Enterprise wearables

*:* Enterprise wearables *:*

Wearable technology is related to both ubiquitous computing and the history and development of wearable computers. The terms “wearable technology“, “wearable devices“, and “wearables” all refer to electronic technologies or computers that are incorporated into items of clothing and accessories which can comfortably be worn on the body. These wearable devices can perform many of the same computing tasks as mobile phones and laptop computers; however, in some cases, wearable technology can outperform these hand-held devices entirely. Wearable technology tends to be more sophisticated than hand-held technology on the market today because it can provide sensory and scanning features not typically seen in mobile and laptop devices, such as biofeedback and tracking of physiological function. One of the major features of wearable technology is its ability to connect to the Internet, enabling data to be exchanged between a network and the device. Generally, wearable technology will have some form of communications capability and will allow the wearer access to information in real time. Data-input capabilities are also a feature of such devices, as is local storage. Examples of wearable devices include watches, glasses, contact lenses, e-textiles and smart fabrics, headbands, beanies and caps, jewelry such as rings, bracelets, and hearing aid-like devices that are designed to look like earrings.

Advantages of Enterprise wearables:

• Hands-free user experience
• Many wearables today have the ability to retrieve different physiological parameters about you as a user.
• Wearables on many levels were created in an attempt to simplify our daily functions.
• Wearables are set to become one of the more integral devices in the Io T vision.
• Low maintenance
• Long lasting energy

Disadvantages of Enterprise wearables:

• One aspect that needs to be better developed in many wearables is the actual accuracy of the physiological measurements.
• Usability barriers
• The wearable charging mechanism and battery life are one of the more critical challenges for various wearable devices.
• Some wearables are harmful to health
