What is the future of digital products? It is a smart sneaker that can be worn under your feet, a smart watch that can be worn on your wrist, smart glasses that can be worn on your nose to show you another world, and TWS headphones that can be hung on your ears to give you a wireless audio experience. They have a unified name, called "smart wearable devices". With the continuous updating of smart device technology, today, the functions of wearable devices are developing in a diversified direction. Today, let's talk together!
A smart watch/bracelet/ring
Smart watches and bracelets should be the most common wearable devices in our daily life. Its functions include monitoring data, measuring heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, step counting, making phone calls, sending text messages, music and other functions. In the future development of science and technology, smart watches will be injected with more physiological characteristics and high-tech content. In the field of automobiles, smart watches can be used to unlock doors, connect with in-vehicle systems, and learn about automobile conditions, mileage, refueling and related multimedia. To realize real-time communication between cars and people. In addition, they can be combined with facial recognition technology to remind passengers of driving safety.
AR/VR/MR headset
Smart glasses are also typical of smart wearable devices. The function of Iron Man glasses in the Marvel universe is also expected to be fully realized in the future. AR glasses are infused with the function of face recognition, so that you can know who you are by scanning, which is convenient for law enforcement officers to quickly identify criminals in the crowd, blink and take photos, immersive games under VR glasses, video calls, view maps, read emails, locations, headphones and so on. In the automotive field, with smart glasses, drivers don't have to look at dashboard, location and other information all the time. At present, it is mainly oriented to education, medical care, retail, aerospace and even military fields, and the consumer market is mainly audio-visual entertainment, which still needs further cultivation.
In recent years, the wearable market has developed rapidly due to the increasing demand for the connection between people, land and things. Smart wearable devices are the best example of integrating advanced technology into glasses, bracelets, clothes and watches. It must be considered that many of these wearable devices are used for health purposes and monitor people's health data. The increasing demand for heartbeat monitoring, daily activity monitoring and the improvement of health awareness are all promoting the development of the smart wearable device market.
At present, wearable smart devices include smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, VR headsets, smart helmets and smart sports shoes.
At present, the smart glasses market mainly combines smart audio with the shape of glasses, so that it has two functions, which can be used for fashion decoration and open audio experience. However, this is only the beginning of manufacturers in the direction of smart glasses. With the continuous development of technology, smart audio glasses will be gradually linked with visual technology in the future to realize some functions of AR augmented reality and provide richer applications.
What is wearable technology?
What is wearable device technology?
Wearable technology is an innovative technology put forward by MIT Media Lab in 1960s. Through this technology, technologies such as multimedia, sensors and wireless communication can be embedded in people's clothes, which can support gestures and eye movements.
The purpose of wearable technology
Achieve fast data acquisition through "internal connection" and maintain social contact efficiently through ultra-fast content sharing ability. Get rid of traditional handheld devices and get a seamless network access experience.
Wearable health equipment is another branch of wearable equipment which is gradually derived with the appearance and development of wearable equipment. Wearable devices have gradually emerged since the 1960s. In 1970s, the wearable computer with digital camera made by inventor AlanLewis could predict the outcome of casino roulette.
1977, C.C. C.Colin of the School of Visual Sciences of Smith-Kettlewell Institute made a vest for the blind, and the images obtained by the head-mounted camera were transformed into tactile images through the grid on the vest, so that the blind could "see" it. In a broad sense, it can be regarded as the world's first wearable health device.
Every laboratory thinks that the health field is the priority and the most promising field for wearable devices. The essence of wearable health equipment is the intervention and improvement of human health. Wearable devices are also developing from "information collection" to "direct intervention". Wearable health equipment refers to various common diseases of urban people. For example, relaxing and massaging the cervical spine anytime and anywhere, and even directly interfering with brain waves to help people sleep. In this regard, foreign melons and domestic families have put forward their own innovative products in this regard.
Comfortable to wear, even without feeling. If you want to be completely insensitive, it is still a fantasy for today's wearable health devices. But trying to be light and small is the direction of all enterprises. Compared with professional medical equipment, wearable health equipment is not as effective as professional equipment, but its advantage is that it can treat the body conveniently anytime and anywhere, and it has great advantages in preventing and alleviating diseases.
The use process should not interfere with normal life. Consumers can't accept health equipment that takes time and constantly challenges their patience. Therefore, wearable health equipment should be fully considered in the design, so as not to affect the normal life and work of users.
The appearance should be suitable for the occasion and environment. Sometimes, wearable devices are not "invisible". However, if the appearance of these devices is suitable for the environment or even cool enough, then users don't mind marching in the city wearing such devices.
What wearable smart devices are there?
At present, wearable smart devices include smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, VR headsets, smart helmets and smart sports shoes.
To sum up, there are four main advantages:
First, wearable devices are more convenient to operate. Just as smart phones are more portable than PCs, wearable smart devices are not only more portable than other mobile devices, but also more convenient to use. They can almost completely rely on the natural actions of the human body to achieve the operation, such as blinking, waving, opening the recording and other photo actions. This is obviously more attractive than holding the device button with both hands, sliding, flipping through menus and searching.
Second, wearable devices are carried around the clock. Although smart phones are popular, they can't sleep at night, but wearable devices such as watches and bracelets can. Of course, sleeping with arms is not an advantage, but it can be carried around the clock, which is conducive to continuous health or medical monitoring of users. In addition, silent sleep awakening through skin vibration and so on. The 24-hour close-fitting feature makes wearable devices not easy to be stolen or lost.
Third, wearable devices are more beautiful and fashionable. Many people buy iPhone5 because it is fashionable and attractive, not because it is powerful. Some people are even content to show off their vanity. When it is really used for functions, it is still limited to making phone calls, texting and chatting, and other software is used less. I believe that smart necklaces, smart earrings or smart bracelets produced in the future are better than jewelry that has no practical use. Naturally, wearable devices inlaid with jewelry, gold and diamonds are not excluded, which is the first choice to show off wealth.
Fourth, wearable devices enhance people's abilities. With the rapid development of cloud computing, wearable devices will bring enormous computing power to users. Because wearable devices are almost integrated with the human body, powerful computing power is like being born, just like everyone has super powers.
