Android, in the present day scenario, isn't just limited to the phone that you carry around with you all the time. In fact, it has made a distinctive move from being stuck to the mobile platform, and on to your wrist. Hence the introduction of the Android Wear platform.
It hasn't been long since Google announced that Android Wear platform. At that time, the company also revealed that Android Wear will "extend" the mobile OS to smartwatches (for the time being), and to other similar wearables in the future.
In case you haven't really been reading up or following up on the platform, in short, Android Wear enables notifications from smartphones to appear on new watches (like the LG G Watch). This allows users to interact with those notifications using voice or swipe gestures.
"We've barely scratched the surface of what's possible with mobile technology. That's why we're so excited about wearables-they understand the context of the world around you, and you can interact with them simply and efficiently, with just a glance or a spoken word," the official post for the same states.
