Smart wearable equipment is the next important entry point that has become a consensus.

At the beginning of this year, fjord, a design consultancy, summed up several of the reasons why wearable devices would be hot, saying:

1. The freshness of smartphones has begun to fade, and wearing equipment will enter people's sights out of the thirst for fresh things.

2. Digital products have long been integrated into our lives, and they can also be a lifestyle product that allows them to penetrate deeper into our personal lives.

3. These devices can be attracted by the appearance of science and technology enthusiasts, but also to do more fashion sense, to attract the public consumers.

4. Wearable devices based on sensors are digging and releasing data about the human body in unprecedented numbers, and our lifestyles will be affected.

5. Wearable equipment and our life and human fusion will, in turn, reduce the time we use the phone.

6. Wearable equipment can provide people with instant feedback and direct us to make choices that make us feel better right now.

7. All of this data will be integrated in a way that we didn't expect.

It can be expected that wearable equipment will be another trend in China in the future. After missing the mobile interconnection of the first wave of the entrance, Baidu 1.9 billion U.S. dollars acquired 91, now Baidu is unwilling to miss the opportunity again.
