1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,799
so what's all this Buzz we've been hearing lately about wearable technology

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,080
or just wearables do wearable devices

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:14,240
have real potential to be Paradigm shifting gadgets or is it just the same

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:19,520
stuff we've seen before strapped to some part of your Anatomy well in my mind it

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,480
is the Paradigm shifting one so let's take a look at some of the key

6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:28,119
differences between this developing product category and the better

7
00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:32,680
established one that came before it so it's not like a processor RAM a screen

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,840
in a Bluetooth module uh packed into something or really anything new so the

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:41,239
big change here then is form factor wearables need to be small enough to be

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,000
worn and not get in the way yet rugged enough to live their lives outside the

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,559
protective cushion of a pocket or purse while providing adequate battery life

12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:52,079
for all day operation oh and being stylish too I mean it's not like

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,600
consumers ask for much do they so how are manufacturers delivering on this

14
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:02,399
whole wearable idea well two of the most well-known early wearables are the

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,879
Samsung Galaxy Gear a and Google Glass a

16
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:08,720
well glass although these products did have some useful features so seeing

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,400
emails and text out a glance and even replying to them with voice searching

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,080
for information and getting directions with a little screen that only you can

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,799
see taking photos from your wrist or from your head James Bond style there

20
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,840
admittedly hasn't been a ton of long-term enthusiasm for either of them

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,920
and you're probably asking yourself well G why not surely everyone wants to walk

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:33,920
around looking like Jordi leforge or tangala right well in my mind these

23
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:39,159
devices are yet another example of stuff that wasn't quite ready for anyone but

24
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:44,000
the early adopter Enthusiast folks I mean remember modern smart devices are

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,920
just the latest in a long line of attempts to get people to wear gizmos

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:52,040
every day only to be foiled each time by social pressure like the Bluetooth

27
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,960
headpiece of the 2000s that caused passers by to assume that Mr three-piece

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,439
executive finally had his breakdown or a lack of compelling enough functionality

29
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:04,719
to outweigh the inconvenience of yet another doodad

30
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:09,360
to strap on in the morning like the calculator watches of the 80s but to me

31
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:15,400
the reason this time is different is because the technology is mature to

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:19,879
almost the point where wearables can add more convenience to your life then they

33
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:24,560
take away and because our electronic devices do so much to improve our lives

34
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:28,920
every day they've become practically ubiquitous so the use of one on the

35
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:34,319
street doesn't instantly turn you into a Doris these two things open up a whole

36
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,440
lot of new possibilities that combined with solid marketing for the devices

37
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:42,720
might just get wearable tech into the mainstream this time but once it gets

38
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,920
there what's it going to look like well here are some examples Microsoft is

39
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:51,519
working on taking augmented reality to the next level with a wearable pair of

40
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:56,280
goggles that it calls Hollow lens which will project applications and data onto

41
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:00,879
your actual physical surroundings in the form of a hologram Hol lens goes beyond

42
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:05,799
the capabilities of other smart glasses we've seen to actually let you interact

43
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,640
with your 3D canvas for design work productivity communication and even

44
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,319
gaming and there's been a lot of action in the wearable World geared towards

45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,000
Athletics and fitness for simple lifestyle improvements there are

46
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:20,640
comfortable bands that monitor useful stuff like burned calories steps taken

47
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:24,239
and distance traveled while biking jogging and otherwise going about your

48
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,319
day as well as your sleep Habits by the way and if you're into more extreme

49
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:31,120
stuff let's say you're a skier for example Oakley's Recon goggles will

50
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:34,080
display your current speed as well as your position on the trail while also

51
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:40,360
connecting to your smartphone and showing any missed notifications on a heads up display pretty freaking cool

52
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:42,879
stuff and it's only just the beginning and if you guys enjoyed this episode as
