Android Wear summary: Making smartwatches cool

Android Wear summary: Making smartwatches cool
David Singleton, Director of Engineering at Google, was in charge of the presentation on wearable devices, Android Wear (platform) at the I/O 2014 conference. He first threw out an interesting statistic: "Android users check their phones 125 times a day on average." Does that sound a bit much? What about transferring some interactive functions to the watch - Android Wear? He firmly believes that this can greatly reduce the frequency of users taking out their phones, saving you trouble and worry. Singleton used the LGG watch to demonstrate the functions, and here are the highlights and some small details: Interface: Gently lift the phone to switch between black and white mode and color mode. Interaction and Cards: The entire device is touch and voice operated (Google Glass's iconic command "OK Google" is also available on this product), and the core of the interaction is cards - this is exactly the same as Google Glass, and the foundation behind it is Google Now; in terms of touch, swiping up and down can switch between different notifications, and swiping left and right can view detailed information or perform further operations, such as replying to text messages, answering calls, ignoring this reminder, etc. Real-time seamless notification: This is the highlight. The application experience of the watch and the mobile phone can be seamlessly connected. For example: after dismissing the SMS reminder on the watch, the SMS reminder on the mobile phone will also disappear - the logic behind this is three words: continuity (Continuity, yes, it is also the keyword of WWDC2014) Daily life applications: When you see a new word on the menu in a foreign restaurant, such as limburger, you just need to casually swing out your watch and ask it: "What does this mean?"; when you want to listen to music on your phone, you don't need to take out your phone, just tell your watch directly: "Play music." - Do you see what it means? Yes, Android wearable products can control other devices; set alarms; check weather forecasts; detect heart rate; navigate, "This product is especially suitable for walking"; and Google search, which has become a part of countless people's lives, etc. Food, travel, transportation, health, search, entertainment, communication... This is a wearable product that covers a full range of experiences. Imagine that you have collected a lot of food on Pinterest before. When you come to a city, Pinterest's watch application will automatically pop up a reminder: "Hey, the restaurant you collected is nearby!" Have an appetite? Swipe left or right to view the location of the restaurant. API and developers: All API interfaces are open, and developers can customize highly personalized UIs and synchronize data between tablets and wearable devices. To make your app interact with Android Wear, just add the "reply" code, which allows Android Wear users to activate and call various functions of the app through voice commands, such as: "Send me a tweet." Missing? The Google Notes app is not supported. When can I buy it? Currently, there are three Android Wear devices, including round and square styles: LG G Watch, Samsung Gear Live, and Moto 360. In terms of parameters, all watches that support Android 4.3 and above have the potential to become Android Wear. LG G Watch and Galaxy Gear will be available in the Play Store today, while Moto 360 will have to wait until later this summer (many people at the scene expressed regret, as round devices are quite popular).

As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity.
