Why are wearables so popular?
Recently, wearable devices have become the focus of the industry. The first is that Google launched Google Glass and commercialized it; then Apple, Google, Sony, Samsung, etc. got together to develop a variety of wearable watches. Why are wearable devices so popular? This article does a concise analysis.
Although the industry has made a lot of speculation, most people analyze it from an alternative perspective, such as replacing a traditional watch with a wearable watch. In my opinion, the dimensions of analysis for wearable devices should be multifaceted. Can be roughly divided into the following dimensions:
1, the dimensions shown
2, the calculated dimension
3, the dimensions of the collection
4, portable dimensions
Let's analyze one by one below.
1, the dimensions shown
When you see the concept of a wearable watch, the first reaction is that it is first and foremost a substitute for a traditional watch that can display time. At the same time, due to the rapid development of low-power chips such as ARM architecture chips, it can be used as a powerful computing device and connected to the Internet through wireless and replace some functions of smart phones such as mail, camera, short message, music player, GPS. and many more.
The person with this kind of thinking dimension must be a smartphone manufacturer, which makes the smartphone bigger and becomes a tablet computer; it is made smaller and becomes a smart watch.
2, the dimensions of the collection
People who use the dimension of acquisition often do people in the health care field, or do psychology. One prototype is a running watch. People wear such watches and can watch various times: regular time, countdown, counters, etc.; they can also monitor heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature and so on. Such a device is a collector of various physiological parameters of the body, and then uses developed computing power to perform calculations to make state judgments for people's health.
If combined with cloud services, then this collection tool will have unlimited room for development, and even people are thinking about what, how to think, what they are about to do, can be clearly calculated. Because any thinking activity, mental activity, nerve activity, and physiological activity of a person are developing in a measurable direction, you can understand yourself more than you know, and let others know yourself better than yourself.
3. Calculated dimensions
The mainframe I used in the 1980s had only 256k of memory, but I needed a floor to protect it. Today, dual-core smartphones have more computing power than the best personal computers of 2 years ago. Obviously, in the near future, such computing power will appear on any device, any chip.
So what can a portable, small computing chip with huge computing power do?
The ability to calculate weather, calculate traffic, and be able to translate on-site in real-time, with on-the-spot emergency command, can easily achieve what great scientists can do.
Chess, poker, and landlord are all handed over to it. In the future, when a few friends fight the landlord, they are either in the bathroom, and everyone is not allowed to wear clothes and return to the original ecology; The smart competition between them, just like the mobile phone operator you use today determines the quality of your call.
4, portable dimensions
The essence of wearable devices comes from portability.
The development history of computing, on the one hand, is farther away from people, drifting to the unknown location of the cloud. You don't even know where the remote computing power is, maybe in Beijing, maybe in Shanghai, maybe in the US, maybe on Mars.
Another aspect of the history of computing is getting closer and closer: physical equipment from the building to the room, from the room to the desktop, from the desktop to the backpack, from the backpack to the pocket, now from the pocket to the wear, the final The ending is to be one with the people.
Indeed, the smartphone with the imported pocket is just a transitional product and a compromise product. What should the terminal display of the 3G era I published 4 years ago? In the blog post, it is inferred that with the improvement of chip computing power and the breakthrough of display technology, the future must be:
"The display and the computing unit are separated, each doing their own thing, and then wired or wirelessly connected to each other."
Ok, first portable into wearable. For example, shoes, belts, watches, eyes, helmets, shorts, vests, rings, etc., what about using these wearable devices? It can be divided into two stages. The first is the extension of traditional products. For example, military eyes and Google’s eyes are not the same thing. It can see everything: infrared function, ultraviolet function, large aperture function, ultrasonic function, remote sensing function, etc. It has stronger infrared sensing ability than snakes, stronger perspective function than X-ray, stronger night vision function than owl, and stronger sound wave detection function than bat. Connected to the satellite, you will see everything in this place carefully.
In turn, it is analysis and intelligent action. For example, if you want to do things, you can control your heart. Going back to the military eye just now, you can see more goals and analyze and judge the goals clearly. For example, in the street fighting, you are all civilians in front of you, who are soldiers, who are civilians, you can hardly separate. With military eyes, these are especially simple. The X-ray can directly scan for the presence of the device; then, the video is transmitted back to the cloud, and the history of all life within a few meters of the circle is analyzed in real time, and then those who may be dangerous are displayed. Then the eyeball or personal radar directly controls the weapon and destroys the target. Some people think that this is a far-reaching thing. In fact, from the state in which the eye tracking technology has entered a practical state, it will not exceed five years until the stage just described.
From the above analysis, we can see why everyone is so keen on wearable devices.
Wearable devices have huge room for development. They also suggest that the development of mobile Internet will far exceed our predictions. We need to study and communicate diligently, not complacent, and we must not build cars behind closed doors. If you are hesitant, you will fall behind. Learning, opening, communicating, and sharing are the most important factors for maintaining progress.
The space for wearable products is enormous, and further development: computing devices become one with people. In this regard, the development of technology is also very fast, and has been practiced in the medical and military fields.
