The wearable revolution is coming – but when?

They can be used as fashion accessories and to monitor health, but the latest use for wearable technology is in the automotive sector, where it can make the car and driver more intelligent.

The trend for wearables is poised for considerable growth in many industries including automotive, and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2014 saw a plethora of wristwatch tech and smart-eyewear in a new TechZone area of the annual show in Las Vegas, called WristRevolution. All hoping to be the next big thing, Sony released its Smartwatch 2, and Samsung released its Galaxy Gear, but some believe the so-called wearable revolution has yet to arrive.
