Essay / Sony Electronic Activity Tracker - 1178
IntroductionThe advancement of technology is undoubtedly one of the greatest inspired and organized activities of humanity today. The world we see around us and the goals of today's society have been greatly influenced by advances in technology. The device I would like to research has actually changed the way human life takes place. It records all the activities of an individual over the days – the activity tracker. A fitness tracker is a computer-assisted monitoring and graphing of health-related metrics such as distance traveled or covered, calorie consumption, and in some cases heart rate and nap quality. . Early in product development, activity trackers were built-in computers, such as that provided to the United States by the President's Council on Fitness and Sports as part of the President's Challenge; Since the release of the first Fitbit activity tracker in 2009, the term initially referred to electronic monitoring devices that are linked, in many cases via Bluetooth or wirelessly, to a computer or smartphone for recording and graphing of data over long periods of time, an example of wearable technologies. Electronic activity trackers are improved versions of pedometers. In addition to counting steps or movements, they use accelerometers and altimeters to calculate distance, graph overall physical activity, measure calorie expenditure, and in some cases monitor and graph heart rate and the quality of the nap. Some also include a silent alarm. The original Fitbit, released in 2009, was worn strapped to the waist; formats have now improved to include bracelets, necklaces and smaller devices that can be worn anywhere you want. Apple and Nike together developed Nike+iPod, a camera equipped with sensors ...... middle of paper ...... occasions, communications, physical activities and photos taken and places them in a graphic format, in addition to coach and guide you with set objectives. From what little we've been told about the Lifelog camera's feature, it seems like users could pair it with a mobile phone and then set specific triggers for capturing photos, like times of day or activities. So suppose you want to record your daily exercise moments, this concept would handle that automatically and upload the photos to your personal page. It's the kind of thing that arouses the enthusiasm and boredom of quant selfie-takers - you know, those ardent life bloggers. But just because Sony is showing off this Lifelog camera concept doesn't mean we'll ever see it become a commercial reality. Sony could just test consumer choices or just show its idea of the possible road in the future..
