Almost a year ago, Google launched its Android Wear. Today, Android Wear's product manager, Jeff Chang, is announcing some big changes of its Google's Smartwatch according to a news article in Wired. So far, the coolest modification allows people to use their smartwatch even if they're at a distance from their phones. Chang and his team have been constantly working to further improve the platform's interactivity, for Google to quickly show up the info you need, while keeping Android Wear watches elegantly simple and clean.
In terms of Google accounts- its voice activation and notifications- Brown, asserts that "Notifications push at you." Toph Brown, a Ustwo's New York office producer, worked on developing the guidelines for the new API. Having to choose in the matter is the key difference. "They're not something you ask for, necessarily," he added. Just like an attentive waiter, Google's Smartwatch is there, waiting for your commands.
As reported in Wired.com, developers have the absolute freedom to push the limits of interactivity. Users should really look forward to 'deeper on-face experiences' which will pop up as well as blur the line between 'watch face' and app even more. Users will get to see loads of experiences such as Bits, which live in Google's Smartwatch 'no-man's land'. These Bits are neither apps nor static faces; however, if these half-apps are designed well, you'll figure out the real value of a smartwatch.
The first update is merely an invitation for experimentation says Brown. Up until you can see how people make use of the feature, it's pretty much difficult to claim how much interaction a certain user expects. "We're still asking what is uniquely valuable about wearables. "And we think that adding tap to a watch is a step in the right direction of understanding a little bit more about how these things are useful to people," Brown concluded.
