The field of wearable technology has grown a lot over the last few years.

Devices like Google Glass and Apple Watches make a lot of headlines, but the technology has a lot of different uses — from fashion to health and fitness to gaming. And now, we can add music making to that list.

Seth Thorn is a professor in Arizona State University's School of Arts, Media and Engineering and teaches a class on wearable music. He stopped by KJZZ's studio recently with one of his students, ASU junior and musician Cristian Jeffries, to talk about the technology — and where it could be headed.
