The World's largest exhibition for wearables has opened in Brother and it is already producing some headline news. Smart glasses, including ones that measure brainwave patterns and Toshiba's "Wearvue" that allows a user to watch a 13-inch sized screen from a distance of 1.25 meters, and fabrics, such as an electronic kimono, appear to be the most popular. One wearable expected to be of particular interest is a pet collar, developed by Anicall, that can analyse over 40 kinds of movements to discern our pet's emotions; owners will be able to tell if their pets are happy, relaxed, want to play or are annoyed by using a smartphone application that links to the advice. Anicall's gadget is different from rivals as it can be used on cats as well as dogs, which should tap into a soaring popularity of feline pets; the pet collar is due to hit the market in April.
