The transformation of frequency of consumption, new forms of communication, and financial availability in the purchasing decision process, is evident, turning these increasingly demanding consumers into prossumers, demanding from the market the convergence which combines diverse functionalities and aesthetic appeal. In this universe are inserted the wearable technologies, where the technological vestment becomes an ally in the lifestyle and communication.
