That technology has no limits is a statement that is really true, especially in recent years, in which we have been able to witness the almost endless advance of computer technology applied to the most diverse scientific fields, let alone technology applied to the daily life of individuals.
And as this technology in permanent advance, in order to respond to the increasingly complex needs of users, has been becoming something everyday, it has also begun to look for the most appropriate formats to give the user devices that complement the objects used. in your daily routine.
This is how the field of so-called “Wearables” , also known as wearable devices, has become more than fertile ground for many companies, and especially for Google, which has seen success with its innovative Google Glass.
Along this same path, the Google company recently announced the launch of a new platform, called Android Wear, which means that in a short time, users will be able to dress in the fashion of Android, so the slogan it uses has not been wrong the company to promote its new Android Wear, which reads “The information that moves with you.”
Now, how does this Android Wear work? In general terms, it is basically a system that is divided into two different tools, ContextStream and Cue Cards , which are mainly based on the use of smart cards, in the same way that Google Now does, with some differences.
Of course, to understand what has been said, it is also important that we know what ContextStream and Cue Cards consist of , which we will explain below.
ContextStream
In principle, it should be noted that ContextStream is the part of the system that focuses on warning the user about the changes that occur, that is, any notification received on the smartphone is immediately shown on the SmartWatch that we wear in the form of a small card .
Of course, for it to work you need to connect your Android phone and keep it in sync with your smartwatch.
It is important to bear in mind that on the smart watch it is only possible to view the notification cards one by one, however browsing through these cards is undoubtedly one of the best aspects of the experience provided by the system.
Cue Cards
In this case, we could say that Cue Cards complements the functionality of the ContextStream tasks, since it is basically used to enter into the equipment those data that the latter cannot predict, such as the configuration of an alarm, the annotation of a reminder, or perform a search.
In addition, and no less important, is that Android Wear includes support for using voice commands, which means that all the options offered by Cue Cards can be used and configured through our own voice, activating this functionality with just say aloud the phrase “Ok, Google”, which will allow us to access a list of available commands.
Waiting
Surely, more than one Android user is eager to use this new platform, of course we must await the arrival of the Google watch in all world markets.
It is also important to mention that the platform is still under development.
We will then have to wait to see.
