Why AREA Members Attend the Enterprise Wearable Technology Summit
When providing users who use their hands with increased contextual information in Augmented Reality view, new approaches are necessary. In the place of touchscreens to consume or interact with information, professionals seek to move towards human-world interaction where the user is much more intimately connected to the surrounding environment. The rise of wearable devices is making this human-world dynamic a realistic goal by blurring the lines between computer and human environment.
Consisting of real-world case studies and best-practice user examples, the Enterprise Wearable Technology Summit is an opportunity to hear and learn from those organizations and specialists currently utilizing this new wave of technology.
