Transforming Education with Singularity Technologies, Serap Uğur, Editör, Chapman & Hall/Crc Press, Florida, ss.100-114, 2026
Wearable technologies such as smartwatches, augmented reality (AR) glasses, virtual reality (VR) headsets, and biometric sensors offer new and transformative ways to realize different educational practices. By providing immersive and interactive experiences, wearable technologies are reshaping education by transforming everyday activities into continuous learning opportunities. As wearable technologies evolve from simple activity trackers to sophisticated AI-powered tools, their integration into education opens unprecedented potential for dynamic, data-driven learning and teaching applications that extend traditional educational settings. This chapter presents a broad vision of the role of wearable technologies in education and explores their impact on learning and teaching practices. It also explores how wearable technologies are reshaping educational practices by tracing their capabilities. It discusses the practical use of these devices in educational contexts and situates them within the broader narrative of digital transformation and technological singularity, with a focus on their convergence with AI, machine learning, and big data. In addition, the chapter addresses ethical concerns and privacy issues related to wearable data.
