Nick Bilton, in a New York Times article, cites Forrester Research analysts who point out the importance of software in differentiating and creating value in the wearables market while avoiding commoditization.

While the new hardware is fun and exciting for consumers, the ultimate value will come from creating a connection and engaging the consumers with effective and useful analysis of all the data collected. And in the small wearable form factor, the user interface is always going to be critical. With little or no room for buttons and displays, and not always having a smartphone handy to run an app, voice will increasingly become the user interface of choice for these devices.

Sensory is very well positioned to support voice user interfaces for wearables with ultra-low power implementations that can be woken by a gesture, and quickly respond to commands or shut down to minimize impact on battery life. Watch this space (pun intended) for product announcements of wearables with great voice user interfaces!
