The proliferation of smartphones and their rapidly expanding connectivity capabilities have given rise to a host of new wearable devices. The potential of wearables continues to grow, offering convenient real-time information tracking, personal health, interactive gaming, navigation, and performance monitoring. Dragon Well has the deep and broad capabilities, technology, and expertise to develop cutting-edge solutions for this innovative market.
Wearable technology is one of the most innovative areas in personal electronics, with the potential to provide solutions for a wide range of applications. These devices come in a variety of forms, including the latest watches and smart clothing. They offer consumers new ways to interact with technology, whether for convenient transportation, improved lifestyles, or access to life-saving medical services.
Designers of the next generation of wearables will help us redefine our understanding of mobile devices. As advances in flexible circuits and micro-components add smart functionality to everyday clothing and devices, the line between clothing and technology is beginning to blur.
In this competitive market, designers need to continuously develop innovative solutions to attract customers. This means manufacturers must maintain a rapid cadence of new product releases, with no more than 12 months between each generation.
Wearables are taking on new roles in applications such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), and designers face complex challenges in providing customers with the latest features. These devices require more processing power and faster communication speeds, which requires more performance from sensors to batteries. At the same time, users expect such rich functionality to be packed into smaller and slimmer form factors.
Designers need to work with companies that can deliver products that can drive competitive advantage in the next generation of wearables. As more components are packed into smaller spaces, connectors play an important role in protecting signal integrity and minimizing the effects of heat. Designers must also be aware of the hazards of EMI (electromagnetic interference) to the operation of such small devices, especially under the stringent requirements of medical applications.
These features are already being used in the lifestyle and leisure industries, and their potential continues to grow. With 30 years of experience and technology working closely with the world’s leading brands to develop breakthrough micro connectors such as the Quad Row Connector, Dragon Well is able to support customers in creating cutting-edge solutions for this dynamic market.
