Introduction
In Computer Fashion Wave, "Digital Jewellery" looks to
be the next sizzling fashion trend of the technological wave.
The combination of shrinking computer devices and
increasing computer power has allowed several companies
to begin producing fashion jewellery with embedded
intelligence.
By the end of the decade, we could be wearing our
computers instead of sitting in front of them.
What is DIGITAL JEWELLERY ?
Digital jewellery is the fashion jewellery with embedded
intelligence.
Digital jewellery will be the evolution in digital technology that
makes computer elements entirely compatible with the human form.
“Digital jewellery” can help you solve problems like forgotten
passwords and security badges.
They have the potential to be all-in-one replacements for your
driver’s license, key chain, business cards, credit cards, health
insurance card, corporate security badge, and loose cash.
DIGITAL JEWELLERY and its components
Soon cell phones will take a totally new form, appearing to have no form at
all.
The various components that are inside a cell phone: Microphone, Receiver,
Touch pad, Display, Circuit board, Antenna, and Battery.
IBM has developed a prototype of a cell phone that consists of several pieces
of digital jewellery that will work together wirelessly, possibly with
Bluetooth wireless technology………….
EAR RINGS
Speakers : embedded into these
earrings will be the phone's
receiver.
These days many manufacturers
are developing things like
Bluetooth devices in the form of
pendants or earrings that people
can wear that help enhance heir
mobile phones, computers PDAs,
basically anything that uses similar
Technology
Necklace
Users will talk into the necklace's
embedded microphone
They transfer the information in the
forms of signals
It consist of sensors by these it will
work.
It is mainly by bluetooth technology.
BRACELET
Equipped with a video graphics
array (VGA) display, this wrist
display could also be used as a
caller identifier that flashes the
name and phone number of the
caller.
Bluetooth Bracelet built in
rechargeable battery, when a call
is coming the bracelet will
vibrate and lamp flash.
Ring
Perhaps the most interesting piece of
the phone, this "magic decoder ring”
is equipped with LEDs that flash to
indicate an incoming call
It could also inform you that e-mail is
piling up in your inbox.
It can also be programmed to flash
different colors to identify a particular
caller or indicate the importance of a
call and urgency of email.
IBM’S MAGIC DECODER RING
The mouse-ring that IBM is developing will
use the company's Track Point technology to
wirelessly move the cursor on a computer-
monitor display. (Track Point is the little
button embedded in the keyboard of some
laptops).
They transferred Track Point technology to a
ring
On top of the ring is a little black ball that
users will swivel to move the cursor.
TRACK POINT IN LAPTOPS
The Java Ring
Dallas semiconductor is developing a new Java-based,computerized
ring that will automatically unlock doors and log on to computers
It is a stainless-steel ring, 16-millimeters (0.6 inches) in diameter,
houses a 1-million-transistor processor, called an I Button.
The ring has
134 KB of RAM,
32 KB of ROM,
a real-time clock &
a Java virtual machine
BLUE DOT RECEPTOR:
The Java Ring is snapped into a reader,
called a Blue Dot receptor, to allow
communication between a host system
and the Java Ring.
Java ring is programmed with the applets
according to our application. specific java
applets is preloaded in to the java ring.
system connected to the receptor performs
the function that the applet instructs to.
Technical specifications
Digital jewellery devices consist of a
screen or display for information, most
likely consisting of 7-16-segment, or dot
matrix LEDs, LCDs.
An audio visual or other 'display' could
consist of a speaker, a single flashing
light, a sensor of some kind .
Display Technologies.
The digital jewelry display, for
instance, every alphabet and
number system has found
representation with in the
electronics realm and 'dot-matrix'
.
It may be in LED 7-segment, 16-
segment LEDs , LCDs, and other
displays.
APPLICATIONS
In Social Networking-
Helps to ease communication between users as well as helps to interact
and respond faster as it helps to share the latest information around the
world.
In Personal Field-
Rings such as JAVA RING’s help to notify about dates, messages, emails
and any other notifications or communicate using other components of
jewellery.
In Intelligence Field-
Digital jewellery can be used to adjust the Security Council, where it is
considered a modern method and easy to use in the transfer of
information in a more secure and confidential due to their small size and
used it on a personal level.
In medical field-
Provides ease in the communication between the doctor and the patient.
Advantages.
Wireless wearable technology.
Easy to carry every where.
Sizzling outlook to the user.
Natural interaction between the user.
Disadvantages.
Display is very small.
Rays may be harmful.
waterproof care should be taken.
Very expensive to afford.
conclusion
The basic idea behind the digital jewelry concept is to have the
convenience of wireless, wearable computers while remaining
fashionably sound.
It is hoped to be marketable soon, however, several bugs remain.
Charging capabilities and cost are just a sample of the problems that
lurk
