Think beyond watches and beyond glass, to a world fueled by the smallest bits of hardware humans have ever had the joy of experimenting with! Join us for another Wearable Wednesday SF as we dive into talking about the hardware powering tomorrow’s hottest innovations.

Sensors, batteries, and hard drives are no longer limited to clunky machines. They are being integrated seamlessly into jewelry, fabrics, appliances, and more! As the bits of technology that fuel our apps grow smaller and smaller the questions beg to be asked: how tiny can we truly go, how long can they really last between charges, and when will we finally live in a wireless world? We will dive into these questions and more Wednesday with the industry’s great minds – picking apart the pieces to the market’s leading technological products.

Join in on the event Wednesday April 16 from 5:00PM – 8:00PM at the Wearable World HQ (600 Harrison St., 4th Floor, San Francisco CA 94107) for a light cocktail reception, networking, a fireside chat and a panel!

Distance learning isn’t as easy as it seems. It seems like I discovered Appear.in a tad too late because I’m just a few semesters away from graduating with my Master’s degree, but you might find this service useful.

Appear.in basically lets you have a video conference, chat, whatever you want to call it, with up to eight people online. All you have to do is log on their site, create a room, share the link with others, and go.

There’s no need to register for any accounts, log in, or install any software. This makes it perfect for project discussions and group sessions where not all members have Skype, WebEx or other similar messenger-type programs installed on their devices. The only requirement is that users have a webcam or microphone and the latest version of Chrome, Firefox or Opera.

You can find more info and try Appear.in here.

One Highlight will be the award ceremony of the Wearable Technologies Innovation World Cup on Jan. 27 at around 5p.m. During the award show, the finalists of the categories Sports & Fitness, Healthcare & Wellness, Security & Prevention, Gaming & Lifestyle, as well as the special categories “Evolve Insurance Award”, “Smart Clothing”, “blukii® App 2.0”, and “Phone as a Wearable Hub Award” will present their solutions and products, and the “WT Innovator of the year” will be announced.

On an extra exhibition area of roughly 3,000 sqm around the conference venue, reserved only for wearable technologies novelties,  attendees can speak to pioneers of this rapidly evolving, billion-Dollar market and get their hands on the newest wearables.

Since 2006 Wearable Technologies Conferences have been the leading events, showcasing cutting-edge innovation, focusing on decision makers, experts and developers from commerce, production and research, in particular from the fields of Health, Wellness, Active Life, Lifestyle Computing, Communication, Security/Safety, and Fashion.
