Wearables must provide unique use cases by leveraging network connectivity

Gathering microgrids and bringing network connectivity to wearable devices may be a necessary step for wearable devices to realize their full potential as standalone endpoints Strategy Analytics User Experience Strategy (UXS) Service Releases Research Report "User Experience Strategy Technical Planning Report - Wearable Devices. "By examining the needs, behaviors and expectations of consumers of wearable devices, the study found that introducing communication and combining information from different body parts can create unique use cases that will enhance consumer confidence The value proposition of wearable devices. Key findings of the report:

• Wearable devices running on smartphones are not really smart, they're more like Bluetooth accessories that make them less consumer-friendly • While wearable devices designed around the core senses (such as visual, audible and Tactile) can bring their own practical benefits, but they can not adapt to changing technology, which has caused a lot of limitations. • The introduction of a unique operating system can improve the wearable device's life and adaptability; not only can promote unique Function, but also with other different wearable devices to interact.

Mathew Alton, author and strategist at Strategy Analytics, commented: 'Wearable devices such as smartwatches rely on their paired smartphones for their functionality, but smartphones and tablets work well on their own, allowing wearable devices It's just a smartphone accessory rather than a standalone computing device, so there are very few interesting things it can do. "

Chris Schreiner, director of innovation research at user experience for Strategy Analytics, added: "The web is the fundamental force behind change: By connecting different wearable devices together, they can exchange information in a more useful way by combining sensor data from different body parts.
