From
smartwatches to self-driven cars, let’s take a look at some technological
trends to look out for this year.
15. Wearables (glasses
and smartwatches)
Wearables
are gadgets are that provide you with information on the go. Smartwatches and
smart glasses can help you stay up to date with just a glance.
14. 3D printing
3D
printing has been one of the hottest tech buzzwords over the last couple of
years, and with the cost of machines dropping, expect a boom in demand for
these printers.
13. 4K content
Capable
of displaying a picture with four times the resolution of the 1080 pixel HD TV,
the Ultra HD 4K televisions gives you a 3D effect without the glasses.
12. Mobile payments
As
the name suggests, mobile payments allow the user to pay on the go. With more
applications accepting mobile payment and more payment-centric applications
being created, mobile payments are something to watch out for in 2015.
11. Internet of Things
(IoT)
A
concept that lets devices connect to each other remotely to make things simpler
for you, Internet of Things is something you will hear a lot about.
10. Context-rich systems
With
systems becoming more alert to their surroundings, today's
context-rich systems come with embedded intelligence, making the system more
responsive to change.
9. Smart machines
These
are machines that can learn on their own and make amends accordingly. Smart
machines will keep correcting themselves and will continue to evolve.
8. Evolution of the
tablet
The
tablet is a device used in many ways from menus at restaurants to a salesman
showing off a product. To make the most of office space and make certain tasks
easier, many businesses are coming up with tablet formats to improve their
processes.
7. The depletion of
service desks
As
people look for solutions quicker and with the emergence of crowd-sourcing, the
value of service desks is reducing. Companies are now deploying
more hands-on business solution teams.
6. Panoramic cameras
Useful
for people working in real-estate, insurance, travel, wedding
photography and many more professions, the panoramic camera captures the
entire location, inside or outside.
5. Drones for civilians
Drones
had their own section at this year's Consumer Electronics Show and US sales of
the unmanned aerial vehicles are predicted to pass US $100 million in 2015. The
country's Federal Aviation Administration have a 2015 deadline to legalise
drones for civilian use, although it is possible this deadline may be
missed due to the difficulty of ensuring the aircraft's safety and
reliability.
4. Driverless Cars
As
the name suggests, driverless cars are vehicles that do not require a person to
drive. A car that would start or stop while in traffic or park on its own,
driverless cars help the driver do other things like reading, eating, calling
and many other things.
3. Virtual assistants
From
Apple’s Siri to Google Now and now the recently launched Amazon’s “Alexa”, the
intelligent virtual assistants help you speak to your gadget and order it to
complete actions verbally.
2. Better laptops
As
technology evolves, there's less and less difference between our laptops and
our tablets. Laptops are thinner and more advanced than ever before.
1. Connected Car 2.0
An
in-built system in cars, Connected Car 2.0 syncs the car system with your
phone, helping the driver talk without actually holding the phone or wearing a
headset.
