How to develop truly touching works on small-screen devices? At this developer conference, top developers from China and the United States shared their views on smart watch application development. Bao Yueqian, Vice President of Technology at Moji Weather, has a deep understanding of smartwatch interaction: "Watch applications are by no means just a migration of mobile phone functions. We need to have special interactive thinking for this screen that is closer to people." Wu Chao, Product Manager of Alipay, introduced a new function that makes smartwatches more convenient to pay: "Paying with a watch is already very convenient, but on this basis, we have developed offline payment to make convenience the best possible." Sun Junyi, Product Manager of Sogou Maps, believes that smartwatches have a natural advantage for in-car navigation, and people should think deeply about the relationship between smartwatches and the Internet of Vehicles. Regarding smartwatch dials, Tang Kaifeng, Product Manager of Magic Dial, said, "The biggest advantage of smartwatches is the rich gameplay. As the first entrance to smartwatches, the dial can have a lot of interactions." Dheera Venkatraman, an independent overseas developer, emphasized that developers should pay special attention to the difference between watches and mobile phones, and develop smartwatches based on the characteristics of smartwatches being close to the human body and easier to perceive. Lin Yili, Product Director of Mobvoi, summarized the core value of wearable product applications: for small-screen scenarios, tap into the unique value of smartwatches to make users' smartwatches more beautiful, easy to use and fun.
