Experts believe that 2014 is the year when wearable technology is going to become a huge trend.
Although it has existed for several years, consumers are finally realizing the many benefits of
wearable technology and starting to buy into these products. In the next few years, expect to see
huge changes in the way that people interact with each other, track their health, and stay
connected because of this trend.
Wearable Technology, What is It?
Wearable technology encompasses a broad range of devices that are worn. These devices could be a
strap, glasses, or even a shirt, but all of them have embedded electronics and are known as
‘smart‘. Many of these devices are customizable and connect to the internet or to other devices
through either Wi-Fi, NFC, or Bluetooth. The technology built into the devices has a huge range
of new and proposed functions. They can even be upgraded and enhanced to suit a user‘s needs or
specifications.
Health and Fitness
One of the ways that wearable technology is going to change the future is by giving users greater
insight and flexibility into their health and fitness. For example, Trendwoo, a company that
specializes in wearable technology, has developed a product Motion stereo headphones. These
headphones are compatible with a wide range of devices and can be worn while running or
exercising, allowing the user to have hands-free control of their music or audio controls at all
times. This devices also has a heart rate monitor, which is a huge benefit of wearable
technology. For users who need to keep their heart rate within a certain range or want to meet
certain workout goals, supplying this information through a wearable device is a huge benefit.
Other devices can be used to track physical activity and help users meet certain workout goals or
keep track of their health trends over time. With these new devices, users are going to be more
informed about their health and fitness with wearable technology that transmits information to
apps and other devices. Expect to see a huge expanse of these devices in the fitness and health
world.
Improved Connectivity
People today want to have access to all their devices without having them present. With wearable
technology, people now have the option to have more control while away from a computer or phone.
Specialized apps and equipment allow users to control their devices when they‘re not home, giving
greater piece of mind and security. In the future, expect to see an increase in the usage of
these products. People want to make sure that they have access to everything that‘s needed, so
with these advances, people won‘t have to take as many devices with them on the road and have
more control when they‘re away. Overall, this trend is going to lead to greater security and an
improved response time.
Rapid Changes
Technological experts agree that with the huge advances made in wearable technology, 2014 is
going to be the year that these devices become widespread. Many people already use them to track
health and fitness, stay connection, and increase security. Wearable technology simplifies many
processes and lets each person have greater control on a daily basis.
