Wearable Devices: The Next “Smart” Platform</strong><br>
<strong>When</strong>: Tuesday, January 17, 2011<br>
<strong>6:00pm - 7:00pm:</strong> Networking and Refreshments<br>
<strong>7:00pm - 8:30pm: </strong>Panel Discussion and Q&A<br>
<br>
New open compute platforms are coming, with profound implications
for devices with a screen and the companies that make them.
Leveraging the Smartphone ecosystem and Moore’s Law, entrepreneurs
are creating a new class of devices. These devices, built as general
purpose compute platforms, are cheap enough and small enough to
disrupt legacy closed, single function devices. <br>
<br>
Start-ups and giant global companies like Sony Ericsson and Motorola
have identified the wrist, or the Smart Watch, as the primary
application to launch these new platforms. The Smart Watch is only
the starting point, a beachfront for this opportunity. <br>
<br>
Can the market for wearable devices expand beyond the wrist. Will a
minimal interface, “Glance”, become a break-through, like
multi-touch? Will Wearable Devices spawn an ecosystem of
entrepreneurs building new Apps and services? <br>
<br>
We explore these questions, plus the challenges of start-ups
creating the Wearable Platforms.
