Although wearable technologies incited by the “Internet of things” are gradually being presented, only a few studies have examined the adoption of wearable technologies. Despite its growing importance, wearable technologies has met with various challenges across the world, including limited adoption by potential consumers. Thus, this study empirically examines the antecedents of wearable technology adoption by potential consumers. Particularly, our result provide support for the importance of trust for overcoming hesitation and risk, related to wearable technology.

Product characteristics of wearable devices have large impacts on users' initial trust as users intend to adopt wearable devices, which further impacts wearable devices' use intention. This paper aims at investigating the impacts of wearable device product characteristics on consumers' initial trust based on four factors: wearability, functionality, personalization, and integration. Through a questionnaire survey method, 328 valid questionnaires were obtained. The empirical analysis results from the structural equation model analysis show that wearability, functionality, and integration factors have significant impacts on the initial trust of wearable devices. The conclusions of the study can provide references for the future research on the initial trust of wearable devices, and point out the direction of product development for wearable device manufacturers.

Wearable technology collectively describes some of the most exciting emerging technologies, encompassing smart gadgets, garments, jewelry, and other devices worn on the user's body. In recent years, high profile wearable devices such as the Google Glass, Apple Watch, and FitBit have captured both the public imagination and headlines. Wearable technology has the potential to change the world even more profoundly than other mobile technologies. The appearance of such high profile wearable devices in the end-consumer market has also lead to serious consideration of the implications of such technologies, previously limited to the pages of science fiction. The implications for security and privacy of individuals and organizations, and the potential dangers to both society and the economy, must be considered and addressed in order for wearable technology to successfully deliver upon its many promises. Through addressing such concerns, the pathway to a “wearable future” can be unlocked, and users can adopt wearable technology with confidence.

"Wearable technology" and "wearable devices" are phrases that describe electronics and computers that are integrated into clothing and other accessories that can be worn comfortably on the body. Examples of wearable devices include glasses, watches, headbands, and jewelry. While these technologies show great influence in fashion and entertainment, they have the largest impact in the areas of health, medicine, and fitness. Librarians are also exploring wearable technology's potential for enhancing services and expanding outreach to their organizations.

Advances in technology in the past decades, including miniaturized components, flexible materials and novel sensors, fostered advances in Wearable Computing. With many different form factors available and diverse potential features, wearable computers have been successfully applied in various domains. Despite the large potential and versatility of wearable devices, and wrist worn computers in particular, it is still a major challenge to design efficiently their user interfaces and interactive solutions. The design of efficient interaction solutions is complex due to the dynamic constraints and requirements of the contexts of use where the user interaction takes place and also due to inherent limitations of wearable devices, which involve processing, power, and interactive surfaces. This paper presents the main challenges in the design of interaction and interfaces for wrist worn wearables, and to address a major requirement in this domain, of quick interactions through small displays, it also discusses two interaction paradigms in a design approach for wrist worn devices, integrating micro interactions and multi dimensional graphical user interfaces.

User interaction and context awareness are key issues in today's wearable computing research. Context-aware wearable devices typically use a multitude of special purpose sensors for this. In this paper, we show for a simple test case that even simple sensors in a wearable human computer interaction device can be used for robust context detection. Furthermore, we describe in detail the recognition of different activities and discuss the results.

Together with the evolution of digital health care, the wearable electronics field has evolved rapidly during the past few years and is expected to be expanded even further within the first few years of the next decade. As the next stage of wearables is predicted to move toward integrated wearables, nanomaterials and nanocomposites are in the spotlight of the search for novel concepts for integration. In addition, the conversion of current devices and attachment-based wearables into integrated technology may involve a significant size reduction while retaining their functional capabilities. Nanomaterial-based wearable sensors have already marked their presence with a significant distinction while nanomaterial-based wearable actuators are still at their embryonic stage. This review looks into the contribution of nanomaterials and nanocomposites to wearable technology with a focus on wearable sensors and actuators.
