All four sensors have a short monofilament that remains embedded in the skin.Event Tracking: All four allow tracking of food and exercise in the companion app and include a notes feature to track meal…

This is a tried and tested process for Apple, but does it make the Series 9 worth upgrading to for existing Apple Watch users or is it more suited for first-time buyers?Design and displayNo matter how…

Out of its door have streamed employees with a small, square device pinned to their chests, not unlike the officer’s bulkier, department-issued body-worn camera. “Been wondering what those are,” the officer said when WIRED visited the company last week.Today, the wondering about Humane’s gadget is over. The company is opening up about its high-tech device designed to be fastened to a shirt or…

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a wearable with batlike sonar that could improve upper-body tracking in virtual reality and other applications. The Cornell team fitted a generic pair of eyeglasses with a tiny sonar system, demonstrating how acoustic signals can be used instead of cameras to capture the body’s movement.Not only would sonar be more efficient in terms of battery consumption, the team told the Cornell Chronicle, but it would also do away with the privacy risks that come with headsets’…
