App developers see wearable devices as latest thing
Wearable computers like Google Glass as well as the Samsung Galaxy Gear watch may not have caught fire yet, but that hasn stopped mobile game developers from rushing to produce apps for the new devices, wanting to seize the things they hope could be the next big moment in consumer technology.Niccolo DeMasi, the CEO of mobile games maker Glu Mobile, blogs about the potential of wearables to that of Apple Inc iPhone launch in 2007 a celebration that was the catalyst to produce much of the mobile app world that exists now.DeMasi and others are betting that by developing compelling apps made with the wearables special features planned, they can create overwhelming requirement for the products."A completely new app ecosystem will likely be born," said Shawn Hardin, founder of Mind Pirate, that can release "Global Food Fight," its first game for Google Glass, this month. "Those who're going to make that occur in a big way will be valuable companies for doing this, and those who wait past too far won take part in it."The industry for mobile game apps is predicted to grow to $17 billion in 2010 from just $6 billion really, analysts said, and wearables could fuel rise in the years in the future.An array of new smartwatches and devices like fitness tracker Fitbit will go on display immediately at the Electronics Show (CES) in Vegas, heralding a potential breakthrough for your devices in 2014.Google Glass is anticipated to launch broadly sometime this year. So far, its user testing version merely has been offered by a $1,500 price about 15,000 developers and consumers who registered to become part of its early adopter program.Galaxy Gear smartwatches from Samsung have garnered mixed reviews since their September launch, and consumers have not warmed in their mind yet.In spite of the slow start, Juniper Research expects a lot more than 130 million smart wearable devices will ship by 2018. Moreover, global shipments of wearable "smart glasses" alone will reach 10 million each year by 2018, weighed against an estimated 87,000 in 2013, based on the research firm.Wearable computer systems basically be mini computers, mainly strapped on the user wrist or face, though they might end up being worn on other parts of the body, too. In developing apps for the children, programmers will concentrate on their voice command features as well as GPS, gyroscope, compass and WiFi capabilities. Apps for further conventional cellular phones, by contrast, mostly use their touchscreen technology interface.Fun and gamesGlu wanted to get a jump on its rivals by setting up a word puzzle game called "Spellista" for the prototype of Google Inc Glass.Because Glass allows automatically experiences, Spellista gameplay relies upon voice commands and head movements that actually work with the device gyroscope. With voice commands, a gamer can snap pictures on its 5 megapixel camera and create word puzzles to see friends.Another distinct feature of Glass is the place where it transmits sound. Ray Ban outlet With Spellista, an end user hears the sport tutorial through sound vibrations traveling from the skull behind the ear as opposed to traditional speakers. That lets the user simultaneously hear ambient sound.Over 2,000 developers, including Glu, get the programming code and tools needed to design apps for Glass.With Mind Pirate app, "Global Food Fight," the Silicon Valley startup wants to Ray Ban sunglasses demonstrate that wearable products are well suited for "micro engagement" or 30 to 90 second game sessions.The 3 dimensional app is ideal for multiple players. Gamers are able to use head movements and taps about the Glass touchpad to virtually hurl tomatoes or gooey pies at one another and build obstacle courses to assist them dodge hits."You could lay on a train and launch a food fight using voice commands, as well as be having fun with multiple people" who might be virtually anywhere, Hardin explained.Mind Pirate provides an incubator program, providing resources to four developers to be effective on games and apps for Glass and also other wearable computing devices in partnership with the Canadian Film Centre, a Toronto based film training institute.Timothy Jordan, senior developer advocate for Google Glass, said the sport concepts that developers develop need to be path breaking."If something is successful on another platform and also you stamp it cheap Ray Ban Wayfarer on Glass, you performing it wrong," he was quoted saying.Games and apps have often popularized new hardware, assisting to familiarize consumers with the technology. Rovio Angry Birds demonstrated the iPhone easy swipe and touch features, and also the card game Solitaire made using the mouse on Microsoft Corp Windows operating software seem intuitive."It early days in wearables, however would be unsurprised if 2017 to 2027 turns out to be a great Ten year wave for all those wearable computing, if it watches something like that like Glass," DeMasi said.Companies like Qualcomm Inc and Fitbit uses the Consumer Electronics Show to showcase wearable fitness trackers and smartwatches, in addition to single and binocular lens "glasses.""There be a lot of competitive offerings and I think some of these are going to be really, very well suited for new sorts of entertainment and gameplay," Hardin said, without providing details.To make sure, not all developers think wearable items are destined for glory sooner. There are plenty of questions in the price point, limited life of the battery and other concerns.Misha Lyalin, CEO of ZeptoLab, which made the hit mobile game "Cut the Rope," says the category is mostly an R task for most game developers at this stage."In order so that you can succeed as being a developer, you have to have a platform which will be massive," Lyalin said. "It too soon to place a bet on."
