Why do you still walk to your eyes and you can reach your destination? A double wing decorative leather made by British artist Dominic Wilcox. shoes That's what we can do. Inspired by the little red shoes Dorothea wore in Wizard of Oz, Wilcox The global positioning microchip is installed on this pair of leather shoes. When the heel touches, the microchip is activated. If the user uploads the selected destination through the USB interface, the LED light of the left heel will point to the destination, and at the same time, the right shoe also receives information through wireless data transmission. "Technology is not going all the way, it's just putting something on the shoes to make it more useful," Wilcox said. He is consulting with several companies to bring these shoes to market next year.

However, the invention of Wilcox may not be equivalent to the appearance of a rare article or a microfilm model in the gallery. Low sensors and LED components have led technology giants and new enterprises to compete. Wearable Products can track where you are and what you see and feel. At the end of the day, Intel hopes to have 3-5 wearing products for sensitive components and computers. Chip manufacturers are preparing to apply a new series of processors to small devices, such as smart watches. Through the negotiation of Intel investment team, Intel decided to invest in Canada's Recon Instruments, a smart eyeglasses developer who made helmets for athletes. As part of its push to wearable products, Intel has also stolen inspiration from Nike and Oakley. "We want to see that people are wearable products all over the body," said Mike Penn, the presupposition director of Intel Research Institute.

According to Shane Walker, an analyst with HIS global insight, wearable devices can connect to Internet applications or mobile phones or tablet computers. Its sales will increase from 8 billion 600 million dollars last year to nearly 30 billion US dollars in 2018.

Just as people put Wearable products The focus is on famous companies such as Google glasses and the apple concept music watch Iwatch. Headquartered in San Francisco Innovalley It claims to have authorized the company's Wilcox GPS shoes to Puma, Germany. At the same time, it is working with Spanish Telecom to create a motorcycle helmet that can connect smart phones, which can alert the police and their relatives when the user is in an accident.

Heapsylon, a new company based in Redmond, Washington, will launch a new T-shirt with heart rate monitoring function. Sports underwear 。 The new underwear will enter the market at the end of the year and will be sold at the price of $59 per piece. David Viganeo, CEO of Heapsylon, commented that "this underwear is comfortable and washable, and can provide real-time data."

However, other companies in the field of wearable devices do not pay attention to the functionality of wearable products, but pay more attention to the novelty of products. Studio Roosegaarde, a studio with subsidiaries in Holland and China, introduces a long dress called "intimacy". This long skirt is made of material. Leatherwear And smart e metal picks that will gradually change colors with weak currents. Once the long skirts feel the wearer's heart rate, the metal part slowly becomes transparent. Dan Rosygd, founder of Studio Roosegaarde, said he had sold several such skirts to private art collectors and received orders from boutiques. He said: "we have always adhered to the idea that technology can get out of the computer screen and make it part of people's lives."

A long transparent skirt is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and many people can't afford it. To this end, the British fashion company CuteCircuit launched a LED mini skirt. This skirt can be changed through Apple phone apps, especially during festivals. CuteCircuit Creative director Francesca Rosella said: "we live in the era of digitalization, and fashion is in the crevice of this era." Francesca Rosella's company has designed stage for singers Katy Perry and U2 band. clothing 。

To make this kind of Clothes & Accessories It is impossible to enter Messi store or Nodes Tron as soon as possible and occupy the leading position in the clothing counter. Because there is one drawback of electronic products, that is, the electronic clothing will be short circuited in the dryer, explained Jennifer Darmour, a wearable product consultant at Artefact, Seattle. Power and battery life is still an insurmountable obstacle. It will take several years for the manufacturer to manufacture this high-tech garment in large quantities. Darmour said, "think of the emergence of brick phones a few years ago, and we know that we have a long way to go before we enter the iPhone era."
