Summary:

«FROM ANTI-INFIDELITY RINGS to masks that change color with your emotions, wearable technology seems to have creeped into nearly every aspect of daily life. These rapidly developing sensors can serve as valuable tools for athletes, futuristic fashionistas, and even military personnel due to the massive amounts of helpful data they can amass.»

The proof-of-concept paper was recently published in the journal Science.»
