New York City, NY, USA (November 2, 2013) — Lisa Eadicicco, Staff Writer at LAPTOP Magazine, will speak at Golden Networking’s Wearable Computing Conference 2013 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), “Revolutionizing the Human Experience Through Next-Generation Technology”, to be held in New York City, on November 7.

Ms. Eadicicco has been reporting on all things mobile for LaptopMag.com since early 2013. When she’s not reviewing smartwatches or playing with heads-up displays, she’s combing through the U.S. patent database for new developments in wearable tech.

Ms. Eadicicco’s work has appeared on outlets such as NBC News, Fox News and Mashable among other websites, and she has been featured in a technology segment on Fox 5’s evening news broadcast. Ms. Eadicicco holds a B.A. in Journalism from SUNY Purchase and has previously covered technology for The International Business Times and Digital Trends.

The future is here, with the production of a new generation of technologies such as Google Glass, Apple “iWatch” and Samsung Galaxy Gear, among others, that will allow users to interact with computing devices that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing. The introduction of smart watches and glasses bring upon economic, social and personal effects that will revolutionize the human experience.

The use of technology has greatly expanded out of the workplace into users’ daily lives. Now the integration of human experience and wearable computing will allow users to enhance each experience. This new wave of technologies will ignite an explosion of innovation which will be the key to advancement for mankind.

The power of “4D Sound” in Able Planet ViviTouch headphones with CEO Dirk Schapeler @WearableCompCon

November 2, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New York City, NY, USA (November 2, 2013) — Dirk Schapeler, Chief Executive Officer of ViviTouch, will be speaker at Golden Networking’s Wearable Computing Conference 2013 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), “Revolutionizing the Human Experience Through Next-Generation Technology”, to be held in New York City, on November 7.

Pioneered by Artificial Muscle, Inc. (AMI), a Bayer MaterialScience company, ViviTouch manufactures haptic gadgets for gaming, mobile devices, and headphones. Its actuators produce a one-of- a-kind cinematic sensation that bridges the senses of seeing, hearing and feeling. AMI is looking to capitalize on the growing market in haptic technology and meet consumer needs. Therefore ViviTouch becomes AMI’s main product in this market. What they didn’t realize at the time was how important their creation would be beyond the entertainment industry.

Mr. Schapeler joined ViviTouch as the CEO in April 2010. Prior to ViviTouch, Schapeler built up the Electro Active Polymers team at Bayer MaterialScience in Germany and worked in the New Business group where he scouted out markets and applications for Electro Active Polymers, as well as new materials for automotive and consumer electronics. Schapeler had also held program management and engineering positions at large automotive suppliers, successfully introducing innovative products to the market place. His experience and expertise in consumer electronics, business management and material technology make him an ideal speaker for this upcoming wearable conference.

How exactly are Able Planet and ViviTouch merging together to enact 4D sound? Able Planet has a technology called Sound Fit. You slide a personal listening device into your ear, press a button, and it expands and locks into the ear canal. “Every time you halve the distance to the ear drum, you double the volume without turning the sound up. If you can seat or deliver sound that close to the ear drum, then the volume you’re providing to the patient…well, you’ll actually be able to activate the hearing in that patient.”

Able Planet’s technology allows an altered audio signal to activate the hearing organs in your ear. Sound travels through the ear drum, the middle ear, and is then processed by the inner ear. ViviTouch technology – which would be the coating around this device – expands to create a wide surface area of contact making it the most efficient bone conduction technology in the world.” “[Their] haptic technology, it circumvents the ear and goes right to the auditory system of the brain.”

Why Apple Hires Burberry’s Angela Ahrendts at Golden Networking’s Wearable Technologies Conference

October 17, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New York City, NY, USA (October 17, 2013) — “I am thrilled that Angela will be joining our team,” Apple CEO’s Tim Cook said in a statement announcing the appointment of Burberry’s CEO, Angela Ahrendts, as the new Head of Retail. “She shares our values and our focus on innovation, and she places the same strong emphasis as we do on the customer experience. She has shown herself to be an extraordinary leader throughout her career and has a proven track record.”

Why would Apple make such a move? Ahrendts was born and raised in a small town, New Palestine, Indiana, a suburb of Indianapolis. She acquired her Merchandising and Marketing degree from Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana, from where she also received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree in 2010. She joined Burberry in January 2006, and took up the position of CEO on July 1, 2006. Prior to that, Ahrendts was Executive Vice President at Liz Claiborne Inc., where she joined the executive team in 1998. During her tenure, she oversaw the Contemporary, Casual, Bridge and Menswear businesses, comprising more than twenty brands and representing 40% of total company revenues. She previously spent six years as President of Donna Karan International.

According to Tim Beyers, Apple wasn’t content to let Google be the top dog in wearable computing. He can’t think of another good reason Apple would hire Ahrendts away from Burberry, one of its best partners in the fashion world. Officially, she’ll take a newly created senior vice president position reporting to Apple CEO Tim Cook. A press release describes the job as overseeing the “strategic direction, expansion, and operation” of Apple’s retail stores — both online and offline.

This and other questions will be debated at Golden Networking’s Wearable Computing Conference 2013 (http://www.wearable-computing-conference.com), “Revolutionizing the Human Experience Through Next-Generation Technology”, to be held in New York City, on November 7.

Wearable technology is related to both the field of ubiquitous computing and the history and development of wearable computers. With ubiquitous computing, wearable technology shares the vision of interweaving technology into the everyday life, of making technology pervasive and interaction frictionless. Through the history and development of wearable computing, this vision has been both contrasted and affirmed. Affirmed through the multiple projects directed at either enhancing or extending functionality of clothing, and as contrast, most notably through Steve Mann’s concept of “sousveillance”.

The history of wearable technology is influenced by both of these responses to the vision of ubiquitous computing. We are now at an inflexion point in the advancement of the adoption of wearable computing. To expand the market for wearable technologies, it is necessary for developers and manufacturers to lead the world to show how the usage of these technologies can revolutionize every aspect of the human experience.

Topics that Wearable Computing Conference 2013 will discuss include:
