Wearing a white wig to keep her secret identity intact, channeling X-Men&#8217;s Storm, Vega was demonstrating her superhero tech at an expo. Each time she blinked with purpose, a tiny circuit nearly invisible to onlookers completed and instructed a controller to move the drone. That circuit was hidden under her wig, and was completed every time a pair of metallic false eyelashes met for a long enough time and connected to conductive eyeliner Vega was wearing. Signals were transmitted to a Zigbee radio, with the receiver kept in the superhero&#8217;s handbag. Sometimes, her blinks instructed animated images that read &#8220;POW, Bam, Zap&#8221; to pop up.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>PSFK<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.psfk.com\/2014\/01\/embedded-electronic-makeup.html\">Makeup with embedded electronics helps the disabled control their devices<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Fri, 24 Jan 2014<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"left\">Advancements in wearable technology enable people with disabilities to carry on with normal daily functions.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Cisco<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/newsroom.cisco.com\/feature-content?type=webcontent&amp;articleId=1308686\">Startup trends for 2014<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Mon, 13 Jan 2014<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"left\">A look at the wearable, shareable &amp; social trends you&#8217;ll see in the coming year..<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>PSFK<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.psfk.com\/publishing\/future-of-wearable-tech\">The Future of Wearable Tech.
