Saxe added that consumers would prefer to have a battery life of 3-6 months with wearables that merely use sensors to report the data to a smartphone. But today wearables are just being used by early adopters, for the market to really take off he said we need to have the battery/power issue solved to have wider adoption.
"The top issues depend on whether the developer is thinking of a wearable device without a display, or one with a display. For devices without a display the top challenge is how to get really, really long battery life. The goal seems to be six months minimum, with one year preferred. For devices with a display the challenge is control and people want non-touch ways to control the device. How to make this 'intuitive' i.e. convenient, repeatable and easily discoverable, is an emerging area so people have lots of ideas and need to quickly try them out and refine them," said Saxe.
QUIK, thanks in advance for the wider adoption ;-)
