What is a wearable technology?
The terms “wearable technology“, “wearable devices“, and “wearables” all refer to electronic technologies or computers that are incorporated into items of clothing and accessories which can comfortably be worn on the body.
The purpose of wearable technology is to create constant, convenient, seamless, portable, and mostly hands-free access to electronics and computers.
DOES MACHINA STILL DO WEARABLES?
The electronics market has been facing a crisis in recent years due to a combination of factors, including the global chip shortage, rising prices, and supply chain disruptions.One of the main challenges the electronics market faces is the shortage of semiconductors, critical components used in a wide range of products, including smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, and cars. The shortage has been caused by a combination of factors, including the disruption of supply chains due to the pandemic, the closure of factories during lockdowns, and increased demand for electronics.As a result of the shortage, the prices of electronics have risen sharply, and some products have become scarce, making it difficult for consumers to find what they need. This has also affected the manufacturing industry, with many companies facing delays in production and struggling to meet their orders.Because of this, we have paused the manufacturing of all of our technological devices. Our mission was always to make wearables accessible to the public.
Due to high costs that made our wearables expensive. We continue to update our app, and work on technology developments per order. We are still waiting the right time to launch OBE Technology (Out of Body Experience)
