Exploring the future of wearable technology in fitness through speculative design.
"The Samsung Design Center is a team within Samsung tasked with looking at the future of electronics/technologies. They are seeking a team of students to explore the many possibilities and potential future(s) of wearable technologies and fitness."
Teams are tasked with reimagining how wearables integrate into our lives and how they can encourage fitness, leveraging both Samsung's existing and emerging technologies. Working in small groups, students will serve as design strategists to research, ideate and generate artifacts and stories that describe these future scenarios."
Problem statement
Within all levels of fitness exists potential for injury. While preventing individuals from conducting fitness activity, past and possible injury discourages users from attempting any activity.
Opportunity
There is an opportunity to create a wearable product that reduces users’ risk of getting injured during workouts by facilitating their warm-up and cool-down processes, offering support to one’s body joints, and even correcting people’s exercise postures.
