I’ve been making and using wearable computers in my daily life since 1993 and have been a technical lead and manager on Google Glass since its first year in 2010. It may seem like a paradox, but I argue that bringing technology and computing closer to the body can actually improve communication and attention — allowing technology to get further out of the way.
