How Wearable Devices Are Changing Our Lives

How Wearable Devices Are Changing Our Lives

• It was a time when computational devices were
  occupying our desks with chunky and immovable
  heavy systems. Then came the laptops which
  brought some mobility in our lives, and later
  inspired device designers and engineers to bring
  on computational powers in hand-held devices like
  phones and PDAs. When Apple released the first
  iPhone, a wave of incredibility spread across the
  globe that saw the general public readily
  adapting these new tech-toys in their lives. And
  thus, the technology evolved so to spend lesser
  efforts in interacting and computing with them.
  Now, in this new age, technology producers are
  consistently pushing devices which can be worn
  and become a part of the daily lifestyle of the
  humans.

Why We Need Wearable Devices

• With spread of smartphones and tablets, we gained
  much mobility for our computers and our
  interaction with them through touch became almost
  for 24 X 7-time log. Unfortunately, with their
  conveniences there came along some limitations in
  completely attaching the mobile devices with us.
  The biggest being to pull out the smartphone when
  we have to do anything, and many a times missing
  important notifications in some busy moments when
  we actually needed them. Such was the experience
  of technology that we humans began to want for
  instant notifications of the events happening
  around us, our social circles, and the world
  alike. And thus, wearable technologies got
  introduced, which keep us in contact with our
  interests all round the clock even when we are
  asleep.

Kinds of Wearable Devices

• The advent of technology has brought along a wide
  array of smart wearable devices in all shapes,
  sizes and forms such as
• Smart Eyewear or Glasses
• Heads-Up-Display Devices (HUD)
• Smart Watches
• Smart Bandages and Belts for tracking health and
  fitness
• Smart Clothing
• Wearable Scanners
• Navigational devices, and many more

• Many devices work independently like smart
  glasses, while some are in combination with
  smartphones. If we imagine that how these
  wearable devices can change our lives, there are
  infinite possibilities to say, but what would be
  occurred in far or near futures is not certain.
  Lets take some of the examples of these devices
  on granted and see the possibilities and contexts
  of use-cases where our lives would impact the
  most.

Google Glass

• This the first device, that has triggered the
  wave of wearable devices. Technically, Glass has
  almost everything that a smartphone has, except
  you cant make a call, but this too is soon being
  negated with the coming versions of Glass.
  Additionally, it has a projector, a touch pad
  instead of touch screen, voice recognition, and
  keep our heads up all the time which allows our
  hands to do more meaningful things in our lives.
  It has a see-though display which does not
  distract the user at all.

• This device opens the all windows of Augmented
  Reality (AR), overlapping virtual images over the
  real life. You can find your destination with
  easy turn-by-turn navigation overlapped on the
  road in front of you without asking anyone to
  guide you. Furthermore, you have all the historic
  peculiarities of the place you are visiting right
  in front of your eyes at that very moment. Thus,
  you dont need any reference material with you or
  any human guide at all, move safely from place to
  place.
• If you are on a beautiful location, and would
  like to share its views with your friends and
  family back home Glass relays the visual imagery
  to them from your vantage point. Glass even
  empowers you to browse through a catalog of
  things at a shop without moving an inch and
  buying them there and then without waiting in
  long and boring shopping queues.

Smart Watches Wrist Bands

• Another form of wearable technology that adds
  real value to our lives is smart watches and
  wrist bands that help us tracking our fitness and
  monitoring health through multitudes of sensors.
  You can monitor your heartbeats, skin
  temperature, oxygen level, calorie consumption,
  blood sugar level, and various types of
  physiological parameters by combining these
  wearable devices with smartphone apps. Apple and
  Motorola have enthusiastically jumped onto the
  bandwagon by launching their smart wearable
  devices.

• Athletes and gym enthusiasts are increasingly
  using smart bracelets to monitor their health,
  fitness, sleep cycles and diets. There are even
  wearable devices which take tracking health to
  another level by adding Bio-electronic chips to
  cure chronic back/spinal pains by releasing mild
  electric currents.

Smart Clothes

• Similarly, the same health sensors can be fit
  into clothes like T-shirt and inner wear in order
  to monitor health and fitness parameters
  remotely. Such devices become lifesaving partners
  to the aged people and people suffering from
  chronic or acute diseases by alarming medical
  emergency personnel in case of emergencies.

• All in all, the wearable technologies are gaining
  popularity and acceptance with the consumers for
  making their lives more convenient and
  worthwhile.
