Wearable computer expands our communication ability | Kenich SUZUKI | TEDxKobe

Often when interacting with others, it's hard to express the exact image you have in your mind. SUZUKI Kenichi tries to solve this by his invention "Wearable Computing," an idea that suggests a whole new style of communication. This device may be the key to expanding human's empathy towards others, or even our creativity.
Imagine the world with the communication system of the next generation - who would you want to have at the other end of your line?

The way of communication, which has been greatly changed by the use of the Internet and smartphones, is now going to get influenced by “wearable computers” which people can wear like eyeglasses. Wearable devices may provide you opportunities to make yourself understood just by sharing what you are looking at even when you find difficulty with now-existing communication tools despite your best efforts. Wearable computer is going to make such a world happen. This new technology will bring us not only the convenience to the present world, but also the possibility in the future. In his talk that he will tell us the future is just around the corner.
