Smart phones and smart watches who will have the last laugh?

REVIEW: In 2016, the smart watches in the world frequently chill, the overall current consumption situation in the industry is not optimistic. Although the market, including capital, is looking at smart watches, it can not be ruled out, and it remains an important smart product. It is even possible that it will replace smartphones in the future as an indispensable device for VR. why would you say so? And see below. OFweek Wearable Devices Network News By the end of 2015 the beginning of 2016, many people think that 2016 will be the year of the outbreak of smart watches and VR. The result is that the VR broke out, but constantly being fried; smart watch products, but a lot of waves, but was waved on the beach. In 2016, smart watches frequently hit the world, and the current overall consumption situation in the industry is not optimistic. June to September, the global smart watch shipments only 2.7 million units, down 51%. Overall, markets have lost interest in smartwatches, and there is not much demand for smartwatches compared to other wearable devices such as fitness wristbands. The reason why the watch is cold, on the one hand is the province of the product factor, that is, the product already has, but not yet to the eruption point, before the vitality is still strong mobile phone, followed by including virtual reality, augmented reality, etc. On the other hand, in addition to market demand, the hardware and technology are the bottlenecks of smart watches, can not solve the life problem can not solve more functions, no more there is no better experience, there is no A good experience will not constitute a user just need, this ring has not closed. Although the market, including capital, is looking at smart watches, it can not be ruled out, and it remains an important smart product. It is even possible that it will replace smartphones in the future as an indispensable device for VR. why would you say so? And see below. Two factors that hinder the development of smart watches You will think that smart watches this product is unsuccessful, mostly because of its design, functional and battery life factors. There are even many people think that smart watches is a redundant device, because it is not practical. In my opinion, the factors that hinder the development of mobile phones are mainly the following two points: 1, battery problems, of which the battery is the main factor. Because life is not long enough, leading to a lot of power-hungry hardware can not be used in smart watches, many functions can not be achieved on the smart watch, or even if realized, but also because life is too short and can not be used for a long time. Including the use of experience, in fact, have a certain relationship with life, so only high-end ability to support smart watches to achieve more functionality. Battery does not reach the inevitable can not make a better experience. 2, smart watch in the end is not the user just need? The current form of smart watches, in fact, is more like a castrated cell phone, in addition to the relevant data can be transmitted to mobile phones and other terminal devices, basically no other purpose. For example, equipped with YunOS's FIYTA light smart watch, to open the car door remotely; Huawei smart watch can pay for two-dimensional code cast on the screen, does provide a convenient payment. There are many functions, but there is no need to let users feel the need to use, so in use, more often just to see the time. The reason why there will be such a situation, it is precisely because smartwatches can not do for users want to buy a watch necessary. But in the future, smartwatches will never be as simple as you think, simply because the current hardware and software and technologies are not yet reached. In this regard, I will elaborate below. Three trends in the future of smart watches First, equipped with artificial intelligence technology, can greatly improve the product experience. Equipped with artificial intelligence technology, smart watches will really be intelligent, rather than just stay in the current Internet connection, through various APP to achieve information reading, payment, send text messages, tracking personal health data, view the weather conditions and other functions . For smart watches, artificial intelligence voice interaction technology will greatly improve its performance, users will be able to voice commands to replace more than touch-screen control, which can be more time to liberate his hands and eyes . The ideal use of smart watches scene, the user can achieve a taxi, call, navigation, eating and drinking and other localization service query and purchase services and other functions. The second is combined with VR, enhance the reality will make the watch more powerful. In many movies, you should have seen scenes that use augmented reality, typically triggered by wearable devices, most often with watches or similar gear worn on the arm. Can see that in the future of technology to achieve, people still hope to be able to do some articles on the watch. To a certain extent, the current smart watch can count as a primary product in this direction. On the other hand, through the development of the past two years, VR 3D immersive experience has been getting better and better, but how to make users interact better with the VR world has always been a problem. Helmet control panel, Bluetooth controller and more handheld control devices, to achieve user navigation, but still not enough portable, users want to be able to use smaller, more intelligent and more convenient device to participate in the VR interaction among the smart watches will become The best choice. Therefore, the combination of smart watches and VR, there will be a lot of room for development in the future. A technological breakthrough, smart watches or VR will become necessary equipment. Third, integration with other wearable smart devices. This is reflected in the following two aspects: 1, the human wear have become smart devices, management and control is a problem, each device requires separate control will be very troublesome. Therefore, you need a management center or master control. At present, the smart watch is still the main carrier, but in terms of portability, the smart watch is a good choice. Of course, if you have an artificial intelligence hub, controlling each wearable device through voice interaction is the best bet. 2, a variety of wearable device usage status, user feedback, consultation display, the external environment parameters and other data output, you need to be able to display a vector. Glasses in the augmented reality technology products, from the convenience considerations, the smart watch is the first choice, but also came in behind the phone, after all, the phone also need to come up to do the second operation. Moreover, the mobile phone will eventually be VR, artificial intelligence and other equipment replaced, after all, wearable devices to replace the output display carrier. Smart watches can replace smart phones? This should be the fourth point of the smart watch trend, but I feel the need to come out separately to discuss. What I've been thinking about is, in the future, what kind of smart device will replace the smart phone in the future after the era of the smart phone. Some people say that AR, Google glass was seen as a leading but not practical smart device, now, many similar products have done better than Google glass. Many mobile phones have achieved the AR function, you can see through the phone a lot of objects and even the human body is really the data, it is clear that this feature on the glasses, the user experience better. From the habit of using mobile phones if they will be replaced by smart equipment worn on the wrist, watches and bracelets will be given priority. In theory, if there is a more power-efficient screen, chip, if the flexible battery technology breakthroughs, the battery life will not be a problem. At that time, people will not consider the phone's various functions on the watch? Through the watch to open a variety of virtual reality interface, has appeared in many movie scenes. In addition, the use of curved screen mobile phone itself is toward the direction of wearable development. Screen surface, in fact, is the same as the smart phone made the existence of the phone, the trend is to make the phone smaller and smaller. With the gradual maturity of the chip, memory, VR technology and artificial intelligence technology, flexible smartphone will be smaller and smaller, so it is as small as the watch when it should be considered a smart phone or smart watch it? Add a watch on the phone the real function, it is So easy. In addition to the above points, in fact, there is a direction worth exploring, that is the watch itself. Now the market there are some light smart watches, such as FIYTA and other watch manufacturers, these businesses think the watch is a watch first, and other functions should be ancillary functions. In this direction, let me feel that the future of smart watches is like a secret agent in a large variety of agents the same. But no matter how the future of smart watches evolution, how to develop in wearable devices, in the future of intelligent terminals, it will have an important place. It is not impossible to replace a smart phone. This article is reproduced, does not represent the world position of million table.
