Fitness Trackers
Fitness trackers are wearable bands that track number of
steps, duration of exercise, number of calories burned,
and blood pressure.
Smart Glasses

Smart glasses are sunglasses or spectacles with a
computer embedded in the frame. These display
information onto the glass lenses. Modern smart

glasses can run mobile apps.

Embedded Computers
An Embedded computer is a computer chip fixed inside a machine or device. It is a
combination of hardware and software that is designed to perform a highly specific

function. For example, an embedded computer inside a geyser will switch ON the
geyser at a specific time, set the temperature of water depending on the weather, and
switch OFF the geyser when the water has heated.

• They are very small in size.
• They use very little electricity.

• They are highly efficient.

Real-life examples of embedded computers are found inside automated cars, ATMs,
sensor-based lighting systems, game controllers, fitness trackers, smart home locking
systems, and modern traffic light systems.

Knowledge Discovery Subject Enrichment

Most applications of Artificial Intelligence involve use of devices with embedded computers
or wearable computers that can gather data continuously and learn as the devices are used.
