Project Ara, the modular handset

One thing is clear about the Google Project Ara that it is the future of smartphones. As Noah says that it will be the ‘next big thing‘, I will agree with him on that. Project Ara is still in the developmental stages, and Google has decided to talk more about it during a conference on January 14 2015. During the Engadget Engage Conference, more details about the Project Ara surface when Paul Eremenko, head of Google’s Project Ara, talked about health care technology.

He had the prototype version of Ara with him, and when he attached a module to the phone; the phone now had a prototype pulse oximeter as well. Pulse Oximeter measures oxygen content in the blood, and in past we have seen phones like the Samsung Galaxy S5 with a heart rate monitor. Project Ara can be molded according to a person’s health priorities, but with other phones, a user has very limited options.
