  • Sproutling promises to use wearable, sensor-driven technology to give parents insight into their child's sleeping patterns. It does this with a wearable anklet, a charging dock with a novel UI, and an app
  • The app uses animations, not hard numbers, to provide an at-a-glance reassurance that your baby is alive and well ("New parents aren't going to know if 130 beats per minute is better than 90, and without the medical context to understand vitals data it's just going to cause more fear and anxiety and needless calls to the doctor,"
  • This generation of new parents are millennials. "They grew up with a smartphone in their pocket, so they're looking for technology to solve their problems,"

  • по мнению гендиректора Swatch Group,
  • умные часы – это быстро устаревающая бытовая техника и она не станет конкурентом механическим часам, которые служат десятилетиями и передаются из поколения в поколение.
  • В Swatch Group есть компания под названием EM Microelectronic, которая является поставщиком компонентов для многих производителей умных браслетов – Garmin, например, – а также для производителей смартфонов, название которых я не могу разглашать.

  • Наши умные часы Swatch Touch Zero One появятся на рынке летом. Oни ориентированы на людей, увлекающихся пляжным волейболом:
  • Например, часы можно будет использовать как электронный пропуск для входа в офис
  • Наш следующий продукт, который должен появиться в конце лета, – Swatch NFC: часы, с помощью которых можно будет осуществлять платежи. Мы ведем переговоры с Visa, MasterCard и китайской UnionPay.
  • Следом появятся новые версии Swatch Touch: Zero Two, Zero Three, Zero Four, ориентированные на другие виды спорта – серфинг, горные лыжи, – и не только на спорт, но, например, на кулинарию. А часы Swatch Touch Zero Six, возможно, будут называться «Камасутра». Эти часы считают, сколько калорий вы сжигаете в какой позиции и нужно ли вам менять вашего партнера.
  • А чип часов пользователь сможет конфигурировать сам под собственные потребности.
  • Философия очень проста: это часы-ключ, мы сознательно не стали делать в них дисплей, поскольку дисплеи и так нас окружают повсюду.
  • Сейчас умные часы можно снабдить любыми функциями, но вам придется снимать их с руки и подзаряжать в лучшем случае раз в день.
  • Плюс такие часы открыты для рекламы.
  • А вы хотите получать сообщения от каждой близлежащей пиццерии, что у них для вас спецпредложение?
