Smart watches already have a lot of exciting features, however, sales of such equipment is not so hot now. Now consumers are still trying to figure out why they buy such equipment. As a reference, the following hardware and software developers are currently developing functional and technical, and we may soon see them on the Apple Watch, Moto 360, LG G Watch R, Asus Zen Watch and other equipment.
1. Control Home
As long as you install the Nest thermostat at home, you can use the Pebble or Android Wear to control the home water heaters. Even, you can also use the smart watches start some vehicles.
Smart home market is another area that has great potential, but we have not yet fully discovered. Technology company hopes to develop a killer application software to configure a smart watch. In the end, we will soon be able to control the use of smart watches, microwave oven, switch lights, monitor home security cameras, adjust the indoor temperature and music settings.
Now the response is relatively large Google's Nest launch of "Works with Nest" system, which can be used to control other similar Nest instruction equipment. In fact, the significance of this system is that: it creates an other intelligent devices can join the "standard."
Samsung, Sony and other manufacturers this year will launch new Android wearable devices.We believe that this year and next year, TV will also be able to rely on Android Wear device to control. Although Google Nest for all, but that does not mean, Nest will reject Apple Watch.Currently, iOS Nest has appeared on the system application software, and Apple's own HomeKit is also ready to "off."
2. improve health, save lives
Yes, smart watches, wearable device can become a mass consumer product, there are still some doubts on the market. However, if the legal and medical practice permit, they will be able to carry out large-scale applications in the medical field. In this area, the early applications will be monitored blood glucose levels in diabetic patients.
Google has demonstrated its smart contact lenses, this device can monitor blood glucose levels in humans. Samsung said they will introduce a similar feature on future versions Gear Smart Watch. Currently, Gear S has been able to monitor the heart rate, ultraviolet light and atmospheric pressure.
Back in 2002, it used to monitor a product called Cygnus GlucoWatch device, it can through the skin, blood glucose levels every 10 minutes the body appear. However, this device is not perfect, as compared to the results of a standard finger pressure monitoring device, this device does not provide "timely", the accuracy is not high.
Currently DexCom has prepared an application for the Apple Watch, it can receive data from tiny sensors placed DexCom skin.
Smart watches manufacturers and application developers will undoubtedly prefer to use a variety of ways to monitor our health. However, once the equipment we use beyond basic motion detection function, we have to face competition from government regulatory agencies.
3. wrist Projector
Wearable devices have become an important participant in the world of technology, so some brands are best to make their devices to distinguish it from the public. The first is that the projector watch Ritot "special" one.
According to early release of the image can be seen, Apple Watch will have a "flashlight" feature, which is actually the first step "projector" function. Ritot provide a watch-like display on the user's wrist. You can see from the demo video, this device is mainly projection time. However, this device developers plan to add motion tracking function, display the heart rate, or the activation information. For example, "run fast, if you keep up the rhythm, you will gain weight." Notification and update social information also appears on the card, so to speak, you will go to their entire digital life on your wrist .
Ritot raise a public project, the amount of financing for the opening goal of $ 50,000, but in September last year, the project financing amounted to $ 1.4 million. It is the future of smart watches, but also just a gimmick product? Ritot said they will offer 20 different color projection, and guarantee security.
4. Payment, nothing less
Mobile payment revolution can finally come? In fact, for which we have been waiting a long time. 2010, NFC technology for the first time into the phone, and Gear S Android mobile devices is also seen as representative of the future. However, we did not see coming mobile payments revolution.
Perhaps, all this will be with the arrival of Apple Watch and Apple Pay is changed, they will allow us to use the iPhone or Apple Watch to replace a credit card or debit card swipe.
However, compared to smart phones, smart watches take on this payment tool on our wrists seem more logical. Currently, Apple Pay has been launched in the US this year, the service will enter the UK. In addition, including Google Wallet and CurrentC system will also join the mobile payment battle.
5. travel without travel card
Another potential feature NFC smart watch has appeared on a smartphone, EE Cash application software allows the user to pay for transportation costs to travel to London by train when.
Based on the existing mobile payment, is the station appeared in Oyster reader, contactless bank cards are also a force driving the wireless payment revolution.
However, the mobile payment smart watches need to get on the "sublimation": when we swipe at the peak of the mouth, without pocket and pulled out a payment card, wrist watches will be able to rely on payments.
6. do not need to charge every day color display
A major problem many existing smart phone users and potential users face is this: some smart watch life without a mobile phone battery life even longer. Pebble battery can hold to one weeks time, but if you want a color display, you may need to charge the device every day.
However, Sharp may have found a solution to this problem. November 2014, the company demonstrated a new smart watch display technology, and claims that this display technology than the current color LCD screen saving 1,000 times. However, the new Sharp screen can only display eight colors, while LG G Watch R can display millions of random, but it shows also the color more than the Pebble. Future, Sharp's display technology will be applied to the next generation of Pebble watch. In fact, Sharp has developed an electronic ink display is Pebble Steel. Qualcomm Toq has provided low color Mirasol display.
Sharp's new LCD technology not only can enhance the battery life, but also can improve the battery life cycle. You might think that Sharp is not a big brand, especially if you're in Europe, Sharp brand seems to have been abandoned, but the company developed LTPS technology has been used in a display on the iPhone 6.
7. Let the person you love that you know what you want them
One of the features that users can send Apple Watch between different Watch small "shock" and let your people in the vicinity, or the closest person to know your heart is thinking about them.You can even send your heart rate data to them and let them know you're still in "alive" or when you show them how much resting heart rate is low. Even more interesting is that the user can also send graffiti to Watch user.
Android Wear is still unable to provide such an interesting interactive features, but with this feature popular in the world, we can expect a lot of similar ideas to smart watches and their applications will appear.
