Smart hardware, wearable equipment is a pit, how many people want to jump in?

There are always some bystanders out there who like to worry about it. Nowadays society is immersed in a pioneering upsurge, how many people are eager to inform the world of their entrepreneurial identity, on the other hand, the myth of financing, everyone is like in an eternal feast, Hot Dance Carnival.

Connaught also teng Liu Yang to this deep feeling, in some offline can wear the forum, he found that many practitioners are very confused, although some products are very good, but the next phase of how to do not know. Liu believes that technology needs to be precipitated to be large-scale applications, at present, the timing is not mature, especially wearable equipment. But everyone seems to be fooled by the Internet, think that mode innovation is everything, and ignore the bottom of the technology accumulation, is in the wrong node to do the wrong thing.

Wait, the wind's not here yet.

"Whether wearable or smart hardware is an extension of the Internet, their essence is to provide a service," Liu said, in his view, each technology wave will go through three stages: technology precipitation period, technology maturity and application period, model innovation period.

And wearable equipment is also the first stage, the technology has not been accumulated to improve the market prematurely, did not solve the actual problem, but began to wonder whether this thing is wearing a good neck, hanging on the waist, or implanted in the body better. This seems to be a little quick, fundamentally, or by the impact of Internet thinking, because the Internet has developed into a model innovation period, so many people think that the mode of innovation is everything.

Liu that the present stage of wearable equipment should be to solve strong demand as the breakthrough point, wait until the development of a certain stage by the user, and then consider the appearance of design properties. In particular, medical and health equipment, "for example, diabetes has a lot of disease in the country is not detectable, doctors in various departments are only responsible for their own area." There is such a risk, but no one tells you. Now if you know that there is such a device to help you, you will certainly buy. Even if it may be uncomfortable to wear, even if it needs to recharge regularly.

But now the popular products are catering to people want to show the psychological, in order to prove that they are technology tide people, want to express to others to see. "But the essence of wearable equipment is to provide services, if still stay at this stage, is no vitality," Liu said, wearable equipment must first have a good function, in order to gradually be accepted by users.

In general, the heat is not here.

Capital Bubbles, entrepreneurial revelry

The entrepreneurial environment is also an important reason for the growth of the entrepreneurial team. First, the capital market is not bad money, want to casually have a what idea immediately can melt to a sum of money, carrying a dream and feelings of people began to stop in the café, in the line of the major lines under the exchange between the constant Walk alliance, for fear from this unprecedented wave of lagging behind.

The competition between the major VC organizations also intensified, people's enthusiasm for entrepreneurship is unprecedentedly high, so that Jingwei Zhang Ying's "Capital Bubble theory" seems not to buy, and even some people questioned his remarks is to save VC own crisis. Second, the public-funded sites and technology media is to the entrepreneurial environment to provide soil and nutrition. Fuelled by these factors, entrepreneurship looks like an easy task. The case of foreign technology giants ' acquisitions is inspiring the hope of the peak of life.

But what is the truth? Liu said that the most important role of Google's acquisition of Nest and Facebook acquisition of Oculus is not to buy a technology, but to play a banner that is a signal to Daniel in the field that the Giants are starting to push this thing, so that more resources and talent will come together, To do something more bull. So, it does not show the opportunity to get rich in this market.

In particular, virtual reality, to wait until the market has fully developed a period of time, needs the industry's top team to continue to plough. If small teams follow suit at this time, it will be difficult to survive in the future. Now, technology is not the key constraint, there are many small team to do VR glasses, several people can make, but "small production is not equal to 1.2 billion U.S. dollars."

Providing service is the essence

Liu that in the era of intelligent hardware China has a unique advantage, we have a lot of diligent engineers and perfect industrial chain resources, which allows us to quickly upgrade iterations (whether software or hardware), and constantly meet the needs of users, also represents our ability to provide a very perfect service.

But now the problem with smart hardware is that it does not really solve the needs of users, only from the technical means to provide some functions such as data detection. "In fact, a lot of things in the professional traditional industries have ready-made knowledge," Liu said, technology companies should take the initiative to butt some professional third-party service agencies, rather than just unilaterally consider what my technology can do.

The appearance of Tuyere needs a period of gestation, Liu believes that wearable equipment and smart hardware is popular with two ways:

One is by the precipitation of technology, for example, a technology is optimized in the industrial field with strong demand until it is fully mature to the mass market, or it can only rely on a genius like Steve Jobs to think about how a particular technology is applied, such as the application of a capacitive screen to a smartphone.

And in this genius has not yet been born, or peace of mind and so on, after all, a lot of things reluctantly. But on the other hand, The hateful thing about "hope" is that everyone is likely to be a candidate until the next jobs has come out. Thus, each entrepreneur probably with the history of the selected mission into the tide, the struggle and the significance of the efforts are all in this.

From an industrial and social point of view, it seems that we should give more encouragement and everlasting cheers to all those who stand on the line, because there will be winners and better services. But for a lone entrepreneur, or more sober to recognize the pattern is better, after all, a lot of things are not a single effort can be.
