The Quantum3D Expedition uses augmented reality to provide a wearable computing training resource for the military (Quantum3D). Using accurate simulations of fabricated situations, including visuals, surround sound, and voice command, the Expedition wearable computer design provides better training for the armed services and emergency response workers. As well as being able to reconstruct hazardous situations, it is particularly suited to rehearsal of future missions. Squad level interaction based on a distributed network of individual soldiers all equipped with the Expedition training system.

"The blending of fashion and wearables is interesting. The most grizzled-like worker if he's using a handheld scanner, doesn't care what it looks like. But the moment you have him wrap something on his arm or on his head, he'll go and look in the mirror to see how he looks. When people put wearable technology on, they care about how it looks. They don't want to look stupid. They want to enhance their persona, not degrade it," said Curt Croley, senior director of Motorola Solutions' design and innovation
Kintec Footwear + Orthotics, as the name suggests, is a company that deals with footwear and orthotics. It was founded in 1991 and is one of the premier footwear stores in Canada. However, Kintec does not exist to just sell footwear, it exists to “[help] people stay active for life”. This is what differentiates the company from other big footwear stores like Sportchek. At Kintec, I work closely with the marketing team that plans and produces the different campaigns that promote and drive sales of Kintec’s products and services. The team deals with carrying out promotional strategies that will track and predict what customers want in their products or the services they receive.
Wearable Augmented Reality (WAR) devices are defined as networked, multimedia computers that can be worn as glasses. They utilize “heads-up displays, sensors and earphones to provide an improved interface for these features by overlaying graphics, text, and sound on the physical world” [8]. WAR is a rapidly growing technology that has garnered attention from multinational corporations [2] to tinkerers who build Kickstarter projects [3] in their basement. In fact, the 2013 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle released by Gartner in August 2013 mentions “Augmenting Humans with Technology” as one of six highlighted technologies [1]. Gartner speculates that narrowing the gap between humans and devices will result in productivity gains due to the workforce having quicker access to information.

Google Glass is a new form of technology that has heads turning everywhere. Glass is a wearable computing device with a frame-like construction that is comparable to everyday glasses. The frame consists of nose pads, a touchpad, and a small heads-up display that lies just above the right eye. The problem is not the device itself, but what the device is capable of. A camera lies beside the displa...

The Virtual reality simulation use head mounted displays complete with tracking system. That can make a new recruit do exercise to train them in virtual reality environment help to improve their performance and skill in combat. According (Rene ter Haar 2011) this military application to solve are problem solving and experimentation that can efficient and less cost when use are virtual reality to perform the activity. Simulator system technology can help Army do are good strategy in combat training. FORT BRAGG,N.N.(AUG 1,2012) Army is are responsible to provide realistic training for individual soldiers while mitigating with emerging technology of virtual reality world using simulator technology system to connect with virtual reality.
Ever since their invention many centuries ago, clothes have been used as a way of communicating. The message communicated relies on a number of factors including the social background of both the communicator and the receiver, and the context in which the message is communicated. Although at times the exact message or symbolism one is trying to portray may not be clear, it is evident that clothing has long been embraced as one of the best ways to project one’s desired personal image to those around them.

Wearable computing is the next step to the computer revolutionary world. At MIThril lab, they are working on a wearable computer. Like a sleeveless winter coat or a sweater, they are working toward they goal. With the complicated project, they don’t know the finishing line yet. But with every step the MIThril team takes, they freely document and post on the web for worldwide access. The name MIThril derives from the fictional classic The Hobbit and Lord of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. As comfortable and unnoticeable as the Dwarves’ ring-mail tunic, MIThril’s team promises our gifted society the future clothes of electronic.
Virtual reality is a new exploration in science and technology using advanced and complex mechanics. Virtual reality allows for users to go far beyond simply looking at a computer screen. Instead, the user puts on a special suit or gloves equipped with fiber-optic sensors. These fiber-optic sensors are able to interpret body positions. The user also wears special goggles that have video screens and audio attachments. This equipment allows for the user's complete immersion into a 3-D, computer generated, model of reality (Carr 37). The use of a two-way data transfer is what enables this interaction with an alternate reality to occur. Fiber-optic and electronic cables are attached to the virtual reality equipment in order to record the user's movements (Newquist 93). These cables then send this information, called motion data, to workstations which modifies the graphics in the model. The new information is then sent back to the users headset, displaying a graphic and audio world that is time with his or her movements. It is because of this cabling process that the action/reaction information is continually updated (93).
Shoetopia Sdn Bhd is a company which selling shoe-pad (Feetholic) and it’s be classify as footwear industry of Malaysia. The Malaysian government and trade associations are putting effort to internationalize Malaysian-made shoe to the world. Prof Datuk Dr Jimmy Choo OBE and Datuk Zang Toi has organised The Malaysia International Shoe Festival, MISF, which involve hundreds of local and international shoe brands as a grand shoes event in 2015 to improve the reputation of Malaysia’s footwear. The objective of this event is to nurture young and talented artisans and encourage them to product more popular style shoes to raise up footwear fashion to a higher position. The event was organised jointly by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia in collaboration with the Malaysian Footwear Manufacturers Association (MFMA).

According to Oxford dictionaries, “Augmented Reality” is a technology that provides the user a computer produced image of the real world (“Augmented Reality”). A source states that augmented reality in programing language is the process of combining images and videos from the real world with computer generated data. The development of the new computers has made it possible to engage data with augmented reality. The practical uses of augmented reality started with military instruments such as real time video displays that were being used in airplanes and tanks to detect targets accurately. Augmented reality was also used in video games to increase the realism of the game. Thus, a lot of militaries have used that method to train their soldiers using augmented reality masks by adding equivalent real life time field and enemies (Hosch).

It was developed by Google with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format (google.com).

For hundreds of years, clothing has always been a way for people to express themselves and as the fashion trends continue to change it allows younger minds to open up and have fun creatively to express their personality’s through clothing. Clothing has a lot to say about who you are as an individual. It often depicts nonverbal communication in how it seems to speak without you having to.
