To Be Awesome
Chris Hughes, Founder

Chris is a hacker, a tinkerer, an inventor, and a Google Glass Explorer.
Interested in developing the experiences that we will one day take for
granted, I’m working hard on developing prototypical experiences.
While we don’t know what the future of wearable computing will hold,
it is fun as hell to invent it.
