Additionally, Android Wear was rumored to be launched with LG G watch, Moto 360 and Samsung Gear Live and it went right or true. Smae thing happened today at the keynote, Google announced the Android Wear along with  all the three smartwatches.

Android Wear is intended to provide “information that moves with you” and puts the entire world inches from your suddenly-free fingertips. Here are features that are embedded in the Android Wear:

Vibrating notifications – when notifications are received by the user’s smartphone they can be set to make the watch vibrate on the user’s wrist.
