Inventory: wearable devices that come out of the sci-fi world
Release date: 2014-10-14
If you are a fan of the Hollywood sci-fi movie "Iron Man" or the American drama "Spirit of the Shield", you will naturally be immersed in the Marvel movie, such as Superman, Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Transformation, Parallel Universe, etc. I also imagine that one day I will become a superhuman being. Similarly, any controversial wearable device like the Apple Watch has a lot of enticing stories. This is a sci-fi and reality sci-fi, technology and humanity, security and privacy intertwined industry, and this The basis of everything is that human beings are no longer satisfied with the connection between equipment and equipment, and between people, but to achieve a seamless integration of people and equipment - to understand the world and quantify the self.
Smart watch, entrance on the wrist
In the 007 series of movies that are popular all over the world, James Bonde wants to drink, drink, gun, bow tie, and hair style. And the screens that perfectly reflect the unique temperament of 007, the only watch is indispensable. Among them, "007 Big Breaking Sky Crisis", Bond relied on a diving 007 HD camera watch to successfully explore the secret again and again. This watch focuses on most of the definitions of future watches by the screenwriters at the time: filming high-definition video, taking high-definition pictures, recording high-quality sound, computer cameras for video conferencing or video chat, mass storage devices, and finally It is only used as a watch to display time.
In 2012, Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble, decided to raise $100,000 for Kickstarter's upcoming "crown" smartwatch project to survive the crisis. Who would have thought that this unintentional approach created a myth of product crowdfunding: the project was released for two hours, and the goal of raising $100,000 was completed. After 28 hours, the fundraising exceeded $1 million. In the end, Pebble received 85,000 booking orders and received $10.26 million in financing, and now its global sales have exceeded 400,000 units.
As a smart watch featuring E-ink black and white screens, it does not include complex phone calls, camera functions, etc., and only one purpose: let you view the notification content in the simplest form. In March of this year, Pebble officially launched the app store. The store offers a number of Pebble-specific apps and dial designs to provide the wearer with more personalized information applications and style matching options. On Pebble, the eBay app allows users to browse information updates and discover New products, and you can add content to the "Browse List" for subsequent bidding. With the Evernote app, users can quickly view memos, reminders, and notes.
Unlike smart watches such as Pebble and Apple Watch, moto360 has taken another design path. Its Android Wear system with a round dial design is more fashionable and elegant than the smart watches on the market today. It is not as distracting as a smart phone. Usually, the moto360 displays the normal watch pointer page, but the moto360 can receive emails, make phone calls, or view social information by reminding them by vibration or the like. In addition, moto360 has a voice assistant function similar to siri, which can directly perform voice reply information, query weather, etc. by any "ok, Google" command. The Moto 360 is equipped with an optical heart rate sensor on the back. Stepper, support IP67 waterproof and dustproof at the same time.
But compared with Apple's Apple Watch, Pebble, moto360 and other smaller team size and application ecology are more threatened. Apple CEO Tim Cook said at the D11 Technology Conference last year that it is very risky to do wearable devices. Because the product must be excellent enough to convince people to put it on the body. Now Apple's official website declares: "Apple Watch is the personal device we have built so far that is really close to you."
The official shipment of Apple Watch may be postponed until March next year, but from the current product concept and application technology, the competition between its products and similar products has formed a big gap. In this product, Apple innovatively adopted several integrated innovation models: digital crown, App, Taptic Engine, interactive social, Digital Touch, Siri, health sensor and so on.
You can fully imagine that when you have a mobile phone that you can't hold with one hand, the watch will become an extension of the phone, and your hand will be freed: with the digital crown, you can be on the Apple Watch Scroll, zoom, browse, etc. without obscuring the display; when you are in motion, the infrared and visible LEDs, combined with the photoreceptor, will record your heart rate and share your heartbeat with the Digital Touch feature. To a friend; using the Taptic Engine, it generates a touch that no one else can detect, you can not only receive the information in the first time, but if your friend also has an Apple Watch, even if it is thousands of miles away, You can also "lightly poke" their wrists to say hello, you can even choose smart responses, voice responses, share your location, or simply return an animated expression based on your conversations with your friends; use Siri to help you dictate Information, confirm the itinerary on the calendar, or find the nearest coffee shop, etc.
Represented by smart watches and smart bracelets, emerging technology companies around the world are exploring the human health market. They use a range of mini-wearing devices, sensors, and intelligent algorithms to gain weight, exercise, and sleep time. data. Companies such as Motorola, Samsung, Nike, Jawbone, Fitibit, and With have launched fierce competition. It can be said that the human body has become a new and important source of mobile Internet data, and the living body, along with the acceleration of the Internet of Things, will usher in an era of "human body data and life network." This will be an era of information sharing everywhere, ideas, photos, whereabouts, playlists, recipes, amount of exercise, etc. All the things you think of and can't think of will be on the Internet on your own initiative or involuntarily. Open or quietly spread.
