Peek into the future and explore wearable technology as it exists today and where it will be in 1, 5 and 20 years. In this interactive class, attendees will get to experience the world through Google Glass and other popular wearable technologies.

Wearables create the ability to connect the physical world and virtual world like no product has ever in the past.

Libraries throughout the world are finding unique ways to utilize wearable technology to create new and explore user experiences and resource sharing.  Join in to hear how wearable technologies are changing the way we will interact with computers, each other, our homes, schools, and libraries in the future.
