报告大纲:

Wearable  technologies have attracted such escalating interests from both manufacturers  and consumers that some experts predict they will be “as big as the smart  phone”. Given the wide coverage by and extreme intimacy between the human body  and clothing, the potential for wearable technologies indeed seems  overwhelming.

For  wearable technologies to gain success in today’s environment however, it is of  critical importance to explore and understand the causes or reasons behind the  seemingly eternity of our clothing form up to now, despite tremendous advances  in both materials and fabrication, and previous failed attempts in transforming  it. Textile  scientists are destined for providing the guidance or answers in this  regard.

This talk  identifies and analyzes the major technical and non-technical issues, to explain  how our  current form of clothing satisfies simultaneously so many – some seemingly  mutually exclusive and demanding – requirements, to have served us so well for so long; why any  attempt to deviate from the vital requirements discussed here will inevitably  cause severe deterioration of clothing performance and deter its consumer  acceptance, and finally why searching for a new  form of cloth is so difficult, if possible.

Wearable  technologies are hence believed most likely to penetrate first into the markets,  as is, where performance and added functionality are critical such as in the  military, sports, medical fields, and under extreme conditions, e.g.  firefighting and polar explorers. Various other applications will only become  integrated into everyday clothing after the technical and business issues  discussed are resolved and proven.
