Since Nintendo introduced the Power Glove to work as an input device for their gaming consoles in 1989, I was highly intrigued by wearable technology. I can’t say this is just a peak of interest happening right now – I think this is a solid and sustainable trend. Wearable technology gains traction not only in the entertainment sector but has also often a strong practical usefulness.
You love wearables but don’t know where to get proper updates from?
Whether you refer to this as just #Wearables or #WearableTech on Twitter, you find a lot of stray content and some more or less legit accounts, which syndicate content around the subject. However if you want the full brief and stay up-to-date on the topic, you should definitely consider these great Twitter power users and champions, which I have identified and listed for you below in no particular order.
