We already know which way tends Android. Clearly shows its latest edition, marked the letter “N”, the test version promises to really mature, extremely functional mobile operating system. But what about the technology ubieralną? With the intelligence on the site Business Insider met Google’s plans with respect to Android Wear.
SmartWatch. Personally, I like them very much and it would be difficult me to return to a traditional watch, but I can objectively say that for most people it is still useless gadgets. For this relatively expensive, mostly Should not comely, and – worst of all – a very short shelf life, because it is aging faster than smartphones.
So far, no manufacturer can not convince the audience wider than a handful enthusiasts, the SmartWatch is they really need to do anything. Pretty good came to Samsung last year’s IFA, during the premiere gear S2. It was probably the first time anyone has shown SmartWatch not as an extension of the smartphone, but as a separate unit. The same is trying to convince us continually Apple, but so far these are vain efforts. Even if announced WatchOS 2.2, focused on the health aspects slightly raise the “usefulness” of Apple Watcha, it still remains a gadget. This time Apple’owi failed to produce a real consumer need to have.
This is the first task facing the system Android Wear.
Project Manager Android Wear, David Singleton, in an interview with Business Insider points out that within two – three years SmartWatch may be the only subject that we take with us from home. And it does not just mean smartphone, but also wallet, money, credit cards, documents, etc. So not only is the watch we have to talk and communicate with others (mainly with the help of automated replies to text messages), you have to use it for payment, and identity.
Predictably, another aspect whose development focus developers working on Android Wear, this Internet stuff. Since all devices are connected, then we have to control them and manage. For now serves the smartphone or tablet, but putting such functionality on the wrist can be a strong bargaining chip – SmartWatch will buy us comfort.
Android Wear is also converted into a personal assistant, who himself will know what the this time we need. He says Singleton, SmartWatch is too small to navigate it like we do it with a smartphone, so it can not be that we are entering with him interact and are looking for information – a smart watch itself has us spin out the appropriate information in the appropriate place and time. Already working on a similar principle introduced with Android 6.0 Google Now on Tap.
“We aim to ensure that the doctor called you, not vice versa,” – says Business Insider David Singleton. According to Singleton, now we have the technology and sensors, which are able to detect alarming changes in the behavior of the organism, or determine whether it has become something wrong with us. This last example illustrates well what Apple Watch, which the Cupertino giant wants to enter the alarm in case of an accident, for example. While running.
Although the project manager admits that most manufacturers Android Wear as a project phase experimental, that Google already has several partners who believe in the vision of the company and “are ready for years of hard work to that vision a reality.”
it’s all very ambitious plans, but looking at them I still think on this argument, the producers will not get far. Today before buying SmartWatch suspend its technological limitations. Marny operating time on a single charge, minimal usefulness, rapid aging of the components.
In the near future, probably will disappear last argument – with the development of technology, just as we see today, that smart phones are aging much more slowly. You will be but another problem – the lack of infrastructure. Personally, I do not believe that full implementation of the Internet of Things was a matter of a few years. It’s a matter of decades of work, the creation of many industries from scratch, let alone to change the habits of people. The same with the question of health – doctor callers to the patient, because it alerted the information from the watch? Beautiful vision and really keeping my fingers crossed for her performance, but realistically, remodeling of the current health care (not only in Poland) will take many, many years.
It may therefore lead to a situation in which the market of smart watches just … will die before he is born good, because the world will adapt to their potential, there is a new “big thing”.
the future of Android Wear is so far written finger in the sand. I have no doubt that if someone has to make to SmartWatch is adopted, it will be just the two giants – Google and Apple. I’m just afraid that in this product category even joined forces so powerful companies little ball, and smart watches will remain nothing more than a niche with “potential.”
