According to Rackspace, wearables can increase workplace satisfaction 3.5% and productivity an astounding 8.5%. In fact, 48% of American adults see direct workplace benefits from using wearable technology. If you are looking for wearables that can improve your construction workers’ level of work satisfaction and overall productivity, here are our suggestions.
DAQRI Smart Helmet
The DAQRI Smart Helmet is a perfect choice for you. It lays out work instructions right on their visor, so you can see exactly what needs to be done in the context of your visible workspace. The helmet also supports a 360 navigation camera with HD video recording, photography, 3D mapping. It provides the potential for data mining, compliance optimization, and maintaining construction records is limitless. It helps workers connect the importance of their current task to the overall job.
Redpoint Safety Vests
The Redpoint Safety Vests are must-have piece of construction gears. The GPS integrated on safety vests allow to help workers at their specific geo-targeted location. Moreover, employees carrying the Redpoint badges are instantly alerted when entering pre-defined danger zones on jobsites. Furthermore, actuators can be triggered to slow or deactivate heavy equipment when badges enter within a specific radius. With employees that are constantly on the move, managers can capture location data to understand potential bottlenecks, issues, or inefficient and optimize time management to drive down production costs.
XOEye Smart Glasses
Managers can now monitor their workforce to ensure they’re being productive with XOEye Smart Glasses. These smart glasses are equipped with a camera wired to the internet. Thus, construction professionals can effectively communicate back and forth to accomplish a task. Additionally, the glasses can also be used to scan in data like bar codes.
XOEye Technologies from XOEye on Vimeo.
Myo
Myo can bring many benefits to construction workers. It is a handy wristband. Myo reads users’ arms gestures to turn your hand into controller for a slew of different devices. In conjunction with smart glasses like Epson, Google Glass to take pictures, communicate with co-workers, and mark off task items. This kind of gesture control makes perfect sense for construction workers who are constantly on the go and can’t afford the time to remove gloves or drop equipment in order to operate other computing devices.
Bionic Exoskeleton Suits
Last but not least, the world’s first bionic suit is created to aid construction workers in lifting heavy loads and reduce the risk of injuries from muscle strain. There is no battery required because the suit is entirely analog. Along with this new suit fatigue from heavy tools and injuries from poor lifting techniques, back injuries could very well become a thing of the past.
There are many wearable devices that bring more advantages to construction workers by focussing on innovating existing gear. Were there wearable options that we missed? Don’t hesitate to share with WT | Wearable Technologies construction wearable devices that you particularly enjoy.

The event will also feature Speakable CEO Jordan Hewson and Zipline founder Keller Rinaudo.
While the smartphone revolution continues, the mobile industry is rapidly evolving to include a host of new devices, from drones to virtual reality headsets to wearables.
That broadening of the mobile landscape will be the focus of a Nov. 10 event, An Evening with Code Mobile, which will feature an interview with Clay Bavor, the head of virtual reality at Google and the man behind the company’s just-introduced Daydream View headset.
But Google’s vision for Daydream goes beyond a single headset and envisions Android at the center of a broad array of phones and headsets that will be made by Google and an array of other phone makers.
Also sitting in the red chairs will be Keller Rinaudo, CEO of drone medicine delivery firm Zipline, and Jordan Hewson, CEO of Speakable (and daughter of U2 frontman Bono).
Zipline, for those who haven’t heard, is a California startup working to use drones to deliver blood and eventually medicine to inaccessible areas of developing countries. The company just made its first deliveries of blood and plasma in conjunction with the Rwandan government.
Hewson, meanwhile, started Speakable as a way for people to engage in social action directly from articles on their mobile devices via a signature Action Button. Its publisher partners include Vice, The Huffington Post and The Guardian.
And, of course, there will be plenty of time for cocktails and conversation before and after the formal program.
The event takes place at Ericsson’s campus in Santa Clara, Calif. Space is extremely limited, so if you want to attend, be sure to sign up right away.
How Wearables will support Architecture, Real Estate and the development of Building Infrastructure
At first glance wearables and the real estate industry are miles apart from one another. Look again and you will see that new collaboration trends and standards are bringing these two worlds together faster than you might think. BIM (Building Information Modeling) meets WT is a big trend that hasn’t been on the radar of tech leaders until now. The software, engineering and real estate business are some of the most innovative industries and are already investing heavily in the combination of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) solutions to visualize their 3D infrastructure models.
Upcoming innovations by Microsoft HoloLens, HTC Vive, Google and Facebook, companies like Autodesk, Trimble, Topcon and Nemetschek Group are building significant groundwork for an amazing digitalization trend in real estate, without there being any previous connection to wearables. The Building Information Modeling method will not only be beneficial for big engineering firms with thousands of employees, but also for those with small teams of 5 to 10 engineers.
What is BIM?
We had the chance to speak with Dr. Josef Kauer, President of the BIM World Organization, to get further insights.
Could you please tell us what the purpose of BIM is?
BIM captures the whole lifecycle of real estate, an industrial building or the infrastructure around it – from the scratch to the maintenance, and over the next decade. Before anyone starts to work in the real environment, the whole project is captured and designed in 3D, showing all of the details. That means every cable, every element, and even the energy consumption is captured by a collaborative database. The database is then able to play out all of the features into a 3D model for an amazing visualization with details that have never before been captured virtually.
What do you think is the benefit and the impact of wearable devices on the industry?
Some years from now, imagine an electrical engineer in a building that was designed and built via the BIM standard. He is able to see all of the cables in the walls or any other required infrastructural information via AR glasses, like the Microsoft HoloLens. This is a huge benefit and will save a large amount of money where the maintenance of buildings is concerned.
Besides augmented reality, where else do you see wearables providing additional benefits?
To answer that question, we will have to go a bit deeper into the topic of infrastructure. Indoor positioning or active light animation for the simulation of retail situations, or sensor-driven energy saving etc. are all applications, which will be enabled by such an entirely digitalized building.
Many thanks for your thoughts on this topic. We are looking forward to seeing all of those amazing technologies and innovations at the first BIM World tradeshow in Munich at end of November. Don’t forget to mark this on your calendar. You will see groundbreaking innovations, from Visualization with HoloLens or HTC Vive to the 3D printing of components in the building process. www.bim-world.de

