What Is Wearable Technology?
Wearable Devices or body-borne computers that can be worn by user - but are intended to interact with the wearer without punching keys or other manipulation
- always on, always working
- performs calculations and processes information
The Wearable technology consists of two parts
sensors, glasses, watches and even foot wear
Information aggregator & analyzer
Took off in 1981 when Steve Mann invented the 6502-based Multimedia computer that could be worn as a backpack and had photo, video, and text capabilities.
1991 - started the Wearable Computing Project at MIT 1995 - invented world's first convert wearable computer 1997 Completed Phd from MIT in Wearable Technology 2014 - Currently, works at university of TorontoThe Man behind Wearable Tech
Evolution- Refined over the decades
After its invention, Wearable Computers have gone through 18 generations of development, with research going on at prestigious institutions like MIT, Georgia Tech and Carnegie Mellon University. Let's have a look on some of the inventions:
Head-mounted displays and wrist-mounted user-interfaces like watches
Now going mainstream - no longer reserved for uber-geeks, especially with Google Glass and Smartwatches
Not just for mobile computing - other purposes too, like accessibility, learning, research and navigation
Forces Driving the Growth of Wearable Technology
Getting 100 times smaller each decade
Capabilities and feature convergence
Easy portability
By 2020, batteries are expected to be 2.2x more powerful
Internet of things, big data and SDN
Consumerisation of enterprise IT
Multiple devices ownership, Improvement of camera
technologies
Cloud storage services expected to exceed 2 billion by 2014
Reduced IT cost with Cloud Computing
Implicit location information,
Internet traffic information
Device based location service (GPS)
iOS, Android, Blackberry OS, Windows Mobile, Symbian S60
Faster, smaller,Cheaper hardware

The Revolution of Wearable
Technology Today
Offers multiple options like multimedia, bluetooth, wifi, camera, others...especially, Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch
Smart Glasses - brought technology to our vision e.g. Google Glasses
Interactive clothing Doctors/ Sports Trainers can get real-time health status of the wearer e.g. Hexoskin
Jawbone and wristband system tracks routine activity. ShoeSense recognizes discrete and relaxing gestures
VOYCE Dog Collar can tracks our dogs activities while we are out
Bluetooth, for mobile phones, have replaced earphones
Pacemakers, Hearing Aid, Prosthetics used as medical equipments
Wearable Tech- What Experts say?
Steve Power Brown, Intel chief evangelist and futurist - the
next
decade will see wearable technology hit the mainstream, driven
by
the continued rise of smaller computers, larger data volumes,
and
more natural communication with devices
Sundar Pichai, senior vice president of Chrome - Android
and
apps at Google Wearable gadgets aren't just smart versions of
glasses or watches, but also anything that embeds sensors
that
can collect data and deliver it to devices that can then
better
serve their users
Gadi Amit, principal and owner of San Francisco studio New Deal
Design- people will soon have up to ten miniature devices on
their
bodies and clothes monitoring their health, organizing their social
lives
and responding to their emotional needs
Sonny Vu, chief executive and founder of Misfit Ventures- at the
moment none of the wearable systems
passes the turn around test as in, if you were on the way to work
and realized you'd left it behind, would you turn around to get
it?
Canalys, an independent analyst agency - Though
currently a relatively small market serving. Fitness enthusiasts,
wearable bands represent a massive opportunity in the medical
and wellness segment... 2014 will be the year that wearables become
a key consumer technology
Wearable Tech- What Experts say?
What's the Future of Wearable Technology?
Google announced its releasing a Software Development Kit
(SDK)
for Android-powered Wearables
iWatch, secures solar touchscreen patent
Looxcie has released live streaming wearable headset with live-feed access from a proprietary tablet and smartphone app
Sensible Baby that fits into a chest pocket and sends information and active alerts on temperature, baby orientation and breathing to a parent's mobile device
Sensory Fiction(MIT Labs) in which
reader will soon experience physical
sensation while reading the written words
Smart Contact Lenses, which can help measure
glucose level in tears
Disney's MyMagic+, is capable of monitoring visitors
and collecting data about their behaviour in Disney World theme
parks
What's the Future of Wearable Technology?
Global Wearable Technology Market Trends - Global Scenario,Industry Analysis, Size, Share and ForecasteSource: Transparency Market Analysis
How to Benefit From the Wearable Technology Boom?Big brands already in, like - Fitbit or Nike+ Fuelband. Wearable to become the next wave of hardware innovation
What users get?
Good portability
Hands-free use
Comfortable
Always on for the task it is designed
Quick accessibility
Fashionable
Less Versatile
Smaller
Ambient noise
Not as widely accepted
Expensive
A lot of wiring, at times
Heat emission may cause irritation
Side-effects (headaches)
Data security threats - If the device is lost / stolen
But, with a few hidden limitations
Without a doubt, Wearable Technology is and will be the most prevailing topic this year. As it is mentioned:
Getting smaller in size
Wearables will continue to reign in popularity
Even reaching to animals
Brave attempts at fashionable bluetooth jewellery and clothing
Focusing needed on better designs for mass appeal
Future projections seems to be reaching to the highest level
Wearables will integrate more seamlessly into daily life
Adding more sensors will consolidate devices and broaden market appeal
