Trinity Co., Ltd. announced that it will discontinue the development of wearable terminals weara.
Although it is a product that has been planned for 4 years and has been officially announced for more than 2 years, there was a delay due to the spread of COVID-19 infection after the announcement, and it means that the decision to discontinue development has come here.
The reason for discontinuing development is that the development of hardware, firmware, apps, and cloud systems failed.
Weara is outsourced to companies in Taiwan and the continent. The first company went bankrupt, the second company had problems with finance and technology, and even the third company could not commercialize it as a result.
We can see that Hoshikawa's strong commitment to products and the circumstances in which he was unable to meet the high quality requirements. After all, it was a disappointing result because it was a product that was able to be announced once. Next, I would like to expect a compromise between commitment and commercialization.
Trinity has a track record of launching NuAns NEO, a smartphone equipped with Windows 10 Mobile, and NuAns NEO [Reloaded], which is a SIM-free model for the open market that shows that even small companies can install FeliCa.
