And of course, there’s a lot of speculation about Apple Watch, due out soon. Here’s a great photo essay from Tech Republic to give you a sense of it. Wearables have been a huge focus at tech conferences this year, including both CES and MWC. Sony is on the bandwagon, with a similar product called SmartEyeglass, and it doesn’t end here. Others hailed the technology, and predicted it would be back around again-and soon. Many assumed that was a noncommittal way to say that Glass was effectively dead. The device is no longer available to the public, though Google said it will continue to work on future versions of Glass in secret. It can augment your real-world view with contextual information such as the time, temperature, or directions. Perhaps the most famous-or infamous?-wearable so far is Google Glass, the “optical head-mounted display,” (or OHMD for short), that provides contextual information in the upper right corner of your field of vision. More recently, Fitbit, Nike+ FuelBand, Jawbone, and others have brought computer-controlled activity-tracking wristbands and watches to market. Chest-strap heart rate monitors from Polar, Garmin, and others have been around for decades. “Wearable” seems to be this year’s tech buzzword, but the devices are arguably not new. ( See a demo from Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015 here.) More importantly, this is just the beginning of a new era in computing (read some of my more detailed thoughts on this subject at my LinkedIn blog). You can receive alerts when new BBM messages come in, read your messages, respond using voice recognition and more. BBM is officially available on a wristwatch near you.
