Wearable Tech:

Beauty Technician, Katia Vega has created a new type of wearable that fully crosses over into wearable technology. So far, she has focused mainly on nail tech and eyelash tech and the results are pretty cool. She can attach "RFID tags, small magnets or conductive polish" to false nails so that the user can use hand motions timing to interact with electronics in their environment. She can also do a similar thing with false eyelashes where she uses conductive makeup to that when a user blinks at an object, she or he can interact with it. She has examples where she uses the nails to play music which is extremely and could be used implicated in many different ways. Both from an interactive art way and as an everyday wearable device. Also, the tech can communicate through different materials such as wood or water.
