What is the future of tech digital products? It's smart sneakers that can be worn on your feet, smart watches that can be worn on your wrist, smart glasses that can be worn on the bridge of your nose to show you another world, and TWS headphones that hang on your ears to give you a wireless audio experience. They have a unified name, called "smart wearable devices". Along with the continuous updating of smart device technology, the functions of wearable devices are now developing in a diversified direction. Today, let's talk about it!
Smart watches/smart bracelets/smart rings
Smart watches and bracelets should be the kind of wearable devices that we see most in our daily life. Their functions are added to monitoring data, measuring heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, pedometer, calling, texting, music and so on, in addition to watching time. In the future development of technology, smartwatches will be infused with more physiological features and high-tech content. In the automotive field, smart watches can be used to unlock car doors, interconnect with in-vehicle systems, learn about car conditions, mileage, refueling, associated multimedia, etc., to realize real-time communication between cars and people, and in addition, it can be combined with facial recognition technology to remind passengers to pay attention to driving safety.
AR/VR/MR head-mounted all-in-one
Smart glasses are also typical of smart wearables, and the functions in the Iron Man glasses in the Marvel Universe are also expected to be fully realized in the future. AR glasses are injected with face recognition, and you can know who you are by sweeping them, which makes it easy for law enforcement officers to quickly identify criminals in the crowd, blink to take a picture, and immersive gameplay under VR glasses, video calls, viewing maps, reading emails, location, headphones, etc. In the automotive field, with automotive smart glasses, drivers don't have to keep looking at the dashboard, location and other information. Currently, it is mainly oriented to the education, medical, retail, aerospace and even military fields, and the consumer-grade market is dominated by audio-visual entertainment, which still needs to be further cultivated.
In recent years, the wearable market has been growing rapidly due to the increasing demand for connectivity between people, places and things. Smart wearables are the best example of integrating advanced technology towards items such as eyewear, bracelets, clothes and watches. It is important to consider that many of these wearables are used for health purposes, monitoring people's health data. The growing demand for heartbeat monitoring, the need for daily activity monitoring and rising health awareness are driving the smart wearables market.
The current wearable smart devices are smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, VR headsets, smart helmets, and smart sneakers.
The current smart glasses market, mainly by combining smart audio with the form of glasses, so that it has the functions of both, can be used for fashion decoration, but also has an open audio use experience. But this is only the beginning of the various manufacturers in the direction of smart glasses, with the continuous development of technology, smart audio glasses in the future will gradually be linked with visual technology to realize part of the function of AR augmented reality, providing richer applications.
What is wearable technology
What is wearable device technology
Wearable technology is the 1960s, the United States Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Laboratory put forward innovative technology, the use of the technology can be multimedia, sensors and wireless communications and other technologies embedded in people's clothing, which can support a variety of interactions, such as gestures and eye movement operation.
Purpose of Wearable Technology
To enable rapid data access through "intrinsic connectivity" and to efficiently stay socially connected through the ability to share content at ultra-fast speeds. A seamless web access experience that eliminates the need for traditional handheld devices.
Wearable health devices are another branch of wearables that have evolved with the creation of wearable devices, which have been on the rise since the 1960s. In the 1970s, inventor Alan Lewis built a wearable computer with a digital camera that could predict the outcome of casino roulette.
In 1977, C.C. Colin of the Smith-Kettlewell Institute's School of Visual Sciences made an undershirt for the blind that converted the images from a head-mounted camera into tactile imagery through a grid on the undershirt, allowing the blind to "see," which, broadly speaking, could be considered the world's first wearable. In a broad sense, this could be considered the world's first wearable health device.
EVERY Labs believes that the field of health is where wearable devices should be prioritized for development and optimal future, and that the essence of wearable health devices is the intervention and improvement of human health. Wearable devices are also from the "information collection" to "direct intervention" development, wearable health equipment refers to the urban population for a variety of common diseases. For example: anytime and anywhere to the cervical spine to do a relaxation massage, and even direct intervention in brain waves to help people sleep. In this regard, foreign melon and domestic every have put forward their own innovative products in this regard.
Wearing comfortable, even senseless. To be completely senseless is still a pipe dream for today's wearable health devices. But trying to be as lightweight and compact as possible is what all companies are striving for. Wearable health equipment and professional medical equipment, although the effect is not as good as the professional equipment, but its advantage lies in the convenience of the body, anytime, anywhere, health care treatment, for the prevention and alleviation of disease has a great advantage.
The use process should not interfere with normal life. Consumers cannot accept health devices that require dedicated time and constantly challenge their patience. Therefore, wearable health devices should be designed with due consideration not to interfere with the user's normal life and work.
The appearance should be suitable for the occasion and environment of use. Sometimes, it is not possible for wearable devices to be "invisible". But if they look good enough for the environment, or even cool enough, then users won't mind wearing them around.
What are wearable smart devices
Currently, wearable smart devices include smartwatches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, VR headsets, smart helmets, and smart sneakers.
In summary, there are four main advantages:
One, wearable devices are more convenient to operate. Like a smartphone compared to the PC can be more portable, wearable smart devices compared to other mobile devices is not only more portable, in the use of more convenient, it can almost completely rely on the body's natural movements to realize the operation, such as through the blink of an eye to take a picture, waved to open the recording and so on. This is obviously more enticing than holding your hands to the device buttons, swiping, flipping through menus, and searching.
Two, wearable devices are carried 24 hours a day. Although smartphones are popular, it is always impossible to hold at night to sleep, but watches, wristbands and other wearable devices can be. Of course, holding and sleeping is not considered an advantage, however, the ability to carry characteristics around the clock is conducive to the convenience of continuous health or medical monitoring of the user. In addition, through the skin vibration for silent sleep wake-up, etc. 24 hours a day, close to the characteristics of the wearable device is not easy to be stolen or lost.
Third, wearables are more beautiful and stylish. Many people buy iPhone 5, because of the fashion is beautiful to be attracted, rather than take into account the powerful features, and even some purely for the vanity of showing off to meet, the real use of the function is still limited to call and send text messages to chat, less use of other software. I believe that the future production of smart necklaces, smart earrings or smart bracelets, better than no practical use of jewelry. Naturally do not rule out the use of jewelry, gold and diamonds inlaid wearable devices, which is the first choice to show off the rich.
Four, wearable devices to enhance human capabilities. With the rapid development of cloud computing, wearable devices to bring the user's computing power will be extremely powerful. As wearable devices are almost integrated with the human body, the powerful computing ability brought by them is like a birthright, just like every person with superpowers.
