RE: Wearable Technology Market to Reach $150 Billion by 2026

in #wearables7 years ago

I keep hearing about how "Wearable technology" is the next untapped market ready to bloom into a large money fountain of unlimited wealth yet I cant get the image of all the fit bits we had to mark as clearance 80% off at GNC because no one ACTUALLY wants to wear that stuff.

I really haven't come across many people who are looking forward to monitoring their heart rate and glucose blood levels from an app on their glasses or on their small 1inch by 1inch wrist tablet.

I also don't quite think VR counts as a wearable technology, if so my Xbox 360 kinect was an "electronic exercise wearable technology device". Oh but that fad died out too. Just like google glass died out after a hot half year of hype.

It might be a booming market for the medical field. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
