Powering Wearables Through The Human Body

Charging a watch, then earbuds, then glasses. Every wearable device adds another cable and another evening routine.

It is early work rather than something you can buy. Still, it is the first idea in a while that would genuinely remove the charging habit instead of shortening it.
