This year’s International Consumer Electronics Show
(CES) has set the stage for 2015’s predicted technological trends. According to
top analysts from Gartner, IDC and Forrester, one of the trends is the
technological devices that marry fashion and style with the ability to
integrate into your daily living. Wearable technology gives us the ability to
quantify ourselves, document our lives, create new realities and express
ourselves in new and exciting ways.

Ben Hammersley, a British technologist, journalist and
author, sums up the future of wearable technology better than most, saying:
“Wearables are truly upon us…from the basements of the 70s, to the desks of the
80s, the laps of the 90s, the front rooms of the noughties and the pockets of
the twenty-teens. The next stop in this constant progression: if not in, then
definitely on the body.”
Wearable technology is not a new concept but it is one
that has gained a lot of traction and is rumoured to see some of the more
traditional forms of technology losing ground. Designed to interact with the
user without much effort, wearable technology looks to incorporate style,
fashion and the ability to track every aspect of your life.
LG has been ahead of the curve and the results are
evident in their G Watch R, which is the world’s first watch-style wearable
device to feature a full-circle Plastic OLED (P-OLED) display that utilises
100% of its display. With Android Wear at its core, the G Watch R delivers
essential information through voice recognition notifications. Coupled with the
LG Health and fitness apps, users have their health stats at their fingertips
and won’t miss a beat with important reminders of missed calls and messages,
upcoming meetings, events, and local weather forecasts.
