Android Wear and the Future of SmartwatchKoan-Sin Tan
Android Wear is Google's platform for wearable computing, currently focused on smartwatches. It allows for voice commands, wearable apps, and data exchange/synchronization with Android phones. However, current Android Wear offerings are limited as peripherals to phones, lacking inspiration from other bands/watches and no framework like HealthKit. The future of Android Wear may bring better integration of notifications, sensors, health data standards and more imaginative form factors beyond watches. Overall, current smartwatch technology has not yet realized the full potential envisioned in science fiction.
