Wearable devices are becoming more common. Most of these devices have very limited uses, with some existing only to keep track of how many steps a person has taken in a short amount of time. More ambitious devices are beginning to enter the market, but whether or not these devices will find any success is suspect. Many people are showing interest in wearable technology, but this does not mean that these people will be using these devices on a daily basis.

Currently, one of the major selling points of wearable devices is that they can simply do what smartphones already do, but better. Smartphones are quite capable of doing anything a pair of augmented reality glasses or a smartwatch can do. These devices have been equipped with features that are considered “new” to the field of wearable technology for years. While some wearable devices may be able to outshine smartphones, they can only manage to do so by having a very specific focus on a particular purpose. Smartphones, however, are not restricted to a singular focus and can do many things very effectively.

Wearable devices may have very limited market appeal. Because they do not actually offer something new, apart from how a person uses a mobile device, they may be a hard sell to consumers. Many people are happy to use their smartphones and tablets in public, and these devices have become something of a fashion accessory for people everywhere. Wearable devices do not have the same appeal currently. Augmented reality glasses, for instance, are not designed with appearance in mind. As such, those interested in such devices may shy away from using them because of how they look, and how these devices will make them look in public.

Wearable technology does have a future, but what that future looks like is difficult to say for certain. In the early days of mobile technology, there was uncertainty regarding how popular mobile phones would be. Wearables may well be the next smartphone, if they can manage to overcome some of the challenges that they will experience in society.

The Chinese electronics and technology company has now revealed that it has its own wearable technology prototype.

The largest PC manufacturer in the world has now unveiled a prototype version of augmented reality glasses, which shows that the company is on its way to producing a wearable technology device that will place it in competition with Google Glass.

This AR headset functions with a type of necklace like band to enhance the life of the battery.

Lenovo, which is based in China, has unveiled the prototype of this device , which is a version of a wearable computer that bears somewhat of a resemblance to Google Glass, in that it is a headset that sits on the face in a way that is similar to eyeglasses. As is the case with the best known device in the augmented reality glasses category, the prototype appears to have a tiny screen – a small acrylic prism – onto which images are projected. That display is placed in front of the right eye of the wearer.

These augmented reality glasses also contain a unit that houses processors and memory chips on the right arm.

While that feature does help to improve the performance of the device, in the prototype, its right arm looked rather bulky as a result of the addition. The primary difference, in a visual sense, between the Lenovo AR glasses and the Google Glass is the battery pack which hangs around the back of the neck of the wearer, with a blue wire connecting it to the main device.

Other than the actual overall appearance, there wasn’t much in terms of detail that was provided along with the unveiling of the device. That said, Lenovo has said that it will make a new series of announcements about what can be expected from this wearable technology, in October.

The prototype augmented reality glasses are one element of the NBD project at Lenovo, which is focused on the production of a range of different internet connected devices, such as fridges and toasters, and even air purifiers that are controllable through the use of a smartphone.
