Smart glasses
Smart glasses, also known as smart glasses, means "like smart phones, there is an independent operating system, and users can install smart glasses with programs provided by software service providers such as software and games."
Smart glasses can complete the functions of adding schedule, map navigation, interacting with friends, taking photos and videos, and making video calls with friends through voice or action control, and can realize wireless network access through mobile communication networks.
Google is making a wearable computer: Google Glass, as we all know, is called "Project Glass". This batch of equipment can even be purchased on 20 13. However, did you know that Microsoft, the engineer empire, also does similar things? Yes, after Win8, the pace of Microsoft's transformation of the mobile terminal has accelerated again.
It is reported that Microsoft has announced a number of product patents similar to Google Glass. Google announced a product development plan to facilitate the future testing of Google Glass in public. Judging from the current product design, Google Glass includes a parallel frame that can be placed horizontally above the bridge of the nose, a wide bar computer on the right side of the frame, and a transparent lcd display. Generally speaking, the appearance will never be like the design of traditional glasses that we usually understand.
Glasses are based on Android operating system, and it seems that they can be operated by voice and controlled by vision. A cursor appears in the wearer's line of sight. Looking up can interact with the cursor, check the weather, send messages, and do what smart phones can do. In addition to the function of smart phone, it can also interact with the environment and expand the reality.
According to the video demonstration, Project Glass can provide information such as weather and traffic routes. Users can also send messages in language, send photo descriptions and so on. It can also show friends nearby. For example, when you see a subway station, glasses will tell the user the reason for parking and provide an alternative route; If you see a book you like, you can check the book reviews and prices; If you are waiting for a friend, the glasses will show your friend's position.
Seat belts can prevent fatigue driving.
Car seat belts also belong to the category of smart wearable devices. According to foreign media reports recently, the University of Manchester, the Spanish Biomechanics Institute and several companies have jointly developed a high-tech seat belt and seat cover, which can remind drivers not to fall asleep while driving. The data shows that fatigue driving has become one of the biggest road killers, and13 of the serious car accidents are caused by drivers' fatigue driving.
This safety device has a built-in sensor to monitor the driver's heartbeat. Car seat covers can monitor the driver's breathing frequency. The on-board computer can analyze the data provided by the seat belt and seat cover, automatically filter out the noise of the car and the sound generated by the driver's normal activities, and then judge whether the driver is about to fall asleep. However, there is still a long way to go before it is officially used-this system called HARKEN can only give an alarm to remind drivers to pull over. However, with the development of automobile automation technology, this system will eventually help cars slow down and stop. This security system has been strongly supported by the European Union. Harken system has been tested on closed roads, but not in the real world.
In addition, the HARKEN system can also warn elderly drivers with heart disease in case they have a heart attack. In Australia, the death rate of 65-year-old drivers has increased by 5% in the past five years. In the same period, the death rate of drivers in other age groups dropped sharply.
Wearable UAV
When people first see Xie Ni, you will find this watch very interesting. Wrong, this thing that looks like a watch is actually a drone with excellent performance. That's right, drone!
Xie Ni can be said to be a wearable drone, which can take off from our wrists at any time like a helicopter! This small drone can take videos and photos for us in the air, and all this can be operated with a gesture. Although it has not been officially launched, the development team is full of confidence in it.
Xie Ni weighs less than 45 grams. Most importantly, its small body can shoot full HD images or videos for us. With the help of smart phone, a portable, powerful and unique design product can be used as a private aerial photographer.
Some media have been saying that it is a wearable device or a drone, but in the eyes of many people, it is a wearable drone camera, which is a bit complicated. But it deserves this title.
The development team also stressed that if you just want to take a selfie with "Xie Ni", you underestimate it, and its framing ability will definitely surprise you. In addition, Xie Ni will have four different flight modes, namely darts mode, panoramic mode, following mode and hovering mode.
In fact, "Xie Ni" is not small. It helped the development team win the team award of Intel's "make it wearable competition" two years ago, and also ensured that the development team got the funds to develop this concept product (at that time).
We may enter the era of drones in the near future. If everyone raises their wrists, they can let their drones take off. This picture should not be too beautiful.
Although it is still the "infancy" of wearable technology, it is certain that human beings are gradually integrating with this technology, and it is inevitable and the general trend to promote wearable technology innovation. In fact, the performance of the wearable market has already illustrated this point. If you are an entrepreneur and want to enter the wearable field, please be prepared for this new wave!
