Wearables devices market and technologyKevin Huang
What is wearable technology?
Simply put, it’s technology that you incorporate into things you wear on a day-to-day basis, and it could be anything from a smart watch, augmented reality glasses, or even a personal health monitor in the form of a bracelet.
The idea is that technology will increasingly become more part of our daily lives, and it will become less intrusive, as it will be part of our clothing, and sometimes even part of our bodies!
Wearable tech presents a fascinating field to study. I have conducted some researches and hope you can also learn more about this high growth market.
Wearable technology refers to electronic devices incorporated into clothing or accessories. While the market potential is large, current wearable devices face challenges like inaccuracy, unappealing designs, and overwhelming data. Collaboration across industries will be needed to address these issues and push wearables into the next generation, where invisibility, seamless connectivity, and personalization could help them gain widespread appeal. Wearable technology is forecasted to continue evolving and integrating into people's lives in a way that significantly impacts society and business.
The Market for Smart Wearable Technology. A consumer centric approach looking at smart watches, fitness bands, baby monitors, pet trackers, hearables, wireless headsets and smart clothing and predicting the market growth between 2015 and 2020.
This document discusses wearable technology trends for 2016 and beyond. It provides an overview of the history and types of wearables, and their applications in tracking physical activity and managing diseases. Benefits of wearables include increased productivity and life expectancy. The growing wearables market is projected to reach $41 billion by 2020. While prices need to drop and form factors expand for broader adoption, wearables from Apple and Fitbit currently dominate the market. Employers are also implementing wearable wellness programs. The future of wearables lies in continued price decreases and the rise of the "quantified self" through self-tracking technologies.
- Android Wear is an operating system designed for wearable devices like smartwatches that allows users to access notifications and information from their paired Android smartphone. It aims to provide relevant information to users based on time and location through features like Google Now cards.
- Key features include receiving notifications, making calls and sending messages by voice with "Ok Google", getting navigation directions and other information, and tracking health/fitness data between a paired watch and phone with Google Fit. The OS puts important information, tasks and answers at the user's fingertips from their watch.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how wearable technology is becoming more economically feasible. Rapid improvements in microprocessors, memory, cameras, displays, cellular processors, WiFi, and other sensors are improving the economics of wearable computing.

India's Mangalyaan satellite successfully entered Mars' orbit in September 2014, joining NASA's MAVEN satellite in orbiting Mars. Mangalyaan was one of the most cost effective interplanetary missions ever at $74 million, far less than NASA's $671 million MAVEN mission. India kept costs low by reusing technologies and sending Mangalyaan into Earth orbit first before slingshotting it towards Mars, saving fuel compared to direct launches. Mangalyaan will study the Martian atmosphere and mineral composition to learn more about whether Mars could have supported life.

This document summarizes the key findings of a study conducted by Newsworks and PwC on attention to different media types. The study found that traditional print and broadcast media receive more focused attention from consumers compared to digital media. Specifically, newspaper readers were more likely to regularly set time aside for newspapers, feel personally connected to them, and trust their content more than most other media. The sustained attention received made newspaper readers more likely to discuss issues they read about and be influenced regarding purchases. Overall, the study showed that traditional media with higher attention levels can have a more powerful impact on consumers than digital media with less focused attention.
This is, in short, the bumpy road all startups will eventually take before reaching success. Every story is different but all will agree that their path followed this curve in some way.