Virtual and reality, humans restructure the world form
The film "Senses Game" directed by David Cronenberg in 1999 was released in Germany. The film tells the story of a thrilling, sci-fi story in the future of technology: a virtual reality system. The designer Alice Geller is beautiful and sexy. She is the queen of the video game industry. She uses biology and related technologies to develop X-touch (eXistenZ) virtual reality games. The game's driver is a kind of organ that is cut through the spine. The interface can be directly inserted into the player's nervous system. This driver can affect the player's memory, anxiety and concentration. The player is different and the direction of the game is different.
Unlike the bloody horror of the movie, the reality is much better. In March of this year, Facebook announced a $2 billion acquisition of Oculus VR, the leading company in immersive virtual reality technology. The company's latest Oculus Rift head-mounted display, code-named Oculus Crescent Bay, is likely to change the way people play in the future. It has two eyepieces, the screen display is upgraded to 900*1080 pixels, and the binocular vision merges with 1080P resolution. And with gyroscope-controlled viewing angle and 3D display, it is a major feature of this game product, so the game's immersion is greatly improved, including "Half Life 2", "Team Fortress 2", "Analog Surgeon 2013" After dozens of remaining models have been released, the game has already provided support, and more and more software vendors have begun to develop applications for it to be applied in more fields, such as architectural design, education and treatment of autism, Treatment of phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder and other fields.
For the acquisition of companies such as Oculus VR, Zuckerberg said: "Invasive augmented reality and virtual reality products will become part of people's daily lives in the future. This is our long-term judgment on the market. This is not only reflected in virtual reality technology. The game market, which is beginning to play an important role, is also reflected in other areas of communication, trade, education, and technology intervention.
Remember the toughest steel armor that Tony Stark played by Robert Downey in the movie Iron Man? There is also the mechanical exoskeleton armor used in the movie Avatar. With it, humans can Fighting against enemies in a hostile environment, as well as the Jaeger mech in the movie Pacific Rim, with a weight of nearly 2,000 tons, a 25-story mech, and the use of extraterrestrial monsters after the game. vivid memory. To become a real-life "Iron Man" needs to have a variety of cutting-edge technologies such as exoskeletons to enhance power and even impact beams, which is certainly not easy to do, but it is not completely impossible.
For more than a decade, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been working on exoskeleton development to improve the physical activity of American soldiers. In 2010, defense contractor RayTheon first introduced one of the results of this development program: the XOS 2 military exoskeleton. The XOS 2 consists of a series of structures, sensors, actuators and controllers that are primarily driven by high pressure hydraulics. The exoskeleton allows the wearer to lift a weight of about 200 pounds (90 kilograms) repeatedly hundreds of times without fatigue, while repeatedly breaking through a 3 inch (76.2 mm) thick board. The mechanical device developed for the US Army is also very lightweight, and soldiers wearing it can easily play football, hit speed balls, climb stairs and downhill.
In the movie, Iron Man was able to fly because he had a powerful jet on his sole. This jet could propel him up, but he would neither burn his feet nor ask him. You must wear plastic heel shoes. In the real world, there aren't any shoes with jets that can help you fly freely in the sky, but there is still something to replace, that is, the Jet Pack. Martin Aircraft of New Zealand has been developing on a personal flight backpack for several years and has conducted several successful simulator flight tests. Today, the company has obtained a permit for manned flight test, a personal jet flight. The backpack uses a V4 piston engine that can reach speeds of 63 miles per hour. The backpack can carry about 5 liters of gasoline, flying about 32 miles (about 51 kilometers), and only about half an hour.
Consciousness or somatosensory control, equipment opens the human body component revolution
In 2012, the American film "Comprehensive Memories" starring Colin Farrell and others won the box office in China. In the play, Farrell, who plays Douglas Quaid, shows us the "futuristic" high technology of human imagination: The mobile phone embedded in the skin of the palm, the magnetic levitation car, the implantation of memory, the reading of the dream, the 17-minute crossing the center of the earth to the "falling road" on the other side of the earth. In fact, these dazzling high-tech are not all out of imagination. Some of the incredible wearable technologies in "Comprehensive Memories" have already been realized in real life, while others are in the embryonic stage of development.
