February 2014 — Wireless RERC researcher, Jim Mueller, introduced the 5th annual “Getting Wireless” universal design challenge to 29 second-year Industrial Design students at Virginia Tech (VT). Along with the VT students, 40 second-year and 19 third-year Industrial Design students at GA Tech will begin the challenge in March. The theme of the 2014 “Getting Wireless” challenge is wearable technologies. Hands-on demonstrations of Google Glass will be provided to the students at the beginning of the project to offer them a starting point and encourage them to consider the diversity of emerging wearable devices. Final project designs will be presented at the HEAL event in May.
