What are Wearables?

Wearable computers and their interfaces are designed in a manner that they can be worn on the body, in the form of a wrist-mounted screen or head-mounted display, aimed at enabling mobility and eyes-free/hands-free activities. Consumer uses include computer-ready clothing, display peripherals, and smart fabrics. Traditional uses comprise mobile industrial inspection, maintenance, and the military.
