Imagine a stylish, drone-shaped blade that can be worn as a necklace or bracelet. Or, when the rain starts to fall, the device will fly over your head, turning it quickly enough to keep you dry.
Imagine a bell-like bracelet and take off to drive you on the road when you're gone.
And if walking the streets of the city bothers you with the exhaust gas, think the same device as a filter that will float before your mouth automatically when the levels of air pollution increase.
All these futuristic concepts of wearable drones (which, over the years will come true and make the Apple Watch look like a Timex of its era Beatles) are designed by Frog Design Inc.
They will present their work at South by Southwest interactive in Austin, Texas, from today March 13th through March 17th.
This year Fashion & Wearable Tech I explored the relationship between fashion, art, culture and technology.
"Slowly we have reached the point where the technology can keep its promises. What the science fiction writers have mentioned has happened,” said Roger Entner, an analyst at Recon Analytics LLC, to Bloomberg.
"And what you see are these first steps. We are at the stage where reality overtakes the imagination. "
South by Southwest, which began as a popular music festival, expects 33.000 attendees at this year's SXSW Interactive conference. Fashion & Wearable Tech will have nearly 70 sessions and events, featuring speakers from shopping startups like Wanelo and Tinker Tailor, as well as constructionchip from Intel Corp.
