Wearable
Technology

Research Overview

This research portfolio examines wearable computing as a design space — one in which the body itself becomes the interface. Moving away from hand-held and desktop paradigms, wearable technology places computational power, sensing, and feedback at the scale of the human form.

For Serkan Ekenel, the wearable space is of particular interest as a frontier for assistive technology — devices that integrate seamlessly into the physical experience of disability, rather than requiring additional tools or apparatus.
