Wearable Tech LA
Wearable Tech LA (WTLA) was today at the Pasadena Convention Center. I live blogged WTLA on Twitter. Here are my posts:
In addition to a long list of speakers, the 3 winning teams from Extreme Wearables Designathon (XWD) 2 weeks ago also presented their wearables.
Allia
presented right before my own team, Compass H2O, so Joseph & I were a little focused & I unfortunately didn’t take photos of their presentation. But I did learn that they made whole new protypes since XWD! They got smaller and even more elegant. Like fine jewelry!
Compass H2O
It felt like Joseph and I gave a pretty nice presentation of Compass H2O’s work.
Emoty
gave another impressive presentation. I think this one might have been even better than their 1st presentation!
