With use of wearables growing and their data more available, let's explore the role many devices can and should play in controlling user interface and experience. With a panel of devices makers, wearable platforms and experience creators, we'll have a conversation about ways where user interface control has been enhanced and also consider where things don't work well. We'll also consider how close we are to future interaction that's been foretold by movies and futurists, and if and when we have the tools to make visions for motion-controlled experiences come true.
