随着可穿戴技术在Google Glass(Google Glass)和Smartwatches发布后势头强劲，您可能想了解该技术演变的历史。这不是可穿戴计算机设备的历史。相反，它以十大失败的电子产品的形式向您展示了过去的一瞥。我们目前的大多数可穿戴设备都是在这些失败的设备上完成的工作的产物。
失败的可穿戴电子小工具(Electronic Gadgets)和设备
该列表主要包括可穿戴电子设备当我们在这里时，一个问题：可穿戴设备是否会危害健康？(Are wearable gadgets, a health risk?)
谷歌眼镜(Google Glass)已经失败(Flop Already)了吗？我听说人们不想在外出时穿它，因为它不方便。然后有关于在公共场所和驾驶时使用它的法律。你对谷歌眼镜的看法是什么——(Google Glasses –)喜欢还是已经失败了？我还没有对此发表评论。
- Pomo 可穿戴电脑：(Pomo Wearable Computer:) 漂亮(Nice)的时尚设计；可以(Could)比当今的智能手机执行有限的计算；问题(Problem)是电线挂在身上。
- Nike Fuel Band： 应该(Was)测量你每天的运动量。它应该连接到耐克的网站并为您提供数据。它与其他应用程序不兼容，有时也不准确。2014年4 月(April 2014)，该公司决定放弃其构建的所有硬件，只专注于软件产品——主要是智能手机应用程序等。
- Galaxy Gear：必须与手机配对；没有多少应用程序可以让人们保持参与；有传言称Galaxy将推出不需要手机配对的高级版本。
- 蓝牙耳机：(Bluetooth Headsets:) 刚(Saw)推出时急剧上升，但后来由于配对问题和无法捕捉手机中的其他声音（音频文件）导致下降；随着苹果(Apple)推出白色耳塞，蓝牙(Bluetooth)用户下降得非常快。
- 虚拟现实耳机：(Virtual Reality Headsets:)这是在Oculus Rift出现之前。你可以看到沉重的耳机，到处都是电线。据说图像不清晰；这款设备衰落的主要原因是 Oculus 的产品不依赖电线，而且比这些虚拟现实耳机(Reality Headsets)轻得多。
- Jawbone UP： Jawbone UP(Jawbone UP)是一个重大失败。它应该系在手腕上并计算您完成的工作（燃烧的卡路里）但是同步存在问题。另一个主要问题是，如果没有图像中看到的插孔，您就无法将腕带连接到手机。也许未来的版本可能会引入无线版本，因为通过耳机连接的需求使其成为旧技术。
- 华为Talkband：(Huawei Talkband:)这是一款可以戴在手腕上的蓝牙耳机组合。(Bluetooth)也被(Was)称为智能手环(SmartBand)，因为它还会告知您睡眠、卡路里等信息。有(Had)不同的金属或塑料按钮来告诉它您正在开始做某事，例如睡觉。还(Would)可以通过振动您的手腕直到您醒来作为闹钟！失败，因为它没有提供准确的数据。它错过了一些活动；用户必须使用有线连接连接到智能手机以获取数据。
- Masunaga 眨眼眼镜：(Masunaga Wink Glasses:)这些眼镜是为那些在计算时忘记眨眼的人设计的。如果您长时间不眨眼，其中一个镜片会起雾以缓解那只眼睛。眼镜还有传感器，如果你在电脑上打瞌睡，它会注意到并把你叫醒。由于缺乏适当的推广， Wink Glasses未能起飞。而且，成本太高了，大约300美元。
- MSN Direct 智能手表：(MSN Direct Smartwatch:)虽然还没有完全退出市场，但微软(Microsoft)的智能手表是基于小型个人物品技术(Small Personal Objects Technology)，也称为SPOT。智能手表将直接连接到互联网(Internet)，为您提供有关天气、股票等的数据。微软(Microsoft)希望每月收取 60 美元的服务费，这对于转向智能手机的用户来说太高了。
- Qualcomm Toq Smartwatch：它失败的原因是它的价格……否则它是一款具有不同输入类型的好设备，尤其是语音输入；对于发送SMS，您可以使用语音转文本（需要一点练习）；此外，它会根据您的语音命令从互联网(Internet)上提取信息；该公司将其定价为 350 美元的高价；它失败的另一个原因是它只支持Android。
正如我所提到的，这不是一个完整的列表。如果您建议我错过的其他一些小工具（包括此处），则可以增加此 10 大失败电子产品（可穿戴）的列表。

Top 10 failed Electronic Gadgets and Devices (Wearable)
With wearable technology gaining momentum after the announcement оf Google Glass and Smartwatches, you might want tо know the histоry of thе technology morphed. This is nоt a history of wеarable cоmputer ware. Instead, it showѕ yоu glimpses from the past in the form of the top 10 failed electronic gadgets. Most of our current wearable gadgets are products of work done оn these floрped devices.
