As a result, the market of smart phone, tablet and PC has gradually moved into a saturation period and there are many conjectures about when, what, and how the next round of commercial reform is. With the trend of the time, the wearable computers embedded into the world, with its perfect features, combining the mobile Internet, smart homes, humans, the Internet of Things and so on, have become the most ideal internet smart devices of connecting every aspect and with the most potential market.
2014 is said to be the year of the wearable computers by the people inside or outside the industry. This year, with the massive influx of talents and capital, the field of wearable computers has experienced a new round of improvement and change; boom of hardware and frequent mergers and investments showed up frequently. The giants of IT industry, like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung and so on, entered the furious competition from hardware to the ecosystem platform, which indicates a new technology wave.
This thesis gives a brief introduction of the definition and development history of the wearable devices, introduces the categories and functions of different kind of wearable devices in detail, indicates how the wearable computers change our life, points out the develop opportunities in different application areas, and analyzes the challenges the field is now facing.
