This year is a significant one in terms of wearable technology, and particularly that of smartwatches. Whilst initially the watches themselves will serve as a convenient extension to your existing smartphone it is believed that once they have arrived and become part of our everyday routine then developers and game manufacturers will be looking to get in on the action.
App developers will be looking to utilise the device technology to build new and exciting experiences for their customers. The Apple Watch, due for release next month, will feature a number of useful applications such as wearer health and physical activity monitors plus a direct link to the new Apple Pay facility. But with its instantly accessible intuitive swipes and control gestures there’s plenty of scope for developers to create or even rework existing online games for smartwatch users to begin playing.
Even though Android Wear gadgets that currently run on Google’s mobile operating system have been around for a little while now they still require a lot of work to get up to the standards that consumers will really expect. There are plenty of issues that still need to be addressed in order for these new wearable devices to really become part and parcel of everyday use and something that consumers can really benefit from owning. With the forthcoming introduction of the Apple Watch we are hoping that standards will pick up very quickly due to the great level of competition that there will certainly be between manufacturers in the forthcoming months as well as with future upgrades.
One of the major areas of concern that needs to be tackled at the moment is the battery life which does seem to fall victim to the mass of quality graphics and automated apps and features that are currently running on these new smartphone devices. The entertainment and gaming market especially will need to consider this factor when creating attractive new apps. Gameplay can have an incredible drain on battery life and require a lot of other elements such as graphics, sound and usability. The specific mechanics of the watches will be crucial to understanding how best to develop successful games for them and it’ll be interesting to see how games themselves are developed for the new platform. Whether it’s action, fighting, adventure or UK slots whenever a new platform comes to fruition it makes for exciting new innovations in the gaming market.
