Smartwatches, Wearable Electronics and Electronics Incorporated into Apparel Begin to Enter the Marketplace

While Google Glass was a big newsmaker for its wearable electronics, many other interesting products are entering the market that may have strong appeal to consumers. This trend will build rapidly as the price of chips and components, such as highly sensitive motion sensors, has plummeted, and some devices will offer true convenience as well as a cool factor. Researchers at major labs, including PARC and Intel, are deeply involved in exploring the potential of electronics integrated into shoes, jackets, shirts, belts, gloves, wristbands or watches, eye glasses, hats and more. The integration of custom designed mobile apps, created specifically for wearable electronics, will become widespread. The sweeping and inexpensive availability of Bluetooth, cellular networks, Wi-Fi and cloud-based databases will enhance this trend.

Hoodies (hooded sweatshirts) with earphones built in to the hoods are offered by Hoodie Buddie and sold on Amazon and other outlets. The Hoodie Buddie has a standard headphone jack that plugs into any headphone-compatible device, like an MP3 music player, iPod or iPhone. The sound travels through the Hoodie Buddie and into the built in headphones at the end of the hood’s drawstrings. It is machine washable in cold water, including the headphones.
