WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY
 Wearable Technology
Military and industrial applications for wearables
especially emphasize their hands-free aspect,
and concentrate on speech input and heads-up
display or voice output.

Other wearables might also use chording

keyboards, dials, and joysticks to minimize the
tying up of user’s hands.
3D ENVIRONMENT
 3D Environment
Allows you to create objects in 3 dimensional
space. It is widely used by animators and
