Abstract
Wearable technology is very popular in recent years. Since the advent of Glass Google, lots of kinds of wearable devices have been developed. There is more and more wearable technology in education. Through the literature and field survey, the researchers conducted studies on wearable technology and its application in education. We find that the scope of application involves many fields, such as medical, entertainment, health, military, education, and so on. The effective use of wearable technology in education needs to improve the devices to meet the needs of Education.
