Smartwatches came to the market thanks to the defunct Pebble, a company that he did not know how to adapt to the new generations of smartwatches and that it was finally bought by Fitbit, to be able to make use of all the patents and technology that they had in their name but were not knowing how to take advantage of.
After the Pebble, they started to arrive the first smartwatches with a color and touch screen. The problem that many users face is the small screen size, with which it is sometimes not possible to interact, although after having tried several models as is my case, you end up getting used to it. If screen size is important to you, LumiWatch may be the smartwatch you are looking for.
Many have been the concepts that have been appearing on the market in recent years, concepts that show us the interface of our smartphone reflected on our forearm. Carnegie Mellon University has created a prototype of what could be the first smartwatch with a laser projector, a projector that would be in charge of displaying the interface on our forearm to be able to interact with it in a much easier way than we do so far with current models.
The LumiWatch integrates into 15 lumens laser projector, brightness more than enough to be able to show the interface of the device and interact with it. Inside, we find a 740 mAh battery (much higher than that offered by today's smartwatches), along with a 4 GHz Qualcomm 1,2-core processor, 768 MB of RAM and 4 GB of memory. internal. It also has a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection. According to the Carnegie Mellon University team, this prototype could have a market price of $ 600, double the price at which we can find most of the most popular models on the market.
