Meizu will start installing HarmonyOS, at least in wearable gadgets

HarmonyOS 1 1024x640
Huawei is building HarmonyOS at an accelerated pace. This year the company plans to transfer a multimillion gadget fleet to work with it. It hopes that other Chinese companies will join the initiative “here’s a cool operating system for you”. Huawei confirmed last week that at least three companies are serious about starting to install HarmonyOS on their devices. The names of those who are ready to put their gadgets under the banner of the Huawei operating system were not named. But today we already know the name of one of the companies. It was Meizu.

6eed47096d5f3b1f7ffa19f122ad55f6
Nowadays, when you hear the term “wearables”, you probably think of smartwatches like the Apple Watch, fitness trackers, and VR headsets like the Oculus Rift. However, these gadgets didn’t just appear out of the ether. Several other devices had to crash and burn so modern wearables could flourish. While the 2010s was the first decade where wearables really took off, these devices actually have a long, storied history. They date all the way back to 17th century China, when scholars invented a tiny wearable abacus—or you know, the world’s first smart ring. Since then, there’s been a lot of trial and error in creating wearable technology that the average person would actually use. But we’re not here to talk about the successes.

“Wearable Microgrid” Harvests Energy From Human Body to Power Electronic Gadgets

Wearable Microgrid Crop
The wearable microgrid uses energy from human sweat and movement to power an LCD wristwatch and electrochromic device. Credit: Lu Yin Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a “wearable microgrid” that harvests and stores energy from the human body to power small electronics. It consists of three main parts: sweat-powered biofuel cells, motion-powered devices called triboelectric generators, and energy-storing supercapacitors. All parts are flexible, washable and can be screen printed onto clothing. The technology, reported in a paper published today (March 9, 2021) in Nature Communications, draws inspiration from community microgrids. “We’re applying the concept of the microgrid to create wearable systems that are powered sustainably, reliably and independently,” said co-first author Lu Yin, a...
