E252 - The future of wearables is...socks?

This week on the show, we talk about how smart textiles can sense how their users are moving. We also answer some questions from the community about red flags in job descriptions, which part of HF and UX we’re bad at, and difficulties recruiting candidates for interviews.

Recorded live on July 21st, 2022, hosted by Nick Roome with Barry Kirby.