In a month, America walked an additional 144 billion steps, a new Stanford/Microsoft study says.
Pokémon Go’s creators want the hit mobile game to get people out of the house and exploring their neighborhoods. A new study confirms that’s really happening.
In “Influence of Pokémon Go on Physical Activity,” researchers from Microsoft Research and Stanford University studied, over the course of a month, how many steps were recorded by the Microsoft Bands — wearable activity trackers — belonging to Pokémon Go fans. The most engaged fans of the game walked 25 percent more than they did before Pokémon Go’s release.
“We find that Pokémon Go increased activity all across the studied population, largely independent of prior activity level, age, weight status or gender,” the study says. “These results are encouraging since they suggest that any positive effects due to Pokémon Go are available even to sedentary, obese and older users. Effectively reaching these users with physical activity interventions is critical for public health.”
How the researchers separated fans from normies is pretty interesting in its own right. They connected nearly 32,000 Microsoft Band owners’ steps with their Bing search queries, isolating the players from non-players based on the words they searched for.
So, someone Bing-ing only “pokemon go” or a phrase like “pokemon go death san francisco” may not be a player, but the study rationalizes that someone searching for “pokemon go eevee evolution” is trying to better understand how to play the game.
All told, the study estimates that Pokémon Go players across the U.S. walked an additional 144 billion steps in the game’s first month in the wild. It says that if those players were to keep up the same level of increased activity over a longer period of time, they could add nearly three billion years, collectively, to their lifespans.

At a conference in Tokyo on Monday, researchers from MIT and Stanford shared new miniature on-body robots they’ve developed, called Rovables. The tiny robots crawl vertically on unmodified clothing, meaning there’s no need to wear a special shirt to have them drive on you.
The robots are held in place and able to scale garments with the help of magnetic gripping wheels that sit on either side of the fabric. Using sensors and artificial intelligence, the mini-rovers are partially autonomous. The researchers describe a scenario where the on-body robot crawls into your pocket when it’s not needed.
What are they for?
The researchers propose a number of possible use cases: A fleet of the robots could assemble on a wearer’s arm to create a display to watch video on the subway or tap a person on the shoulder when there’s new email. Or the wearable robots might roll up your sleeve or group into a safety light on your back when you’re riding a bicycle.
For the rovers to work well, they need to be able to navigate in 3-D space. The researchers have a model for how it might work, but have yet to build a micro-controller with enough processing power to handle the complex algorithms required for that level of path-planning.
The clothing-clinging robots have onboard batteries that, at the moment, will stay charged for 45 minutes at full capacity before needing more power. But the researchers say that if the robots aren’t moving all the time, the battery life should extend for hours longer. And they’ve designed the Rovables to charge wirelessly.
While Rovables are only a lab-based project at the moment, they do signal a future in which robots may become so ubiquitous they’re crawling all over us. But for now, even those who do buy wearable tech often end up leaving it in the drawer.

