Abstract
This thesis analyses the human-computer symbiosis through the role of
technological advancements and developments on wearable technologies. It
embraces the mutual relationship between men and the machine in a
theoretical aspect and tries to narrate the correlation with a wearable sensor
glove application. The interactivity of the current wearable technologies and
human case profiles are touched upon. The main objective is to observe and
uncouple the transitional stages of mobile media that carries today’s human
being to the prospective post-human.
