wearable computing

Back in 2023, tech startup Sightful developed a hardware/software system that put a huge virtual computer screen in front of your eyes. Now the company has dropped the hardware component and tweaked the software to work with AI laptops.

Around this time last year, tech startup Sightful invited a thousand productivity pioneers to be the first to experience the Spacetop system, a laptop that uses AR glasses for a display. Now the updated and refined Gen 1 product has gone up for sale.

Powering flexible electronics is a huge challenge in itself, with rigid lithium-ion batteries unable to bend in-tune with the devices without breaking. Researchers have developed a battery claimed to mitigate these risks, with the ability to "self-heal" in the event of a rupture. ​

After getting a Microsoft HoloLens in the offices, our first impressions are largely positive​, but the headset's big Achilles' heel is its limited field of view. We mocked up what it really looks like.

You've probably heard by now that virtual reality is supposed to be a thing this year. But if you have some catching up to do on the latest innovations, upcoming headsets and what to look for, let Gizmag lend a hand with the latest in our State of the Game series.

We spent some time at CES hanging out with ODG, makers of the most badass smartglasses this side of Hololens. The glasses are still aimed primarily at enterprise customers and developers, but if they becomeconsumer products, there's a good chance you're going to want a pair.

As smartwatches continue to become more mainstream, traditional watchmakers are going through a transitional period. Instead of seeing smartwatches merely as a threat, though, Fossil is joining the party.

In the last few years, we've seen wearable tech products go from concept to clunky early adopter gizmos to (somewhat) mainstream consumer product. They're still unnecessary luxuries, but some of them are worth their price in fun alone. Let's break down the best wearables of 2015.

The Apple Watch was the most popular smartwatch in the world from the moment it was announced, and we'd imagine the Moto 360 is the most popular Android Wear watch. We have both in-house, so why not take a quick look at two very different approaches to the smartwatch.

LG's first Android Wear watch was pretty uneventful, but the company took a big leap forward with its fast follow-up, the G Watch R. LG's third Wear smartwatch, which is almost identical to that second one, is now available. Read on, for Gizmag's LG Watch Urbane review.

How will the arrival of the Apple Watch affect Android Wear? Well, we probably won't see evidence of that until later this year, but we do now at least have our hands on the first Wear watch to go on sale after the Apple Watch. Read on for our first impressions of the LG Watch Urbane.

After more than two years' worth of rumors, the Apple Watch is finally here. As the company's most closely-watched launch in five years, can it follow the Sasquatch-sized footprints of the iPod, iPhone and iPad? Join Gizmag, as we review the Apple Watch.