In most of our daily activities the energy for muscle work mainly comes from oxidation of glucose and lipids in muscle fibers. Optoelectronic devices driven by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) can play a substantial role in visualizing oxidative metabolism in muscles during rest and exercise: Continuously emitted light of discrete wavelengths between 500 (visible) and 900 nm (near-infrared) penetrates the subcutaneous tissue, underlying vascular beds and muscle fibers. On its way, the light gets partially absorbed and scattered back to a detector. The main signals are the results of the O2 saturations of hemoglobin (Hb) in the vascular bed (small vessels, arterioles and veins).
Special algorithms can derive THI (Tissue Hemoglobin Index) and SmO2 (Muscle Oxygen Saturation) from the absorbance of the light data signals. THI is a trend parameter that highly correlates with the total blood volume. SmO2 (not to be mixed up with SpO2 which is the oxygenation level of the main arterial blood) is the fraction of oxygenated Hb in total Hb within the muscle tissue.
Indication of NIRS in sports science
Measurements of the parameters SmO2, THI, PR, Respiratory Rate (RR) and HRV can be obtained by the sophisticated VIS/ NIRS technology non-invasively, in real-time, wirelessly and without any limitation of the motion path either in field or laboratory environments. Moreover, this technology allows to be applied in everyday training situations yielding the possibility to display the current muscle state. In terms of performance diagnostics, VIS/NIRS systems can be used to underscore the results of lactate diagnostics and cardiopulmonary exercise tests. The area of application ranges from endurance diagnostics, rehabilitation and athletic sports to covering questions in training sciences like load tolerance and the ability to recover from a lack of oxygen. The latency of THI and SmO2 after induced load impacts is very short compared to the reaction of blood lactate levels. Early studies already showed strong correlations between lactate thresholds and decreasing saturation levels. This indication is also found for pH- and ventilatory thresholds concerning muscle oxygen saturation levels.
Current state of research and practical application
Compared to other wearable systems using continuous wave NIRS technology, the new system OXY DR1, manufactured by OXY4 GmbH/Germany, serves with several technical enhancements. The team of OXY4 GmbH invites all research institutes of sports science, sports medicine and training science to take part in the theoretical and practical development of this new technique. Starting in the first quarter of 2017, we offer you our service including the new OXY DR1 system in order to introduce you to the NIRS technology.

Saving your manhood against the sedentary lifestyle, work related stress, accelerated ageing, stopping snoring for a healthy sleep or biopsy for the prostate. Nowadays, we have plenty of devices specially developed and designed for men. Let WT | Wearable Technologies introduce you to some interesting wearable devices for men´s health.
Prostate/Pelvic Coil
ScanMed was born of the need for superior quality products and service for the resonance imaging industry. When the quality and integrity of an image can have life-changing implications, the image truly becomes everything. With that in mind, ScanMed offers the world’s first non-invasive, wearable, and highly accurate Prostate/Pelvic MRI Coil, making them an innovation leader in terms of offering viable diagnostic solutions to the masses. Prostate/Pelvic Coil is a wearable, stain-resistant and fluid-proof coil designed for visualizing the prostate and reproductive organs while also allowing for biopsy. Its flexible material conforms to various body shapes, allowing for a snug, yet comfortable fit. This coil is designed to be used with or without a biopsy probe. ScanMed’s solution-based MRI coils are multi-functional and bring more coverage and wide-spread clinical application with a higher signal-to-noise ratio, solidifying the rank of frontrunner in the MRI coil industry.
VylyV Smart Shorts
VylyV is a lifestyle altering smart training short to peak the bedroom performance and guard the wellness of your manhood against the sedentary lifestyle, work related stress and accelerated ageing. Pelvic floor, known as the ‘love muscle’, is a key factor affecting your bedroom performance. It is also closely related to prostate and urinary health, guarding against signs of ageing such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction. You can use smart sensing as your private coach and provide guidance for pelvic floor training and progressively level up your bedroom performance. You can also include pelvic floor into your daily workout plan to power the core of muscles and maintain prostate und urinary health. VylyV claims the shorts will “peak the sexual performance by pelvic floor training and guard the manhood wellness against the sedentary lifestyle.”
Snore Circle
Snore circle is an affordable and worthwhile product that fosters snore-less sleep all night long. This ingenious wearable relies on sound technologies to decipher requisite information. It then intervenes physically through micro-vibration as well as micro sounds through a range of 54 levels. Simply place Snore Circle on either of your ears and power it on. As long as it is turned on, it will automatically enter its preset working mode, ensuring you get the best sleep you’ve had in a long time. By tightening the throat muscles which consequently expands the airway, snoring will become a thing of the past for you. When your snoring stops the wearable device will revert to its dormant state automatically. Ultimately, this will stop any form of snoring and ensure that the user gets the best night’s sleep. All the data gathered by Snore Circle will be sent to its companion app for further analysis and display.
As you see the men´s health is not neglected by wearable technology. We still have some interesting products specially designed for men apart from usual snore stoppers. Let´s see what comes up next.

Researchers are creating wearable devices that mimic human muscles.
Swiss roboticists are working on a new type of robotic exoskeleton. But it’s not the kind of hulking metal with heavy joinery that may initially come to mind.
Researchers at the Reconfigurable Robotics Lab at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne instead made robots that are soft, like muscle tissue. Their goal is to make biomedical devices that stretch and bend to move more naturally.
The soft robots are made of elastic materials, like silicon and rubber that are molded into small tubes and pumped with air. The tubes balloon and bend in two directions like worms as the air pressure changes. The movement is remarkably lifelike.
The researchers are collaborating with physical therapists to build a back-support belt with clusters of the tiny actuators that help restore motor sensitivity for stroke victims.
They’ve created a model to predict how the small, air-filled actuators deform, depending on their size, shape and material. And since the robots aren’t rigid, the researchers say the technology should be able to tolerate pressure without getting damaged, Science Daily reported.
Right now the air pump is too big to fit directly on the belt, but they hope to eventually make it small enough to wear.
