"Wearable smart devices" is a general term for devices that use wearable technology to intelligently design and develop devices that can be worn on a daily basis, such as glasses, gloves, watches, apparel, and shoes.
Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include full-featured, large-sized devices that do not rely on a smartphone to achieve full or partial functionality, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as devices that only focus on a certain type of functionality, and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as a smartphone, such as various types of smart bracelets and smart jewelry that are used to monitor physical signs. With the advancement of technology and the changing needs of users, the form of wearable smart devices and the hotspot of application are also changing.
Wearable technology has always been of great interest to international computer academia and industry, but because of the high cost and complexity of the technology, many related devices have remained in the conceptual realm. With the development of the mobile Internet, technological advances and the introduction of high-performance, low-power processing chips, some wearable devices have moved from conceptualization to commercialization, and new wearable devices continue to be released, many technology companies have begun to explore this new field in depth.
Basic introduction Chinese name: wearable smart devices Time: 1960s Application: industrial, medical, military, education Inventor: Steve Mankiw Development history, history of development, development prospects, consumer forecast, product features, application areas, related debate, related books, development history Development history Wearable smart devices have many years of development history, the idea and prototype in the 1960s has appeared, and the wearable smart devices have been developed in the 1960s, the idea and prototype in the 1960s has appeared in the 1960s. Ideas and prototypes appeared in the 1960s, and devices in the form of wearable smart devices appeared in the 1970s and 1980s. Steve Mann's wearable computer prototype based on the Apple-II 6502 computer was one of the representatives. With the rapid development of standardized hardware and software as well as Internet technology, the form of wearable smart devices has begun to diversify, and has gradually demonstrated significant research value and potential for use in many fields, including industrial, medical, military, education, and entertainment. Wearable Smart Devices At the academic research level, research institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Carnegie Mellon University, the School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo, and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have specialized laboratories or research groups focusing on the research of wearable smart devices, and have a number of innovative patents and technologies. Chinese scholars also conducted research on wearable smart devices in the late 1990s. In the field of institutions and related activities, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has established the Wearable IT Technology Committee and set up columns on wearable computing in several academic journals. The international academic conference on wearable intelligent devices, IEEE ISWC, has been held for 18 times since it was first held in 1997. With the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), three national academic conferences on wearable computing have been organized and held under the auspices of the Chinese Computer Society, the Chinese Society of Automation, and the Chinese Society for Artificial Intelligence. In addition, the National Natural Science Foundation of China and China's "863 Program" have also supported a number of wearable smart devices related technology and product development projects. Development Prospects Watches or glasses will become part of the human body, just like skin and arms. In the farther future, cell phones may simply implant chips into the human body, can help you make phone calls directly through dialog, help you order restaurants, know all your privacy, and your degree of intimacy with you even more than your family - may no longer be implanted in the human body chip, they have become part of the human body's genes, and can participate in human reproduction and evolution. Future Development The intent of wearable smart devices is to explore new ways of interacting with people and technology, and to provide exclusive, personalized services for each individual, while the computing method of the device should undoubtedly be based on localized computing - only then can it accurately locate and sense each user's personalized, unstructured data, and form the basis of the user's own personalization. Only in this way can we accurately locate and perceive each user's personalized and unstructured data, form unique and exclusive data calculation results on each person's mobile device, and in this way, find the truly meaningful needs directly to the user's heart, and ultimately unfold a variety of specific targeting *** through the rules of touching with the central computation. Wearable smart devices have come from fantasy into reality, their appearance will change the modern lifestyle. Consumption forecast By 2016, the size of the global market for wearable smart devices, will reach $6 billion. In order to occupy a favorable leading position, the world's leading companies have already taken the lead in blowing the horn. In the first two to three years of its introduction, this is an insignificant niche market, but in the next three to five years, this sector will generate significant revenues. In 2017, 70 million internet-enabled wearable smart devices will be sold, up from 15 million in 2013. Such devices in the market are mostly sports monitoring devices from sports health brands. Product Characteristics Wearable devices should have the two most important characteristics: wearable for a long period of time and smart. Wearable devices must be continuously wearable on the human body and be able to bring about an enhanced user experience. Such devices need to have advanced circuitry, be wirelessly networked and have at least a low level of stand-alone processing power. For example, the signal is transmitted via Bluetooth on a cell phone. The advent of the era of wearable smart devices implies an extension of human intelligence, through which people can better perceive external information and their own information, process information more efficiently with the assistance of computers, the Internet, or even other people, and achieve more seamless communication. The field of appliance can be divided into two main categories, namely self-quantization and in vitro evolution. In the field of self-quantification, the most common are the two major application segments, one is the sports and fitness outdoor field, and the other is the healthcare field. In the former, the main players are professional sports and outdoor manufacturers and some start-ups, with lightweight watches, bracelets, accessories as the main form, to achieve sports or outdoor data such as heart rate, step frequency, barometric pressure, diving depth, altitude and other indicators of the monitoring, analysis and services. As for the latter, the main participating manufacturers are medical portable device manufacturers, providing detection and processing of medical signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, etc. with specialized solutions in more diverse forms, including medical undershirts, belts, and implantable chips. In the field of in vitro evolution, these wearable smart devices can assist users in realizing the enhancement of information perception and processing capabilities, and their application fields are extremely broad, from leisure and entertainment, information exchange to industrial application, users can realize the enhancement or innovation of their own skills by means of wearable devices with diversified sensing, processing, connectivity, and display functions. The main players are innovators in high-tech manufacturers and academic institutions, and the product forms are mainly full-featured smart watches and glasses, which do not need to rely on smart phones or other external devices to realize the interaction with the user. Arguments It may be a long time before all this is realized, but a more intimate wearable smart device may be an inevitable part of the technological evolution. In the opinion of American technology columnist Mike Elgan, wearable technology will be a disruptive technology. Over the past few centuries, mankind has sought artificial ways to enhance the body's functions, such as contact lenses that allow people to see more clearly. There is now a widespread view in the industry that just as smartphones destroyed flip phones and tablets destroyed traditional personal computers, the rise of wearable smart devices will destroy smartphones and computers. ForresterResearch, an independent market research firm, judges that wearable tech will lead the next computing revolution. "It allows people to look at technology in a different way and people are moving into a new world where technology interacts with people. People aren't just staring at a screen, it will make suggestions. For example, it's time for you to go for a walk or go shopping. That's something that's hard to do with computers and smartphones." However, wearable smart devices have also raised various concerns. For example, it can make people overly dependent on technology. As smartphones once did, such devices will have a significant impact on things like communication, navigation and efficiency, but they will also make people more obsessed with technology and more likely to ignore what's going on around them. When the threshold for interacting with the digital world is lowered, people are sure to spend more time on it. As another example, wearable smart devices may have some privacy and personal safety implications. Talking on the phone while driving is a dangerous move, but what if you play with your smartwatch a few times or glance at your smart glasses while driving, that's even more dangerous, right? The West Virginia General Assembly has proposed an amendment to an existing bill that would make it "unlawful to use a wearable computer with a head-mounted display while operating a motor vehicle." As with any major technological change, the emergence of wearable smart devices is sure to raise questions, as new technology will always get ahead of the law and people's sense of propriety. But whether people are ready for it or not, the age of wearable devices has arrived.
