Wearable System Design Challenges toward Human-Centric Computing

As we move from personal computing to human-centric computing, we see great promises for people to better connect with their family, friend, or colleague around the globe despite of physical distance. All-day wearable devices such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) glasses, wristbands, or gloves equipped with the ubiquitous connectivity can empower people to connect, feel, and interact more intuitively than using today’s mobile phones or personal computers. In my presentation, I will talk about the promises and the technical challenges of wearable systems design using flexible, hybrid, and printed electronics, and how a design-manufacture ecosystem might help.
