  The smartphone market is still in its infancy, and yet with each passing year, new and more powerful mobile devices are released that outshine previous generations. In fact, smartphone technology has progressed to the point where it rivals the desktop and portable devices with enough memory and computer power to support complex work applications. Simultaneously, smart wearable technology is emerging at lightning speed. The Fitbit launched just over 2 years ago in May 2013. In March 2015, market research firm GfK reported 17.6 million smartwatches and health and fitness trackers (HFT) bought worldwide in 2014, and that number continues to grow exponentially. [1] But, it is impractical to wear single- and dual-use devices such as health and fitness monitors and “smart watches” that are dependent on the user carrying a handheld smartphone for most functionality to even work -- including networking, applications, and interfacing. The future is wearable smartphones. It free users entirely from handheld phones, watches, and scores of wrist-based monitors. Companies like ours are designing new wearable products and technologies that will replace handheld phones and Internet-connected devices as the primary wireless communications. OEMs will be able to drive the future of the mobile industry with new 3D interface, display, and biometric identification systems and capture more of the market. For the incumbent smartphone OEM looking to create breakout products in a rapidly commoditizing market, there is opportunity in licensing products and technologies that can be incorporated into generations of mobile devices.

19 Sep The Wearable Smartphone: The future of smartphones and wearable devices

If recent history is any indication for what the smartphone will look and be like in the near future, then we can expect radical changes and dramatically different ways that we will interface with this technology. Today wearables are mostly smartphone companion devices that connect with Bluetooth. That invisible cord will probably be cut soon. New products are constantly emerging that continue to revolutionize the smartwatch, smartphone, and wearable computing industry. In fact, in January 2016, Apple announced it is doing away with wired headphones jack altogether and going with Bluetooth earbuds. Soon enough you will have a smartphone on your wrist with independent cellular connectivity: the wearable smartphone. This will be your health and fitness monitor, media player, 3D mouse and controller, and biometric key and wallet. You will be able to make a call, effortlessly lock and unlock doors, avoid security lines and make payments instantly and securely all from your wrist. Wearable projection interfacing (mapping a display onto any surface) and heads-up displays (smartphone glasses that enable us to augment our reality and senses) allow your hands and fingers to be your touchscreen display eliminating the need to carry a pocket PC. Ben Arnold, Executive Director, Industry Analyst, Consumer Electronics, The NPD Group, said “Manufacturers continue to partner with designers to increase the appeal of the products, and there is a product for every type of consumer—from the most active athlete to the mom who just wants to remember when to pick up her kids from soccer practice—on the market.”[1] eyeCam is developing eyeHand a wearable smartphone with a projection interface that turns your hand and fingers into a touchscreen display, 3D mouse, and controller. If this is what the future looks like, what will it look like in 5 or 10 years? We can’t wait to see.
