Don't let the wearable device explore the error.

Today, many people do not accurately understand the meaning of smart wear devices, more of it is based on computer evolution thinking in the smart wear industry, so let us see the current situation: most of the smart wear equipment is not like a computer; the other is not like a mobile phone; three is not like the decorations, that is, painless point and not just need, is considered a kind of chicken ribs. Some people think that smart wear is unlikely to have a bright future, at best, to live on the role of a third-hand smartphone, because almost all of today's smart-wear products need to be attached to smartphones.

Another is to rely on the evolution of the PC and smartphone to understand the smart wear device, and this understanding of limited technical support is an unavoidable process, and this view is the current technical conditions must go through the path. But this way of thinking along this path is bound to be the other scenario we see today, where smart-wearing products, especially smart watches or smart-bracelet products, are becoming more like miniature smartphones or microcomputers. This phenomenon is due to this way of thinking, so naturally we will be compared with smartphones, tablets. So the screen, endurance, interaction and other aspects of the experience and mobile phones, flat between the formation of a clear gap.

Of course, that's what I've always said: Wearable devices have come to us almost overnight from sci-fi movies, after the device was detonated by Google in April 2012 and the entire industry chain was not ready or formed. In this case, the number of products to China's largest contribution, almost 80% of the world's smart wearable terminal products are made-in-china. And the 80% of the 50% from Shenzhen, which to Huaqiang north as the representative, entrepreneurs by virtue of the tenacity and wisdom of the smart phone from the components of the device to build wearable equipment products.

It is precisely because of the constraints on the industrial chain, on the other hand, with the help of the smart phone industry chain, which also let us see today's most products to watch products mostly, and always get rid of the shadow of the phone. Of course, this is only a stage in the industrial development process, smart wear is not limited to the wrist watch, especially in the 2015 smart wear equipment will be presented to consumers in more form.

Regardless of how the smart clothing industry erupts, we need to understand the question of what it means to be wearable equipment. Why should wearable equipment suddenly detonate in 2012? This is clearly the result of a wave of mobile internet, or we can understand that smart dress is the product of the mobile internet age. In the traditional internet age, we are almost impossible to monitor sports, sleep, positioning, heart rate and other data to drag a network of the world to stroll.

The more important thing is that smart wearable equipment is not only the miniaturization of computers, but also a major technological revolution in the history of computer development. From desktops to notebooks to tablets to smartphones, the industry's evolutionary path is clear, performance is getting better, parts are getting smaller, prices are getting closer to the people, and there is no suspense to follow Moore's Law for continuous optimization and upgrades. All of the cores have hardly left behind the improvement of the front-end hardware computing power and storage capacity, whether desktop, notebook, tablet or smartphone. Therefore, we must follow this mode of thinking to understand the smart wear products, but also hope that based on front-end hardware to continuously improve its operation, storage capabilities.

Is there a possibility that one day the whole computer's components developed into a phase, that is, micro to a stage, a smart watch can have today's desktop performance? It is not impossible, it is entirely possible, but this is not the nature of wearable equipment. The reason why I call smart wear is a revolution in the history of computer development, its key cause is the traditional hardware based on the front-end operation and storage to the back end, that is, mobile internet, cloud computing, large data integration of a revolution occurred.

When based on front-end hardware operation and storage, with the help of mobile internet, cloud computing, large data back-end transfer, front-end devices will no longer be the traditional computer understanding of those tasks, at this time left to the work of more data acquisition, interactive control. It is for this reason that I have clearly defined smart dress as the next wave of business and mobile Internet in two books on wearable equipment, and the revolution in the computer history triggered by wearable devices will profoundly change the entire social and commercial shape.

It is because we do not have an accurate understanding of wearable equipment caused by this computer revolution, therefore, we can easily think of the hardware before the operation of thinking wearable equipment, so tangled screen size, interface operation interaction, battery endurance, equipment storage capacity, etc. have become the focus of discussion.

And when we realize that wearable devices are the result of a backward shift in front hardware that is based on the cloud computing platform, that is, the entire mobile Internet portal and search mode changes and shifts. On the one hand, the data source will be centered around the collection of human-centered, and the use of wearable equipment at the entrance of the transmission; On the other hand, the search method of the data will change, and the smart hardware with wearable devices will no longer appear in the current interface interaction, but with voice and image. The simplest direct example is what Google glasses lets us see, human-computer interaction based on wearable devices is the voice interaction, we can talk directly with the device through the voice, eliminate the current rely on screen cumbersome interface interaction operation, on the other hand, based on wearable equipment camera technology, Directly to the image of the form of transmission to the cloud service platform for search.

Therefore, the interactive mode based on wearable devices should be in the voice, image-led, and in the display technology will be based on virtual reality, with the help of the body sense of interaction, or virtual space interaction, Microsoft's latest release of wearing glasses has let us see this direction. The real wearable device must not always be a watch or bracelet, but a monitoring and interaction tool that can be worn arbitrarily.

From this point of view, the current technology of wearable industry to explore the path of deviation, we are entangled in a wearable device does not belong to the screen interface interaction and front-end computing, storage capacity processing. For wearable equipment industry chain, we really need to exert the force is based on monitoring sensors, mobile internet based voice, image interaction, based on large data cloud service platform, these are the real promotion of industrial explosion of the key technology.

And I discuss this problem with you because our understanding of the industry will determine the development of the industry, if not accurate and effective understanding of wearable equipment industry, then we in the development process, in the process of technological exploration will inevitably get into trouble. Only an accurate understanding of the smart wear industry can be more effective in helping us to explore the direction of technology, thinking about the direction of business, and the use of this wave to achieve success.
