The smartwatch is one of the biggest buzzwords of 2015. Capitalizing on the powerful need for personalization and accessibility. If you want life made even easier, then this is the next step.
With varying features and advantages smartwatches are beginning to make their footprint as a personal computing device. Whether by providing fitness and wellness services such as running health applications, tracking steps, tracking heartrate and any other sensor-related features. Or by providing different mobile functions such as showing notifications, sending messages, answering calls, providing directions, NFC payments and the like. The different smartwatch devices vary in their offered features as well as their look and feel, however, at the end of the day, they provide the user with their own tailor-made experience.
The idea is that you can have all the functions of a smartphone but without needing to take it out of your pocket so you can better filter what’s important and what’s, not with a simple look at your wrist.
With its sensors it can tell you how much calories you’ve burned, the distance you’ve walked during the day, your heart rate and the like. *In the future may be able to analyze and draw conclusions about this data.
The future vision of the smartwatch is that it’ll connect to what is known as the IoT world- the connected world of devices where machines will speak with other machines. This will simplify many daily functions for the user who can potentially pay with their smartwatch, use their smartwatch as a ticket in the airport or an even more futuristic outlook: have the smartwatch speak with his home alarm system to notify of an intruder. The options are endless.
The whole personalized nature of the smartwatch can allow for the collection of great user data that could potentially assist in better targeting and offerings for the user.
Now imagine user experience made even more convenient with wireless charging—meaning there is no need to plug in the smartwatch awkwardly into an outlet or USB port. That’s where Humavox comes in with a wireless charging solution for smartwatches. Providing users with a truly personalized and seamless charging experience.
