The term "wearable device" may disappear soon

[PConline News] "Linkage" magazine's online edition today said that in 2015, wearable devices are rapidly developing, and many fashion brands are also developing such products. In the future, the term “wearable device” will gradually fade out, and everyday clothing and supplies that integrate technological elements will be ubiquitous. The following is the full text of the article:

"Wearable device" is a stupid appellation. If we refer to Google Glass, Apple Watch, and running shoes with sports tracking as "wearable devices," why can't the Tesla Model S, iPhone, and Microsoft's Surface Hub be called PCs? After all, these products also have screens and browsers. If "wearable device" refers to a device that can be worn and worn, why can't a virtual reality helmet be counted as a wearable device? If you leave your phone on a belt, is it a wearable device? In the world of the future, the devices we wear, own, and touch will all be interconnected in some way. In the past many years, we have not established a special title for such a world. In fact, we do not need such a title.


Traditional watch brand TAG Heuer launched a smart watch

Over the past year, companies from all walks of life have demonstrated that "wearable devices" are not a separate category. Wearables are everything. Before the U.S. Open, Ralph Lauren launched the PoloTech high-tech T-shirt, Swarovski and Misfit launched a stylish version of Misfit Shine, and designer Karl Lagerfeld introduced 3D. Printed Chanel branded clothing. In 2015, fashion and technology are closely integrated. You can buy Apple Watch at fashion boutiques, while TAG Heuer uses Android Wear system in high-end business watches. These products do not come out of thin air. They are only one step in the development of society. At present, everything is moving toward technology.

Wearable devices are conquering the world, but the term "wearable devices" is disappearing. Data from market research firm IDC shows that in the third quarter of 2015, the shipment of wearable devices was nearly three times that of the same period of last year. As sports tracking devices and smart watches have become popular gifts, sales of wearable devices will continue to grow in the fourth quarter. In the coming years, sales of such products will increase several times.

At present, technology companies still dominate the wearable device market, and market leaders include Fitbit, Apple, Motorola, Xiaomi and Samsung. This market will continue to grow. Recently, insurance companies started to focus on wearable technology and encouraged users to use wearable devices. And as sports tracking devices become more powerful and provide more personalized recommendations, users will also get more value from these devices.

In the past few years, these technology companies have spent a lot of effort to optimize the electronic devices worn on the wrist. Both Fitbit's products and Apple Watch are currently known to users. These products are getting better and better, but they are still classified as "technical products."

But if you come to major fashion weeks, you will see future trends. You will see that technology elements are integrated into clothing. You will see the wearable device, but you will not think it is a technology product. You will see jewelry with high-tech elements. You will also see companies such as Ringly and Misfit trying to develop devices without display screens, and all technological elements are condensed into flashing LED light sources. This is partly due to Intel’s introduction of the ultra-small Curie platform, which allows designers to integrate technological capabilities into a wide variety of devices. Integrating motion tracking and Bluetooth functions on various devices is becoming easier.

Rick Yang, a partner at New Enterprise Associates, said that 2016 will be a year of "invisible wearable devices." Sports equipment and fashion companies are integrating sensors in ways that are invisible to users. The designers of Withings Activite and Fossil Q are trying to integrate new cool features into their products, and even if these products can't track your sleep, you're willing to wear them.

So far, the wearable we have seen is just the first of three steps. In the first step, these devices look like tech products such as Google Glass and Apple Watch. Although it is gradually improving, it still cannot separate from the image of digital devices. Afterwards, wearable devices will be optimized, and companies such as Fossil and Swarovski will exert greater influence. In 2015, we have seen that fashion technology products are shifting to fashion products with technological elements.

In the third step, technology will become part of everything. Google's Project Jacquard is such a case. When designers integrate sensors into fabrics, is this still a technology product? Perhaps this will be the fabric of the future, "Fabric 2.0." Your shoes, T-shirts will integrate sensors to track heart rate, and your socks will know when to clean.

Shortly after this, perhaps you will implant an RFID chip or tattoo on your arm to achieve the same function. In 2015, we learned that the important point is that the best wearable device does not appear to be a computer, nor does it "like" something. Just look down and look at everything you are wearing to know the future of wearable devices.
