What is wearable tech? Well, it's any technology embedded into things you wear! We've got a hat with lights that helps you stay safe in the dark, a glove that plays music as you touch fingers together, a helmet with sci-fi lighting, chic laser cut jewellery, a t-shirt that's algorithmically embroidered and much more.
Ben is the Editor of HackSpace magazine. When not wrangling words, he enjoys cycling, gardening, and attempting to identify wild mushrooms.
