Why are wearables so popular?
Recently, wearable devices have become the center of attention in the industry. First, Google launched Google Glass and commercialized it; then, Apple, Google, Sony, Samsung and others gathered together to develop various wearable watches. Why are wearable devices so popular? This article does a concise analysis.
Although the industry has made many speculations, most people analyze from the perspective of substitution, such as replacing traditional watches with wearable watches. In my opinion, the dimensions of wearable device analysis should be multifaceted. It can be roughly divided into the following dimensions:
1. The dimensions displayed
2. The dimension of calculation
3. Dimension of collection
4. Portable dimension
The following analysis one by one.
1. The dimensions displayed
When you see the concept of a wearable watch, the first reaction is that it is first an alternative to traditional watches 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, replacing some of the functions of smart phones such as mail, camera, short message, music player, GPS and many more.
People with this kind of thinking dimension must be smartphone manufacturers. They make smartphones larger and make them into tablet computers; they make them smaller and become smart watches.
2. Dimension of collection
People who adopt the collection dimension are often people in the medical and health field, or just psychology. A prototype is a running watch. People wear such watches and can watch various times: regular time, countdown, counter, etc .; they can also monitor heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, etc. Such a device is a collector of various physiological parameters of the body, and then uses developed computing power to perform calculations to make a state judgment for people's health.
If combined with cloud services, this collection tool will have unlimited space for development, and even people can think clearly about what they are thinking, how to think, and what they are about to do. Because any thinking activity, psychological activity, neural activity, and physiological activity of a person are developing in a measurable direction, you can understand yourself better than you know your state, and also let others know yourself better than you.
3. Dimension of calculation
The mainframe computer I used in the 1980s had only 256k of RAM, but it needed a floor to protect it. Today, the computing power of dual-core smartphones has surpassed the best personal computers two years ago. Obviously, in the near future, such computing power will appear on any device, any chip.
So, what can a portable, huge computing power, networked small chip do?
Ability to calculate weather, calculate traffic, real-time on-site translation, on-site emergency command, and easily achieve what only great scientists can do.
Chess, poker, and landlords are all left to it. In the future, when a few friends fight for landlords, either in the bathroom, everyone is not allowed to wear clothes and return to the original ecology; or it is each manufacturer Smart competition between, just like the mobile phone operator you use today determines the quality of your call.
4. Portable dimension
The essence of wearable devices comes from portability.
The development history of computing, on the one hand, is getting farther and farther away from people and drifting into the cloud of unknown locations. You simply don't know where the remote computing power is, maybe in Beijing, maybe in Shanghai, maybe in the United States, maybe on Mars.
Another aspect of the history of computing is getting closer and closer to people: physical devices from buildings to rooms, from rooms to desktops, from desktops to backpacks, from backpacks to pockets, now from pockets to wearers, and finally The ending is to be one with people.
Indeed, smartphones with imported pockets are just a transitional product, a compromise product. What should the terminal display in the 3G era I published 4 years ago look like? 》 The blog post reasoned that with the improvement of chip computing power and the breakthrough of display technology, the future must be:
"The display and the calculator are separated, do their own thing, and then wired or wirelessly connected to each other."
Okay, first portable into wearable. For example, shoes, belts, watches, eyes, helmets, shorts, vests, rings, etc., what do you do with these wearables? It can be divided into two stages. The first is the extension of traditional products. For example, military eyes are definitely not the same as Google eyes. It can see through everything: infrared function, ultraviolet function, large aperture function, ultrasonic function, remote sensing function, etc. It has stronger infrared sensing ability than snake, stronger perspective function than X-ray, stronger night vision function than owl, and stronger sound wave detection function than bat. Connect to the satellite again, and you will see everything in this place carefully.
Then it is analysis and intelligent actions. For example, if you want to do what you want, control it as you like. Returning to the military eyes just now, you can see more targets, and you can clearly analyze and judge the targets. For example, in street fighting, you are all decorated by civilians, who are soldiers and who are civilians, you can hardly tell. With military eyes, these are especially simple. X-ray can directly scan whether there is a device; then, the video is transmitted back to the cloud, and the historical records of all lives within a few meters of the circle are analyzed and judged 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 very far thing. In fact, from the eye tracking technology has entered a practical state, it will not exceed 5 years to reach 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. It also suggests that the development of the mobile Internet will far exceed our predictions. It requires us to study and communicate diligently, not to be complacent, or to build cars behind closed doors. If you hesitate a little, you will fall behind. Learning, openness, communication, and sharing are the most critical elements for keeping progress.
The space for wearable products is huge, and further development is needed: computing devices have become one with people. In this regard, technology has also developed rapidly and has been continuously practiced in medical and military affairs.
