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 become reality and make Apple Watch look like Timex of the Beatles) were designed by Frog Design Inc.
They will present their work at South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, Texas, from today 13 March to 17 March.
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, in Bloomberg.
"And what you see are these first steps. We are at the stage where reality overtakes the imagination. "
