今天可穿戴设备的使用正在增加，并且它看起来不会很快放慢速度。
根据IDTechEX的研究，2016年可穿戴市场将超过300亿美元，2018年增长到超过400亿美元，到2023年将加速到超过1000亿美元，到2026年将超过1500亿美元。
MikroElektronica的Hexiwear物联网开发解决方案
这些设备用于多个行业，包括信息娱乐，医疗保健和医疗保健。
医疗，健身和
健康和军事，包括健身追踪器，智能手表，智能服装，智能眼镜，医疗设备等产品。
似乎每天都有越来越多的可穿戴应用程序被设想出来。
例如，当搜索可穿戴技术的Kickstarter（众多众筹网站之一）时，会出现319个项目（搜索完成于2017年6月5日）。
所有这些都是独特的项目，如果开发出来，有人认为这些项目既方便又有用。
通过引入专门针对可穿戴设计的开发套件，开发可穿戴应用程序变得更加容易。
其中之一是MikroElektronika Hexiwear可穿戴开发套件。
该套件由Kickstarter资助，是与恩智浦半导体合作开发的，适用于需要物联网工具套件的开发人员。
Hexiwear套件包括蓝牙连接，并具有多种内置应用程序，如实时气象站，实时加速度计和陀螺仪读数，手电筒，带卡路里计数器的计步器，心率读取器，以及
智能手机通知
此外，还有一个智能手机应用程序（适用于Android和iOS），可以远程访问Hexiwear的传感器以及数据记录到云端。
该套件使您能够开发自己的可穿戴应用程序，以您希望的方式运行。
MikroElektronica提供了在其网站上编写第一个程序的指导，其中包括所需的软件，驱动程序下载以及用于调整手电筒应用程序以及更改触觉反馈持续时间的代码示例。
完成这些操作后，您可以开始尝试更改其他功能，以了解如何与Hexiwear进行交互。
一旦您完全熟悉如何对设备进行编程，您就可以开始使用此套件开发自己的可穿戴产品，或者在hackster.io网站上查看其他人对Hexiwear所做的工作。
该网站目前包含其他Hexiwear开发人员共享的各种项目，供您复制或调整以供自己使用。
您还可以开发您的Hexiwear项目并与他人分享，供所有人享用。
有数百种Click™板可供Hexiwear Docking Station使用。
这些扩展板可增加功能，如呼吸测醉器，摄像头，FM接收器，操纵杆，microSD插槽，电机控制/驱动器，MP3播放器等等。
有了这么多扩展板，Hexiwear的可穿戴开发仅受您的想象力限制。

The use of wearable devices today is increasing and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down any time soon. According to IDTechEX research, the wearable market will be over $30 billion in 2016, growing to over $40 billion in 2018, accelerating to over $100 billion by 2023, and will reach over $150 billion by 2026.1
![]() MikroElektronica's Hexiwear IoT Development Solution
These devices are used in multiple industries including Infotainment, healthcare & medical, fitness & wellness, and military, with products like fitness trackers, smartwatches, smart clothing, smart eyewear, medical devices, and more. There seem to be more and more wearable applications being dreamed up every day. For example, when searching Kickstarter (one of a number of crowdfunding sites) for wearable technology, 319 projects come up (search done 6/5/2017). All of these are unique projects that someone deemed to be convenient or useful if developed.
Developing a wearable application is becoming easier with the introduction of development kits specifically focused on wearable design. One of these is the MikroElektronika Hexiwear wearable development kit. Funded through Kickstarter, this kit was developed in collaboration with NXP Semiconductors for developers in need of an IoT tool kit.
The Hexiwear kit includes Bluetooth connectivity and has a multitude of built-in apps, such as a real-time weather station, real-time accelerometer and gyroscope readings, a flashlight, a pedometer with a calorie counter, a heart-rate reader, and smartphone notifications. Additionally, there is a smartphone app available (for both Android and iOS) that allows remote access to Hexiwear’s sensors along with data logging to the cloud.
This kit gives you the ability to develop your own wearable applications that function the way you want them to. MikroElektronica provides guidance for writing your first program on their website which includes the required software ,driver downloads, and code examples for tweaking the flashlight app along with changing the haptic feedback duration. After going through these, you can start playing around with making changes to other functions to get to know how to interface with the Hexiwear.
Once you are fully familiar with how to program the device, you can go ahead a start developing your own wearable product with this kit or see what others have done with the Hexiwear on the hackster.io site. This site currently contains a variety of projects shared by other Hexiwear developers for you to replicate or tweak for your own use. You can also develop your Hexiwear project and share it with others for everyone to enjoy.
There are hundreds of Click™ boards available for use with the Hexiwear Docking Station. These expansion boards enable added functions such as a breathalyzer, camera, FM receiver, joystick, microSD slot, motor control/driver, MP3 player, and many more. With this many expansion boards available, the wearable development with Hexiwear is only limited by your imagination.
