In the next two to four years, wearable devices in the field of output value will reach $350 billion, benefit most, probably evolved from science and technology company for designers
Mankind is entering an era of by science and technology to create a new sensory experience, whether it's CES (international consumer electronics show) on the appearance of various virtual reality glasses, or simmering iot interactive technology, or hard-edged self-driving technology, have been the experience of ascension.
"But all this is for the design of wearable." Designer gordy, Miami (GadiAmit) think. His "hot" wearable Fitbit successfully build a series health tracker. Miami, there was no point of view of this year's CES, wearable equipment exhibition area has doubled in the last year.
"Think about it, and then a few years, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, Internet, self-driving technology, one of the so-called" black "science and technology, will eventually be incorporated into the design of wearable, become home cooking in their daily life." Miami, can really solve the problem, the realization of the highly practical wearable design, rely on various technologies mature. "After a few years, per capita daily wearable products is likely to more than 10 pieces, the number of design will be bigger and bigger proportion in the product development."
The world famous financial services organizations, credit suisse group (CreditSuisse) also predicted, as one of the fastest growing wearable electronics equipment, 2 to 4 years of future output value will reach $30 billion to $50 billion. To benefit the most, is likely to be the designer group, rather than the company. In fact, there have been many designers use close to the life of the perceptual skill, the appearance rigid "black" science and technology, become a part of daily life "soft".
Wash the white "black science and technology"
In the power of science and technology driven, daily necessities, wearable design has magically change into ring, backpacks, brooch, bracelet, helmet, gloves, sports shoes, can play imagination. Shocked at New York fashion week last year, for example, HiSmart backpack, will be able to control and intelligent of answering the phone module "seam" onto the leather. It is said, not long after, HiSmart will launch the second generation, increase the music playback control, real-time, away from remind, GPS positioning, and other functions.
Dr Industrial psychology, Spanish designer marcus ¡¤ weiler (MarcusWeller) is the focus in the details. Because experienced a slight driving accident, he had the idea of helmet design intelligence. Netizens are calling his skully helmet as the world's most intelligent wearable design, integration camera procession, the microprocessor, the supplementary section type navigation, proposals for the driver to broadcast, automatic stepless zoom display technology, technology of the rear view system can make drivers to drive no dead Angle understanding of the general environment, eliminate the visual blind spot.
Although load multiple technology, the modelling of the helmet is not abrupt and eccentricities. Some experts predict, apparently ordinary skully helmet also has the very big promotion potential, or to the iron man armor into reality, or the self-driving technology on the tall and wearable design combination.
And Heapsylon company designed and developed the intelligent neural sensing socks Sensoria, designed for wearable softer opened a head. Responsible for the design research and development of David d GanNuo (DavideVigano) admitted that the design inspiration of socks, began in their movement too hard sprained my ankle. "I imagine the intelligent equipment, can use big data analysis and prevention of sports injury, timely warning for the wearer." D GanNuo, according to the progress of materials science and technology brings to the Sensoria design research and development a lot of convenience, with sensor micro special conductive material to let he thought possible.
In fact, Google company ATAP team is doing the similar design, they are working with a Japanese cloth factory, the conductive lines with materials such as cotton, chemical fiber, silk weaving together, make a kind of cloth called ProjectJacquard. Group director for ai wan, pury (IvanPoupyrev) explained that the implanted weaving technology make seemingly ordinary textiles touch induction plane, people can control all kinds of intelligent device on the clothes.
Soon, people will also find more wearable design with "soft" surprise. For example, is about to turn into reality from conceptual design Onixx, is a cover knee flexible charging treasure, absorb energy from the wearer's movement, converted to electrical energy, charge for electronic devices. British artist studio, designed a smart shoes ShiftSneakers, vamp use reactive textile fabrics, contains a small flexible LED display. That is to say, "night run gens" can use the light change the color of the shoes. In artist design team's words, "this is for people with choice dyslexia gifts, have a pair of running shoes, is equivalent to bought 1 million pairs of shoes."
Looking for wearable "homely taste"
"On the market a lot of the design of the wearable too hard, hard to use well." Good at the future of the concept of fashion designers of America michelle Smith (MichelleSmith) on the look and feel of the wearable product at present stage, may represent a lot of people. From curiosity to abandoned in the chase to, full of geek wearable and equipment that they both love and hate.
Had "hot", Google has money to buy glasses, ended in retreat city, but for many upcoming could ideas of the wearable products is a wake-up call. The function of the real-time video, augmented reality is only looking at cool, but can't solve the problem of concrete, and high on modelling too weird to become cold. It is said that this year will return to the Google glasses and common glasses frameless modelling, design a lot of people. Its the challengers are extended the function of all kinds of novel, such as Kopin ride with the sun glasses, Microsoft HoloLens holographic lenses, etc.
"Google glasses before developing by science and technology personnel, designers and the distance between the technology it is hard to do something to keep them, but things are different now." Smith, want to seize the heart of the common people, science and technology companies in the development of wearable products, will increasingly rely on the designer. "The feast of the geek will soon become the designer dominate dinner. Wearable design will be more and more have homely taste."
And have the same opinion. Smith is not in the minority. With science and technology media predicted that the future can really into the life of ordinary people wearable product, must go through elaborate design, can solve the practical problems in reality, small and beautiful, soft and close-fitting, conforms to the user's personality and lifestyle.
"You can't keep to a 14-year-old girl and a 70 - year - old grandpa sell the same pair of glasses, the same clothes, the same shoes?" Like Fitbit Pebble a purple patch of form in the field of wearable technology company CEO Eric, luciano moggi, base (EricMigicovsky) hit the nail on the head to now wearable product problems are pointed out. "Wearable product design, it should be starting from the practical problems of human beings, to assess feasible technical solutions. This requires designers the leading product research and development." He noted that many companies by looking for the specific technical solutions of unknown product development, is the method of putting the cart before the horse, the lack of sense of design products will be difficult to foothold in the market.
Fitbit company already foreseen this trend. They start with famous jewelry designer Shang Li kashiwazaki (ToryBurch) was the cooperation. Intel company of science and technology and also the fashion designer association (CFDA) an agreement is reached, libraries have to create a reference for the wearable product design, template designer directly from developers to technology. Part of this design company, for women's aesthetic view began to create mellow style of wearable products. In our times, science and technology is the fashion, will get more and more positive.
