Case Study
Wireless Wearable Solutions
The next era of computing will be worn. Glasses, shirts, jewelry: They will all do amazing things in the realm of insight and personal metrics - and look good doing it.
Challenges
Beyond changing our lives, wearables are impacting many industries and have raised the bar for quality and experience in consumer devices. Wearables involve new requirements for components in terms of miniaturization, rugged design, aesthetics, sensor integration, and more. The small form factor in particular presents a challenge to companies trying to put all components together in a smaller, slimmer, and smarter wearable device.
In the meantime, companies have started integrating metal to create fashionable pieces that look and feel like typical watches and jewelry. While bumping wearables into the realm of fashionable accessories, metallic housings block wireless signals (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, or other radio signals), creating a new challenge for device manufacturers.
