There’s something fishy about the cover of our January issue: We fronted a big story about wearable tech, but you’ve never seen the smartwatch and glasses on the cover. That’s because they’re concepts that we commissioned just for the issue.
In doing so, we wanted to explore a few big questions hanging over the development of wearable devices: For one, should a smartwatch really be, basically, a phone on your wrist? Is there any reason we’d actually want smart glasses? What should an internet-connected device on your wrist and face look like?
In a scant few years we’ll have processors small enough, and batteries strong enough to make wearable devices that we can only dream about. So what should we dream about?
