Engineers at Dartmouth College and the University of Waterloo have developed a prototype smartwatch that rotates, hinges, rises and orbits to ensure its face is aimed at the user, regardless of their wrist's orientation. The technology seeks to improve smartwatches' limited adoption by making them more convenient for users, according to Xing-Dong Yang, assistant professor of computer science at Dartmouth University.