Failed Wearable Electronic Gadgets and Devices
The list includes mostly wearable electronic gadgets While we are here, a question: Are wearable gadgets, a health risk?
Is Google Glass a Flop Already? I’ve heard people do not want to wear it while going out as it is inconvenient. Then there are laws to be made regarding its usage in public places and while driving. What is your view on Google Glasses – liked or already a flop? I am not commenting on it yet.
- Pomo Wearable Computer: Nice sleek design; Could perform limited computing less than the smartphones of today; Problem was wires hanging all over the body.
- Nike Fuel Band: Was supposed to measure the amount of exercise you did every day. It was supposed to be connected to Nike’s website and give you data. It was not compatible with other apps and was not accurate at times. In April 2014, the company decided to drop all the hardware it built, to focus only on the software products – essentially apps for smartphones and all.
- Galaxy Gear: Had to be paired with a phone; Not many apps were available to keep people engaged; It is rumored that Galaxy will come up with an advanced version that won’t require phone pairing.
- Bluetooth Headsets: Saw a steep rise when launched But then, pairing problems and not being able to catch other sounds from the mobile phone (audio files) led to decline; With Apple launching its white earbuds, the users of Bluetooth declined very fast.
- Virtual Reality Headsets: This was before the Oculus Rift came in. You can see the heavy headset with wires all over. Images were supposedly not clear; The main reason behind the decline of this device was that Oculus’ products do not rely on wires and are way much lighter than these Virtual Reality Headsets.
- Jawbone UP: The Jawbone UP was a major flop. It was supposed to be tied on the wrist and count your work done (calories burned) However there were problems with syncing. Another major problem was that you could not connect the wristband to the phone without the jack you see in the image. Maybe a future version may bring in a wireless version because the need for connecting via headset makes it old technology.
- Huawei Talkband: This was a combo of Bluetooth headsets that could be worn around the wrist. Was also called SmartBand as it would also inform you about sleep, calories, etc. Had different metal or plastic buttons to tell it that you are starting something, such as going to sleep. Would also work as an alarm by vibrating your wrist until you wake up! Failed as it did not provide accurate data. It missed out on some activities; Users had to use a wired connection to connect to smartphones for obtaining the data.
- Masunaga Wink Glasses: These glasses were for people who forgot to blink while computing. If you don’t blink for a longer time, one of the lenses would fog up to provide relief to that eye. The glasses also have sensors that would notice if you dozed off working on the computer and would wake you up. The Wink Glasses failed to take off due to a lack of proper promotion. Also, the cost was too high, around $300.
- MSN Direct Smartwatch: Though not completely out of the market, the smartwatch from Microsoft was based on Small Personal Objects Technology, also known as SPOT. The smartwatch would connect directly to the Internet to bring you data regarding weather, stocks, etc. Microsoft wanted to charge $60 per month for the services which was too much for the users who turned to smartphones.
- Qualcomm Toq Smartwatch: The reason it flopped was its price… otherwise it is a good device with different types of inputs, especially – voice input; For sending SMS, you could use speech-to-text (Needs a little practice); Besides it would pull up information from Internet based on your voice commands; The company priced it at a high amount of $350; Another reason it flopped is that it supports only Android.
As I mentioned, this is not a comprehensive list. This list of top 10 failed electronic gadgets (wearable) can be increased if you suggest some other gadgets that I missed including here.
