Dear Elphas,I have the opportunity of writing a chapter of a book about UX and IoT. The chapter I will be writing is about UX and Wearables. I'm planning to bring in case studies and I would love to feature wearables that are created by women!!If you are a woman of wearable or you know one please get in touch with me and let's discuss this opportunity!

Hi, I'm not usually on Elpha, but I saw this linked to elsewhere. I've created a number of LED wearable projects over the years, some of which are on my blog: geekmomprojects.com, and patented and created an LED wearable commercial product aimed at enticing girls to learn to code with wearables: brightwearables.com. If that fits with your interests, you can reach me at debra(at)brightwearables.com

Hi! I shared this with a group of hackers / makers, and here's what someone said in response:"I recommend the works of Hanna Plusea, Nan Wei Gong, and Jie Qi"Hope that's helpful :)

Sweet! Also, check out the work from glowascii (https://twitter.com/glowascii?lang=en). She made a wearable robot owl named Archimedes! (https://www.hackster.io/glowascii/archimedes-the-ai-robot-owl-325ff5)
