The erstwhile unglamorous battery may find its place in the limelight in the near future. Wearable technology like bracelets which can monitor physical movements, wearable glasses and clothing with in-built sensors all use the battery technology, and are hailed to be the next big technology revolution, experts say. Forrester Research of the US conducted a study in which 5% of the people said that they use some form of wearable device that monitors movement. Of all the people who participated in the research, 28% said that they use wearable computers on their wrists, and 29% said they clip on wearable devices on to their clothing. 12% of the participants said that they were interested in trying out the wearable glasses.
All this wearable computer technology runs on battery, and giving it a technological shot in the arm hold the key to the next big revolution in the field of technology.
The wearable computing technology however is still in a nascent stage, somewhat how smartphones were in the mid-2000s. Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook expressed hope in the wearable technology revolution, saying that this area was ripe for exploration and it is only a matter of time before this technology takes off.
Many people are of the opinion that this technology will become widespread and popular only when Apple patronizes it. Forrester analyst Sarah Rotmanis of the view that Apple is the entity that creates the market by introducing a device, and it is Apple devices that set the stage for others to start developing similar technology.
The race for introducing the next big wearable technology device has started, with Apple and Samsung working on developing the smartwatch. Google on the other hand is working on Glass, a wearable headgearcomputer, which can perform various tasks for you without you having to move your hands.
