This presentation is a part of my invited talk at UIUX Design Summit 2015, Bangalore organised by UNICOM. Brief - The next wave after mobile Ux is about designing for wearable devices. The market is getting flooded with smart watches, goggles, fitness bands, etc. Designing for wearables is a big challenge for UX designers. Wearable Ux is not just about designing small screen UI, but it covers industrial design, sensor technologies, performance, IoT, etc. In some cases it does not even have a display screen. The presentation discusses various trends in wearables and their technology usages. It compares and provides insights for wearable user experience design & user adoption. The presentation proposes a UX strategy to make wearable UX successful. Some examples on industry usages will be discussed with live demo on smart watch.

Editor's Notes
- How Do Hype Cycles Work? Each Hype Cycle drills down into the five key phases of a technology's life cycle. Technology Trigger:Â A potential technology breakthrough kicks things off. Early proof-of-concept stories and media interest trigger significant publicity. Often no usable products exist and commercial viability is unproven. Peak of Inflated Expectations:Â Early publicity produces a number of success stories â often accompanied by scores of failures. Some companies take action; many do not. Trough of Disillusionment:Â Interest wanes as experiments and implementations fail to deliver. Producers of the technology shake out or fail. Investments continue only if the surviving providers improve their products to the satisfaction of early adopters. Slope of Enlightenment:Â More instances of how the technology can benefit the enterprise start to crystallize and become more widely understood. Second- and third-generation products appear from technology providers. More enterprises fund pilots; conservative companies remain cautious. Plateau of Productivity:Â Mainstream adoption starts to take off. Criteria for assessing provider viability are more clearly defined. The technology's broad market applicability and relevance are clearly paying off.
