Fashion and theatre sectors among those targeted in wearable tech challenge

Experts are invited to take part in the latest HMGCC Co-Creation challenge, looking for discreet wearable technologies for use in national security and defence.

Under the spotlight will be the latest research into the wearing of inconspicuous technology – looking at factors such as materials, fabrics, clothing design or other solutions.

These wearable devices should be comfortable, flexible and able to help the wearer move freely without interrupting the technology itself.

This funded challenge could appeal to a broad range of experts, not least those working in fashion, theatre, electronics or mechanical engineering.

Those taking part will explore ideas during a two-day interactive sandpit event focused on wearable technologies.
