In addition, Iwhatch sensors may also have detection gestures, distance, pulse and other functions. The April 9 Report of the BI Chinese language station although Apple has yet to recognise that it is developing a wearable device, it is rumored and leaked that Apple's iwatch smart watch will be equipped with ultraviolet sensors to help protect the user's skin from intense sun exposure. Brehn Curtis Blayne, an analyst at Barclays Group, said in an investor study that Apple might be able to configure ultraviolet intensity sensors in its wearable devices. The sensors are likely to be produced by Silicon Labs, a company based in Austin, Texas, which just announced a new series of sensors earlier this year. It is said that these ultraviolet intensity sensors will be the industry's first single chip digital ultraviolet strength sensor. In addition to detecting gestures and distances, these sensors can monitor the user's heart rate and pulse, according to Silicon Labs. As these sensors can detect the intensity of ultraviolet rays, integrating them into wearable devices will help brand makers achieve differentiated marketing, Curtis wrote in the report. If Apple decides to integrate this sensor, which detects ultraviolet radiation, into its rumored iwatch, it will become one of the few smart wrist-strap products in the market with similar functions. Netamo's June bracelet, released at this year's CES show, also detects sun intensity and provides users with advice on how to protect the skin. However, most of the smart bracelets and smart wrist straps equipped with a variety of sensors on the market can only detect how much heat the user burns and how far they have traveled, and cannot detect whether the user is exposed to too much ultraviolet light. Curtis believes that if Apple can release the iwatch by the end of 2014, then the sales of this wearable device is expected to reach 10 million pieces. According to Taiwanese media digitimes, iwatch will be released in the third quarter of this year, but the accuracy of the news remains to be tested. It is not clear what the legendary Apple smart watch looks like, but there are indications that the product will focus on health and fitness. Apple dug South Hill Doughedi (Nancy Dougherty) from the start-up company Sano FDI in January, and Sano FDI was developing a software patch that would keep the blood of its users under control. Apple also dug Lavis Narashimhan (Ravi Narasimhan) from the wearable bio-sensor manufacturer Vital connect. (Jing Compilation)
