Wearable smart devices have many years of development history, and their ideas and embryonic forms appeared in the 196s, while devices with the form of wearable smart devices appeared in the 197s and 198s, and the wearable computer prototype developed by Steve Mann based on Apple-II 652 computer is one of them.
with the rapid development of computer standardization software and hardware and internet technology, the forms of wearable smart devices have become diversified, and gradually show important research value and application potential in many fields such as industry, medical care, military affairs, education, entertainment and so on.
at the academic research level, research institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, Engineering College of Tokyo University in Japan and Korea Institute of Science and Technology all have specialized laboratories or research groups dedicated to the research of wearable smart devices, and have many innovative patents and technologies.
China scholars also started to study wearable smart devices in the late 199s.
In the field of institutions and related activities, the American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has set up a wearable IT technical committee, and set up columns on wearable computing in several academic journals.
IEEE ISWC, an international conference on wearable smart devices, has been held for 18 times since it was first held in 1997.
With the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, three national wearable computing academic conferences were held by china computer federation, China Automation Society and China Artificial Intelligence Society.
In addition, the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the National "863 Program" of China also supported a number of research and development projects on wearable smart devices.
Apple Watch or Google Glass will become a part of human body, just like skin and arms.
In the far future, the mobile phone may only need to implant a chip into the human body, and Siri will be able to call you directly through dialogue, help you book a restaurant, know all your privacy, and even be more intimate with you than your family-maybe Google Glass and Apple Watch are no longer chips implanted into the human body, but they have become a part of human genes and can participate in human reproduction and evolution.
the original intention of wearable smart devices is to explore a new way of interaction between people and technology, and provide exclusive and personalized services for everyone, and the computing method of devices should undoubtedly focus on localized computing-only in this way can we accurately locate and perceive the personalized and unstructured data of each user, form a unique exclusive data computing result on everyone's portable mobile device, and find out the truly meaningful needs of users, and finally develop various details through the touch rules of central computing.
Wearable smart devices have gone from fantasy to reality, and their appearance will change the lifestyle of modern people.
by 216, the global wearable smart device market will reach $6 billion.
in order to occupy a favorable leading position, world-renowned companies have taken the lead in blowing the horn.
in the first two or three years, this is an obscure niche market, but in the next three to five years, this field will create a lot of income.
In 217, 7 million wearable smart devices can be networked, compared with 15 million in 213.
most of these devices in the market are sports monitoring instruments of sports health brands.
But in February 213, an insider revealed that Apple set up a research and development team to test the battlefield. In March, Samsung also said that it was developing smart watches.
