Description

Despite years of promises that wearable sensors and augmented reality (AR) would revolutionize our lives, mass adoption continues to lag behind expectations. Why is it that, aside from a few exceptions like smartwatches, most people aren’t incorporating these advanced technologies into their daily lives?

In this session, Dätwyler will critically examine the intersection of wearable sensors and AR, identifying the barriers that have slowed their mainstream success. We explore shared challenges — such as user comfort, obtrusiveness, and perceived value — and how innovations like Dätwyler's SoftPulse™ technology are helping to overcome these obstacles. Through case studies and comparisons, we’ll uncover lessons AR and wearable sensors can learn from each other and how they might finally achieve mass adoption.
