Can wearable computers be realized in the future?

Wearable computers will become the next mainstream trend, not only a consumer electronic product, but also a full range of computing solutions; in the past few years, wearable electronic products have been a hot topic in the industry, Starting with fitness accessories, it is now becoming a mini computer like Google Glass.

In fact, wearable computers are not a new term. The US military has 20 years of development history in this area, but most of the results require users to carry an additional backpack for these devices; now the US military has begun to use the iPhone because of technological progress, Today's wearable computer solutions are very different from the past, and are getting closer and closer to the devices in science fiction movies.

The evolution of semiconductor design and manufacturing technology has continuously improved the performance of components, while also reducing the size and power consumption requirements; advanced display technology has brought a rich user experience, and communication and server technology has created an infinite possibility Connected world. In this case, why can't a wearable computer come true? If we can plug the computer into a mobile phone or tablet, why not shrink it further into a watch or headphones?

Unfortunately, we still face technical limitations-especially battery technology, which has not been able to achieve the optimal capacity; and despite the use of advanced semiconductor technology, we must squeeze the processor, GPU, memory, I / O and communication functions. It is not easy to enter a single chip. New technologies, including through-silicon via (TSV) wafer stacking technology, are expected to allow the industry to achieve the desired component integration in the next three to five years.

There are also traditionally bulky and power-hungry displays; the combination of a new generation of flexible display technology with micro-projectors and wireless display interfaces can overcome the limitations of traditional displays in terms of size and power consumption and support large-screen display requirements. Overall, the industry is already on the right path to realize wearable computers.

However, so-called wearable computers must be "computers", not electronic peripherals or gadgets, and must be able to provide various functions we expect for other computing solutions such as smartphones, tablet devices and traditional PCs. And performance, at the same time have other advantages and higher flexibility; in addition, the price of such devices must be lower than existing solutions to attract consumers.

Despite the asking price of $ 1,500, Google Glass is currently the closest solution on the market to wearable computers, but it still lacks some key elements, especially connectivity; and this is also the biggest disadvantage of wearable electronic devices. They Still have to be tied together with other devices to get the network function.

Many people in the industry believe that consumers will be willing to accept such a bundled solution, but the author does not agree that consumers only want usable things; if you explain to a 10-year-old child, you ca n’t go online if you leave the room. It is difficult to accept because you cannot receive the Wi-Fi signal. The importance of networking functions will also become increasingly significant. Even if chip technology continues to evolve, more and more storage and processing functions will be performed in the cloud, and the future will be a truly decentralized computing model.

The only question left is: Will consumers accept wearable computers? Our "PC era" will usually deny soon

That kind of concept, but the younger generation will soon accept and use new technology. Can you imagine that you no longer need to carry your smartphone with you, and you will never forget it in a restaurant, drop it in a parking lot or in a toilet and then break it ... a situation that most people may have encountered.

Another issue is privacy. Although some people have raised issues related to the privacy rights that Google Glass may involve, like other electronic products, these issues are irrelevant to the younger generation, and will gradually disappear.

Today, we may not be able to get rid of those expensive gifts like Google Glass, or Christmas gifts such as Fitbit fitness devices, once worn for a month or two, the sense of freshness has passed, and finally the fate of being shelved; like Like a pedometer or digital photo frame.

However, wearable computers will still come out, and may become the next wave of omnidirectional computing solutions, not just consumer electronic devices, but we have to wait for a few years. What type of appearance is still guessed by everyone, it may be large watches, headphones, glasses, or even some form of combination with clothing.

Medical devices are one of the directions that can find inspiration. Although such solutions are more specialized and more expensive, because of their function-critical characteristics, they are an indicator of the direction of technology development. However, to avoid unrestrained forecasts, the time required for the development of technology and ecosystems is usually longer than expected by analysts and industry players.
