Wearable technology, wearables, fashionable technology, wearable devices, tech togs, or fashion electronics are clothing and accessories incorporating computer and advanced electronic technologies. The designs often incorporate practical functions and features, but may also have a purely critical or aesthetic agenda.〔(What is a Wearable Device? ) WearableDevices.com. Retrieved 10-29-2013〕 Wearable devices such as activity trackers are a good example of the Internet of Things, since they are part of the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with a manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices, without requiring human intervention. ==History== Wearable technology is related to both ubiquitous computing and the history and development of wearable computers. Wearables make technology pervasive by interweaving it into daily life. Through the history and development of wearable computing, pioneers have attempted to enhance or extend the functionality of clothing, or to create wearables as accessories able to provide users with sousveillance - the recording of an activity typically by way of small wearable or portable personal technologies. Tracking information like movement, steps and heart rate are all part of the quantified self movement. The origins of wearable technology are influenced by both of these responses to the vision of ubiquitous computing. One early piece of widely-adopted wearable technology was the calculator watch, introduced in the 1980s. In 2008, Ilya Fridman incorporated a hidden Bluetooth microphone into a pair of earrings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.behance.net/gallery/203455/Ripple-Headset )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=And you thought the Jawbone headset was stylish )〕 Around the same time, the Spy Tie appeared, a "stylish neck tie with a hidden color camera".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tie camera )〕 Twitter users could create a "Pocket Tweet" by cutting a hole in their shirt or jacket pocket and then using a mobile phone screen to display a Twitter text bubble, in one example of Do-it-yourself wearable tech that was part of an art exhibit for the Wearable Technology AIR project in spring 2009.〔Chris Davies (Pocket Tweet app turns your shirt into a Twitter bubble ) July 1, 2009 SlashGear〕 Also in 2009, now-defunct ZED-phones stitched headphones into beanies and headbands. According to a 2014 study by Forbes, 71% of 16- to 24-year-olds want wearable tech.〔By Victor Lipman. Forbes."(71% Of 16-To-24-Year-Olds Want 'Wearable Tech.' Why Don't I Even Want To Wear A Watch? )". September 22, 2014. Retrieved September 22, 2014.〕 However, a study carried out in the UK in early 2015 among 1000 people reported that almost half (56%) said that wearable tech was "just a fad".〔Simon Jones (Our survey says ...something doesn't add up ) April 16, 2015 WearableTechWatch〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wearable technology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
