Take a closer look at real-world wearable technology on display at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago over at StarWars.com.
For over four decades, the Star Wars universe has played a significant role in either evolving or creating forward-thinking tech that, at the time of inception, was considered limited to the boundaries of speculation and made possible only through the magic of cinema. The examples are nearly endless; from lightsabers to jetpacks to body armor, Star Wars has made the impossible possible in countless ways. But it’s all existed only on the screen — until now.
A newly launched exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI), Wired to Wear™, is showcasing the latest in wearable technology, and many of the items on display have their roots firmly planted in the Star Wars universe. While there are no actual Star Wars props on display, the parallels to real-world tech that visitors can see there are staggering.
