Material Meetup Hong Kong:
Future Wearable Device and Material

Wearable devices, including HMDs for VR / AR, wristwatches, wristbands, rings, and many other types of devices, support human activities in all areas, such as health management, exercise, and entertainment, as “wearable technology. Wearable devices, which have been designed to fit comfortably into the body, are expanding their field of application with the evolution of material technology.

How will wearable technology change and fit into our lives in the future? In this session, we will discuss the future of wearable devices and materials with innovators who are developing wearable devices and applications that follow the whole body from head to toe. There will be a showcase of future wearable innovation at The Mills Fabrica on the day of the event.

Material Meetup is a gathering of manufacturers, craftsmen, and creators involved in manufacturing with the theme of “material”.

• People who “develop materials” that are in search of possibilities and demands in new areas.
• People who “manufacture materials” that have access to unique processing techniques.
• People who “research materials” that aim for a sustainable society.
• People who “design from materials” that are in search of various materials that can be used for complex designs, including their function, texture, and design ability.

From the point of view of “design and technology” and also “society and material”, those types of people cross over barriers in the business world to openly interact with each other, and they are continuously creating opportunities for new projects to come into being .

By learning about the traits and charms of a material that cannot be understood merely from catalog specs, everyone thinks about new scenarios where those materials are likely to be used. With “material” at its core, this is a place where the seeds of projects and collaborations that traverse fields are repeatedly occurring simultaneously.

This is an event co-hosted by The Mills Fabrica and FabCafe HK with a goal to discover the potential of material innovation with industry leaders and creators in Asia.

As the first Material Meetup in Hong Kong, this hybrid event will be hosted offline at Fabrica Atrium at The Mills Fabrica with online streaming. RSVP now!
