Will Apple Watch change the world once again?

Apple Watch was launched at the Apple launch this time. Will he be like the iphone series to change people's understanding of the watch? Will it be popular with people like the iphone? I think the first generation of products can only be tentative, can really go to detonate the market, but also waiting for the second, three generations of Apple Watch.

Before explaining the reason, say a few primers.

1. Apple is a company that is designed to be aggressive and technically conservative.

Apple likes to lead the industry in design and human-computer interaction. When Ipone just launched, we can not get rid of the mouse operation of the computer's thinking. So when the phone, although can support touch, but most of the manufacturers are equipped with a touch pen, a full keyboard and other peripherals, so that we can put smartphones and computers, and old-fashioned keyboard phone association. Of course, at that time the screen is also small, these peripherals help the user accurate operation. But the launch of the iphone, completely overturned the understanding of the mobile phone, we feel that human-computer interaction can actually be so. In my opinion, foreigners like to adventure, like to experience the new things, and Chinese people like to follow suit. This led to the iphone has just begun to sell abroad, when foreigners are tired of the aesthetic, the Chinese rigid follow-up demand, and help the apple. So 5s launched the local tyrants gold to cater to the appetite of Chinese users.

Touch instead of the keyboard, so aggressive interactive design, for the success of the iphone, the work must be done. But Apple is a technically conservative company, and they won't be the first to use the new technology on their products. NFC has been introduced for so many years, and there are industry standards that will never be used if Apple is not going to pay. Wireless charging, a successful application on the Lumia's machine, but like a watch, where wireless charging must be used, the apple still doesn't. And their cameras, which are always 8 million megapixels, are now added to the optical image stabilization. About pixels This is a digression, I use Lumia1020, on that 4100W pixel cell phone. If you didn't shoot it through their camera app, the imaging effect is really normal. Nokia Professional Photography This app will optimize the screen, especially at the time of the night, when you are shooting, the screen has a lot of noise, but after shooting, you will find the picture quality has a very obvious modification process, it can be seen that Nokia's algorithm plays a very important role. Again, Apple's technology is conservative, including their software, Apple's SDK, in my little companion's words, "compared to the Microsoft's set, it is WinForm and WPF feel, behind several generations." Object-c, this is not a high-level high-level language, MVC, this Microsoft has played the rest of the framework. There are some of the SDK Api,osx on the iphone can not be used, until later only a little add in. Technical conservatism is a stark contrast to the radical design.

2. The future can change the world, is the interactive way of innovation

As has been said, the success of the iphone has benefited from the innovative way they interact. Now the touch of interaction, everyone has become accustomed to, so the mobile industry is not as fast as the previous growth. So, based on the mobile phone interaction, so far, has been the industry has been mining almost, in the future, I do not think there will be a subversion of the entire industry products appear. And I think that the next generation of human-computer interaction is based on the voice of human-computer interaction. Of course, people's explorations of other human-computer interactions have been ongoing, previously worn on their arms, worn on their fingers, or using a camera to capture human body movements. But these interactions need to rely on specific hardware and environment, like touch, only on the touch screen, will achieve his best experience. And the voice of the interactive way, almost can be universal, but the lack of reasonable interactive scene and interactive design. After Win7, Microsoft has a voice assistant, which lists the number of buttons on the screen, and then you say, "he presses that button." I think that if you are not a disabled person, people will use the mouse to point, rather than to talk.

The voice of the interaction, in the past two years, has made rapid progress. The most prominent point is that the speech recognition rate is improved a lot, almost replace the typing input, this scene, the most suitable for small screen devices, such as eyes and watches, because these devices input text is a great difficulty. In addition, major companies are laying out their voice assistants, such as Siri,contana and Google Now. I think this is for the future of the battlefield to layout, Apple's Watch can not use Google's speech recognition technology, Apple now even map to do their own, mainly want to not go to cowgirl, so as to the fastest time, the necessary to move the app to the new device. Therefore, the next generation can change the world's products, must be based on voice interaction. Just, there is no reasonable interaction, this really is to spend the mind to customize.

After two, we say Apple Watch again. Apple does add a lot of interactive elements to the watch, such as the flip of the wrist and the interaction of the clockwork. In a sense, it does change some of the people's understanding of the watch, but I don't think it's enough. There is less information on the watch itself, and less touch can control, so touch-based interaction is not a lot of things to do. And the small size of the watch, the performance of the CPU, battery life is very limited, can do things less. If I want to expand the ability of this watch, I think the voice-based interaction is the most suitable. Of course, Apple Watch also integrates Siri. But Siri doesn't have the SDK, and I think Apple will later publish the Siri-based SDK, let third-party apps call Siri, and then specify some of the specific words of the interaction, making Siri control the app more convenient and reasonable. Just imagine, we navigate with the watch, I tell Siri where I'm going, Siri tells me where to go first, wait for the turn, and then vibrate to show me the turn, turn left on the screen, or turn right. Such a way, than to see the map to come directly.

Based on The voice interaction, the most suitable is not the watch, but the glasses. Glasses have both a screen and a convenient speaking control. The watch is not to be lifted up to speak, lifted up to see. Of course, glasses are technically more demanding, and only companies such as Google can make such things. Yet Google is a company that doesn't love to make money, they just do it for you, but don't think about how to open the market.

Apple Watch will be released next year for a reason, I reckon they can be mass-produced, but Apple still has to improve the entire ecosystem. such as the watch inside the app, watch the shop how to do, watch and mobile phone connectivity, these problems, are needed for a generation of products to improve. But I believe that the new era has begun.
