Wearable Computing Ecosystem

3,743 views

Published on

Wearable computers have been ideas or experiments for the last couple of decades, but with the advent of products like Google Glass and the Samsung Galaxy Gear, they are finally becoming available to the mainstream consumer market. This presentation covers the wearable computing ecosystem from consumer fitness devices to ones used for specialized vertical applications, both launched and under development. It also discusses current and new technologies that are becoming much more relevant with this movement, along with different development models, APIs and SDKs.
Note: This was also a QCon Shanghai Short Keynote Talk
