Wearable devices are still in short supply, but the demand for them is huge
Wearable technology may be in a state of infancy, but the market is maturing at a rapid pace. The demand for wearable devices is on the rise and many people are expressing their eagerness to purchasing upcoming products from companies like Google. This demand has been highlighted by the recent launch of Amazon’s Wearable Technology Store in the United Kingdom. The store has shown that many people have an interest in wearable devices, even though a relatively small number of these devices are currently available to them.
People are eager to get their hands on new wearable devices
Even in a state of infancy, wearable devices are somewhat advanced. Google Glass, for instance, uses augmented reality technology to enhance the physical world with digital displays. The device can be controlled with a person’s voice, simple head gestures, or with a control panel. Google has yet to announce an official release date for Glass, but the company did recently announced that it would make Glass available in the United Kingdom.
Amazon may become a very influential figure in the new technology market
Amazon’s Wearable Technology Store currently has more than 100 wearable devices listed from various companies. The store exists one of the very few platforms that cater to the interests of those that have a fascination in wearable technology. Amazon may prove to be a very powerful figure in this emerging market, especially as more wearable devices see release in the coming years and the demand for these devices begins to explode.
Wearable devices are yet another stepping stone toward more integrated technology
Technology has come to play a major role in society as a whole. The advent of smartphones began people’s rapidly growing reliance on mobile technology and this reliance has evolved into an aggressive interest in new technology that can become more integrated in daily life. Wearable devices seem to satisfy this interest by allowing people to become more integrated with technology. This technology also helps make the features of smartphones and tablets offer a little more convenient.
In the U.S., 54% of respondents to the survey believed that small businesses could benefit from mobile and digital commerce. If mobile payments were easier, more businesses throughout the country may benefit, as cash flow would become smoother and somewhat more reliable. Mobile consumers are a large demographic that is growing quickly. These consumers account for a great deal of commerce potential, but relatively few businesses are engaging these consumers in an effective manner.
