Top 5 Wearable Tech! (Early 2014) Top 5 wearable technology devices. CAPE TOWN - At the forefront of technology is the race to create the most convenient and useful devices at one's fingertips.
For the past few years, Apple, Samsung, Google and various tech companies have been competing with different forms of wearable technology. Eyewitness News takes a look at the top five types of devices that promises smart device technology and a fusion of fashion. With the launch of Google’s new interactive glasses, surfing the internet has become even more interesting. Google Glass displays information much like a smartphone and uses voice commands to communicate with the internet. A simple “Google glass take a picture” will instruct the ubiquitous computer to capture images. This savvy technology became available in the United States at a price of R16,626 on a consumer level, however, it has not yet became available to consumers in South Africa as yet.

Wearable electronic devices are beginning to resemble a technology steamroller in the consumer market, and business aviation is already climbing aboard in an attempt to keep up.
Honeywell Aerospace (Booth 2000) is developing its own variant of Google Glass with a hands-free device to make the job of the flight attendant more efficient by leveraging Honeywell’s existing Ovation Select cabin management technology. The device is now in prototype form and allows the flight attendant to manage virtually the entire cabin with just a few words here and there. In a video demonstration, Honeywell head of cabin services Nan Kramer is seen walking through the cabin and making adjustments by first activating the voice recognition system with “Okay glass,” followed by the command, “open window shades,” then “set monitors,” and “show flight times.” (To see the video demonstration, go to YouTube and insert “Honeywell wearable technology” in the search block. Ed.) Medical wearables, cleared and all. FDA cleared wearable technology, medical devices We are 4 weeks ahead of the Medica fair in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Medica is the world´s largest fair for medical and related health technology and features an impressive amount of 4,500 exhibitors and 130,000 visitors from 120 different countries. WT will represent the wearable technologies ecosystem at Medica in hall 15, at booth A23. Over 15 exhibitors will demonstrate their product solutions and research capabilities on technologies from smart glasses, activity trackers, cloud technology software and much more. Parallel to the WT show at the Medica fair many of the WT exhibitors will present their technologies at the Medicine & Sports conference on the 12th & 13th of November. The insights gained in the medical world when it comes to wearables often cross over to the sphere of health & fitness.
