Over the recent years, one of the world’s fastest growing trends is the use of the smart phone. The smart phone was made to actually put your world in the palm of your hands. Through your smart phone you get to stay connected with your office, your home and your social life wherever you are in the world. It has become so much a part of a person’s life that one simply cannot function without it.
The downside of smart phones however, is that they tend to be a bit too distracting. With your phone ringing and alerting you with calls and messages, it becomes a bit too difficult to concentrate on your tasks. This is the reason why the creative geniuses of today have come up with the idea to manufacture wearable technology. These are actually electronics that you can wear and you can incorporate into your outfits and accessories. One such technology is called smartearrings.
Welcome to the world of smartearrings
You have probably experienced the onslaught of wearable technology like smart watches, smart glasses, smart cufflinks and other wearable electronics. However, computer designers have made a stronger effort to miniaturize wearable smart-tech. They have become so small that that you can now wear it on your ear through an exciting new product called the smartearring.
Do not be disappointed by the smart watches and other bulky and unattractive smart jewelry that are quite popular these days. The world of fashion has come to the rescue and have combined their powers with the world of technology. Wearable technology is now actually wearable. From chic and stylish cuff links with readable screens, to thin metallic rings and bejeweled necklaces, more and more women are now scrambling to get their hands on some fashionable electronics.
So what can the smartearring actually do for you? This tiny yet powerful device will not just light up your face as it dazzles and sparkles, it also makes your life so much more convenient. It embraces an innovative technology called earclip-type wearable computer. It is fitted with a tiny infrared sensors that actually read your facial movements and interpret them into commands. For example, you can raise your eyebrow, blink your eye or clench your teeth and you will be able to interact with the small computer attached to your ear. This frees up your hand for other more important matters. Now that’s multi-tasking at its finest.
The creators of the smartearring also embedded a tiny gadget that weighs only 17 grams and functions as a gyro-sensor, a speaker, microphone, GPS compass and data chip. This data chip stores all your user apps and it communicates directly with your smart phone. Thanks to the amazing powers of Bluetooth, the smartearring can also function as a control device for other smart jewelry.
If you are a fitness junkie and you love wearing those fit bracelets, you may adore the smartearring even more. According to researchers, these in-ear devices have the power to take more accurate biometric measurements. This makes it more beneficial for those who are highly dependent on their wearable technology for health and fitness applications.
If you are music lover, the smartearring also allows you to control your songs and playlists using its simple voice command capability.
There are probably a hundred different reasons to fall in love with the smartearring for all its functions. However, what makes it truly unique is that it is a fashion statement in itself.
Dressing up with the smartearring
Unfortunatley, the technology is still in its infantile stage. The technology is currently being developed and is in serious need of a high fashion touch. Japanese researchers are currently testing an ‘earclip type wearable PC’ which may eventually evolve into smartearrings. As you can see from the video clip below, they are far from fashionable at this point in time.
Sometime in the future, we do not expect these earrings to be oversized and robotic looking pieces of metal. The world of fashion is going to have to step up their game and make sure to create fashion forward pieces that every person would love to incorporate into her daily wardrobe.
In the future, Smartearrings will come in a wide variety of styles and designs. We hope that they will be so extraordinary, that you wouldn’t have any clue that they are Bluetooth enabled and that they contain a minuscule data chip inside. Ultimately, you hopefully can step out in style with these fashionable electronics and no one would be able to tell that you are actually controlling your music or you’re communicating with your smart phone via this fantastic ear piece.
Nowadays, wearable technology have not just become wearable, they have also become fashionable. This is what you call a true marriage between aesthetics and technology and between form and function.
