Ama-Smartwatches eza emakethe ngenxa yePebble engasasebenzi, inkampani wayengazi ukuthi angajwayela kanjani izizukulwane ezintsha zama-smartwatches nokuthi ekugcineni ithengwe ngabakwaFitbit, ukuze bakwazi ukusebenzisa wonke amalungelo obunikazi nobuchwepheshe ababenabo egameni labo kepha bengazi ukuthi bangakusebenzisa kanjani.
Ngemuva kweTshana, baqala ukufika ama-smartwatches okuqala anombala nesikrini sokuthinta. Inkinga abasebenzisi abaningi ababhekana nayo ngusayizi omncane wesikrini, okungenzeki kwesinye isikhathi ukuhlangana, yize ngemuva kokuzama amamodeli amaningi njengoba kunjalo kimi, ugcina usujwayela. Uma usayizi wesibuko ubalulekile kuwe, iLumiWatch kungaba yi-smartwatch oyifunayo.
Iningi kube yimibono ebilokhu ivela emakethe eminyakeni yamuva nje, imiqondo ekhombisa ukuthi isikhombimsebenzisi se-smartphone yethu ibonakaliswe engalweni yethu. ICarnegie Mellon University idale isibonelo salokho okungaba okokuqala i-smartwatch esine-laser projector, i-projektha ezobe iphethe ukubonisa isikhombimsebenzisi engalweni yethu ukuze sikwazi ukuxhumana nayo ngendlela elula kakhulu kunalokho esikwenzayo kuze kube manje ngamamodeli wamanje.
ILumiWatch iyahlangana ibe I-15 lumens laser projektha, ukukhanya okungaphezu kokwenele ukukwazi ukubonisa isikhombimsebenzisi sedivayisi nokuxhumana nayo. Ngaphakathi, sithola ibhethri engu-740 mAh (ephakeme kakhulu kunaleyo enikezwa ama-smartwatches anamuhla), kanye ne-4 GHz Qualcomm 1,2-core processor, i-768 MB ye-RAM ne-4 GB yememori. Ibuye ibe nokuxhumeka kwe-Bluetooth ne-Wi-Fi. Ngokusho kwethimba leCarnegie Mellon University, le prototype ingaba nentengo yemakethe ka- $ 600, okuphindwe kabili kunentengo esingathola kuyo amamodeli athandwa kakhulu emakethe.
