Conference Details
This two day International conference will aim to contextualise the future 
potential of Wearable Technologies in a variety of fields ranging from 
military application to fine art.   Wearable Futures is an interdisciplinary 
conference, which aims to bring together practitioners, inventors, and 
theorists in the field of soft technology and wearables including those 
concerned with fashion, textiles, sportswear, interaction design, media and 
live arts, medical textiles, wellness, perception and psychology, IPR, 
polymer science, nanotechnology, military, and other relevant research 
strands.   We will be examining how some broad generic questions will be 
explored in relation to wearable technology including but not restricted to: 
aesthetics and design, function and durability versus market forces; the 
desires, needs and realities of wearable technologies; technology and 
culture; simplicity and sustainability; design for wearability; wearables as 
theatre and wearables as emotional ‘tools’.
