Yesterday, Google took the wraps off Android Wear which is a version of their Android operating system designed to work on smartwatches. The whole idea is to bring Google Now functionality to your wrist. That way you don’t have to whip out your phone to do voice based operations and deal with notifications.
Here’s a video that shows what you can expect from Android Wear:
Asus, HTC, LG, Intel, Qualcomm, Motorola and Fossil have all signed on to create chips and smartwatches that leverage Android Wear. Developers can jump into the deep end now as Google has also released a developer preview as well. The first watches powered by Android Wear should appear later this year.
