3. INTRODUCTION

4. INTRODUCTION Wearables are an important and a new emerging technology Number of applications designed for wearables are increasing rapidly It is an extension of the user’s mind and body and provides a hands-free environment Will become commonplace in the near future and will be embraced

5. WHAT ARE WEARABLES?

6. WHAT ARE WEARABLES? Scaled down electronic gadgets Clothing or accessories run by a computer Incorporate practical functions and features Wearable computing: The study or practice of creating , outlining , building , or utilizing small body-borne computational gadgets Examples: Smart watches, Smart Bands, Smart Jewelry and glasses

7. 2. A BRIEF HISTORY OF WEARABLES

8. A BRIEF HISTORY OF WEARABLES 1975 Pulsar Calculator Watch Hamilton Watch Company releases the first watch calculator 1979 Sony Walkman Introduced a new portable way to listen to music on the go 1987 Digital Hearing Aid Nicolet introduces first body-worn digital hearing aid 2000 Bluetooth First Bluetooth headset shipped 2007 Apple iPhone Releases 2013 Google Glass Headmounted display that prevents phone-like interaction, hands-free information

9. 3. APPLICATIONS OF WEARABLES

10. APPLICATIONS OF WEARABLES Healthcare and Fitness Heart rate, Pedometer, Motion sensing, Physical and mental wellbeing Navigation Maps, Compass, Weather, Expedition Security Military, ID Recognition,Rescue/Tracking Communication Social Media, Notifications, Messaging, Hands-free audio/video calling Event Organisation Scheduling events, Time, Calendar, Reminders, Alarms

11. 4) WORKING OF WEARABLES

12. At grass root level , wearables qualify as devices that are : Portable Small in Size Ambient Ubiquitous Efficient Personal The working principles of any and all wearables

13. How does it all work ? Two - Part device with feedback from another computer Presence of a variety of on-board sensors like : Accelerometer , Gyroscope , Barometer , Ambient light sensor , compass etc This array of sensors log various life activities like sleep patterns , jogging activity . The use of highly mobile and efficient platforms. Persistent connection to information sources . Use cases specific to the ultra-portable omnipresent nature of wearables enable them to work in a unique way. Putting it all together in a way no other technology gets close to the user.

14. Android Wear

15. Android Wear - Structure RUNTIMES ART DALVIK Application Framework Android wear is based on the Android Platform maintained by Google as the AOSP Kernel based on linux. (Open Source) Used the Dalvik runtime but since recently has moved to ART . An application framework that revolves around various managers which help apps manage various resources. Applications can be developed using XML and Java using the SDKs provided.

16. Android Wear - Device and Development All Android devices use low power SOCs based on the ARM architecture , like the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 400 clocked at 1.2GHz or Intel’s equivalent low power SOCs. They include a variety of on board sensors . Screens typically used enhance visibility in outdoor environment and consume lesser power . Technologies like IPS LCDs , POLED , AMOLED . Android Wear apps are developed using the Android Wear API It supports two way interaction between mobile and the wearable. Uses the Bluetooth 4.0 LE when available . Supports NLP and Voice Interactions along with touch gestures. It is included the the APK developed for the Mobile module which makes it very portable and convenient. In true spirit of Android , its watch faces and other functionalities are highly customizable.

17. CONCLUSION Wearables will effectively increase safety, comfort and security for users It will enhance the quality of life of the user at both work and home They are the true extension of mind and body
