When MODA presented On You: Wearing Technology, wearable technology and head-mounted displays were in the press daily. But why? While the basic technology had existed for decades, only recently had these devices become practical and desirable.

On You studied the challenges along the road to making a wearable computer: power and heat, networking, mobile input, and display through examples of consumer, professional, and “maker” devices.

The exhibition also included personal stories of individuals familiar with wearable technology (whether through use or creation) and asked viewers a simple question: “Are you wearing technology? Is technology ON YOU?”
