초록

The impact of wearable technology on our lives has significantly expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting its importance as an area for future development. This study proposes an improved design methodology for developing wearable technology that is more convenient, useful, creative, and innovative from the user’s perspective. First, it analyzes the development trajectory of wearable technology, identifying the increasing importance of fashion and the need for an enhanced UX (user experience) design. It also emphasizes the application of Futures Thinking to foster more creative and innovative ideas. Second, it compares different approaches to fashion, design, and technology in the context of wearable technology. By merging elements from these fields, a new design methodology is proposed. Third, a wearable technology design workshop was designed and conducted to apply and refine the proposed methodology. The results of this study are presented as a comprehensive methodology for designing wearable technologies. This approach underscores the crucial role of design in technology-related convergence fields and has significant social and practical implications for both academic research and the industrial sector.
