From Wristwatch to Wearable Electronics
As the wristwatch is one of the miracles of miniaturization in the early 20th century, it is not surprising that sensors measuring the motional and physiological state of a person and the environmental conditions became a part of the wearable wrist devices. These wrist top computers became a driver for the integration of MEMS devices into consumer applications, such as sports, outdoors and wellness. The heart rate monitor, altimeter and the electrical compass with integrated accelerometer to compensate the inclination create benefits to any active persons exercising, skiing or trekking in the wilderness. Even this consumer segment is relatively limited, the applications defined the requirements ...
