates for wearable electronic applications.
Together with his adviser, Dr. Alex Pentland, Mr. DeVaul is developing a reminder system called Memory Glasses, part of a larger wearable-computing project.
To illustrate the strength of this method, we then applied AIDE to fNIRS data recorded by a wearable system on one participant during a complex real-world prospective memory experiment conducted outside the lab.
