Bicheng Han | BrainCo:Wearable technology to lead the fashion

United States known for wearable technology and audio equipment developers Jawbone recently announced that it will spend $100 million acquisition of another wearable health care electronic products manufacturer BodyMedia company. The news after Google glasses market once again led the market for wearable technology in the field of attention and prospect.
Google glasses, smart watches and other wearable devices is a typical representative of high technology, it subverts the user defined on the computer, using the computer to become and people wear clothes, wearing jewelry, but also could interact with the user. Upgrade of wearable devices, marking the perfect combination of computer technology, sensor technology, radio technology, although in the short term can not reach the degree of popularity of computer, mobile phone, but Google, Nike, Jawbone and other international giants large-scale R & D investment, will undoubtedly make this area have attractive development prospect.
Wearable computing concept originated in 1960s, the end of the last century, this technology began to penetrate into people's lives, the Pebble smart watch is a typical representative of the product, which is still at the stage of testing Google glasses is the most dazzling. Google glasses have all the features of smart phones, the lens is equipped with a micro display, users do not need to be available to surf the Internet, or to deal with text messages and e-mail.

In addition, the keyboard can transform any pattern of jeans, dress, can monitor the amount of exercise and health wristbands and so on, has become a reality within reach.
Currently, the price is high, the functional constraints and other factors, wearable technology products have not really entered the home of ordinary people. However, as the personal computer to make it located in the mobile device, wearable computing in the future by apple and Microsoft and many other technology giants collective optimistic, but also by the user's broad expectations. Market research firm Gartner predicts, to 2016, wearable intelligent electronic products market will reach $10 billion, and is expected to lead the trend of the future.
