Wearable Devices

A wearable device or wearable is a small, mobile computing device designed to

be worn by a consumer. These devices often communicate with a mobile device or

computing using Bluetooth. Three popular types of wearable devices are activity trackers,

smart watches, and smart glasses.

An activity tracker is a wearable device that monitors fitness-related activities

such as distance walked, heart rate, pulse, calories consumed, and sleep patterns. These

devices typically sync, usually wirelessly, with a web or mobile app on your computer or

mobile device to extend the capability of the wearable device (Pappas 32-41).

A smart watch is a wearable device that, in addition to keeping time, can

communicate wirelessly with a smartphone to make and answer phone call, read and send

messages, access the web, play music, work with apps such as fitness trackers and GPS

and more. Most include a touch screen (Carter and Schimidt).

Smart glasses, also called smart eyewear, are wearable head-mounted eyeglass-

type devices that enable the user to view information or take photos and videos that are

projected to a miniature screen in the user’s field of vision. For example, the device

wearer could run an app while wearing smart glasses that display flight status information

when he or she walks into an airport. Users control the device through voice commands

or by touching controls on its frame. Some smart glasses also include mobile apps, such

as fitness tracker and GPS (Yazzie)

Activity trackers, smartwatches, and smart eyewear are available from a variety of

manufacturers. Before making a purchase, consumers should research costs and features

of all options to determine the device that best suits their requirements.