The mobile phone embedded under the skin of the palm is called “Digital Tattoo Interfaceâ€. It was implemented as early as 2008; scientists used microprocessors to replace the hippocampus in mice, controlling long-term and short-term memory in mice; Science Laboratory in Kyoto, Japan In this way, scientists invented a system to reconstruct the brain's image by scanning the human brain with a magnetic resonance imaging machine (MRI); the more sensational thing is that Russian entrepreneur Dmitry Itskov launched the 2045 project with the goal of passing The brain-computer interface transfers human consciousness to the robot, realizes the dream of human eternal life through the robot incarnation, or at least will get rid of the limitations of the human body.
In the sci-fi blockbuster "Minority Report", we saw that Tom Cruise played the protagonist. In 2054, he skillfully dragged and dropped the picture with his fingers. The action was very handsome and cool. In less than a decade, this technology is no longer a science fiction, it has become a reality.
The sixth sense technology, invented by Pranav Mistry of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, has brought reality and virtuality to a certain extent. The entire system consists of four colored marker rings on the finger, a small camera, a portable projector, and a laptop. You can volley to complete a painting on the wall; you can use a finger to draw a square to complete a photographic work, then check the photographic effect against a wall or a piece of paper; if you want to see the time, use When a finger draws a circle on the arm, a virtual watch is automatically displayed. If you want to make a call, you can directly project the keyboard to the palm of your hand and use your finger to complete the dialing at the palm of your hand. If you are not worried about the product during shopping, You can instantly scan product information and view the results online. In the words of the inventor PranavMistry, the system will free people from the "machines in front of the machine."
Unlike the Sixth Sense technology, which is at the academic level, a gesture control arm ring called Myo has received 30,000 orders and raised more than $14 million. Myo is an innovative armband that can be worn on any arm. Above the elbow joint, the bioelectric activity generated by the user's muscles is detected. People who wear it can manipulate PPT or KeyNote displays, video games, toy airplanes, music, and various software programs to interact with them by simply moving their fingers or waving their arms.
The future has come, how is the market and business, security and privacy balanced?
According to market research firm Garnter's report, there will be 26 billion IoT devices by 2020, and the market value will reach 300 billion US dollars. The report predicts that by 2020, the number of smartphones, tablets and PCs in use will reach 7.3 billion, but this number is only one-third of the total number of connected devices - indicating that the next wave of computing revolution will not happen on smartphones/tablets In the PC/PC sector, but in the health, insurance, home appliances and automotive industries, wearable devices will be the most important branch.
Under such a large number of devices and human data interaction behavior, if there is a bug in the cloud of the bearer system service or the user's personal account ID is stolen, it may be exploited and attacked by the hacker. Recently, the Hollywood actress nude photo leakage incident has been raging. The fuse may be that the actress's password setting is too simple, and at this time caused the FBI's idea, has begun to investigate the time of the investigation.
As the types of wearable devices continue to grow, the types of information stored by individuals will be more abundant. Unstructured information will even exceed the amount of structured information, such as a person's heartbeat, blood pressure, blood oxygen data; deep sleep, Sleep data such as shallow sleep; gesture posture during exercise and pressure data of various parts of the body, etc. Even in the future, everyone's genetic data is stored in a private cloud. Imagine where you have been and done. Things that have passed, people who have been together, things that have been bought, even the quality of sleep, etc., when we record and share this information, we also draw a self-model.
There is a case where you buy an Apple Watch watch and wear it 24 hours a day, and you are happy to share your personal information on social networking sites. One day, you suddenly don’t know why you are recruiting colleagues and friends. A sneer. Because they found that between 1:15 and 2:00 in the morning, when you should have a deep sleep, you produced so much motion data. Maybe you will say that I was doing sit-ups at that time, but when someone used this data to make algorithmic guesses, he would know the pattern, frequency, and even the movements of weightlifting, sprinting, yoga, etc. Different body stress responses.
Since the advent of Google Glass, discussions about whether it would invade privacy have never subsided. Google has issued two consecutive bans, one for the face recognition app and one for pornography. Google said in a statement: "Many people are interested in the possibility of face recognition on Google Glass, and they also expressed concern. As we have been insisting on in the past few years, we have not established strong privacy. Before the protection mechanism, we will not add facial recognition to our products. In view of this, we will not approve any facial recognition applications related to Google Glass for the time being."
When some commercial companies combine your geographic location, consumption records, medical records, and community sharing information to evaluate your personal credit and spending power; when some people know which drug you are allergic to, you can even develop When you have a personally effective drug; when there are security design flaws in the wireless or wired communication protocol of the medical device, the hacker can control your pacemaker; when all this happens, you know how safe your personal privacy is. Important, wearable devices are fast and comprehensive for people to collect data. It will know you better than you. In the future, people will enjoy the freedom of fear while enjoying the convenient life brought by wearable products. We are equally scared and upset!
