Imagine opening your favorite app by just thinking about it or watching videos without needing to stretch out your finger on the screen. That is soon-coming technology!
Mobile applications have increasingly integrated AI to provide their users with a more tailored experience, and 5G will add speed and efficiency to this trend.
Wearable Technology
Wearable technology has quickly moved out of science fiction novels and into everyday life at an unprecedented pace. While many consumers use wearables for health tracking purposes, others have started integrating wearables into their business operations.
Wearable devices include smart rings, jewelry and fitness trackers. These devices usually connect and communicate with an app in order to relay vital data like heart rate, caloric intake and exercise habits.
Clothing featuring technology embedded into it, like Levi’s jacket that uses Google Project Jacquard technology and contains threads with electrical fibers that enable users to answer calls or play music directly from their sleeves is another application of wearable tech.
These wearable devices may even provide life-changing capabilities such as smart watches that monitor heart and brain activity, blood sugar levels and other medical parameters – potentially helping individuals take a more proactive role in their healthcare and providing real-time updates to doctors that could result in more efficient treatment plans.
Bike-less Phones
Bike-less phones provide a way to take advantage of GPS without draining your phone battery on long rides. Plus, most top bike computers include mounts that make them simple to attach them directly to your bicycle.
Instead of providing data on trip origins and destinations, dockless shared bikes with embedded GPS tracking devices allow scholars to collect massive geographic datasets on travel trajectories – which allows for new approaches to analysing users’ route selection behavior.
5G mobile technology has now entered the market, outstripping 4G technology both in terms of speed and low latency. This means mobile apps will run faster and smoother than ever, giving app developers new opportunities to create interactive and data-intensive applications that run smoothly and fast. As it may become more important over time, now is an opportune time for app developers to experiment with this emerging tech.
Smart Homes
Connected devices allow users to remotely manage a range of tasks remotely. They can also operate on schedules, such as automatically switching on at 7 a.m. or triggering when temperature sensors detect an overheated home. Smart home technology saves energy by only activating when motion is detected – another advantage over its traditional counterpart.
Other smart home devices can be controlled through voice command using home assistants such as Google Nest, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit. These assistants also monitor energy consumption to help homeowners reduce costs.
Smart home security capabilities include sensors for doors and windows, security cameras and video doorbells that can be viewed anywhere with Internet access. Unfortunately, smart home products often have a steep learning curve and can be expensive to purchase and install; consumers also often worry about device manufacturers using data collected by these devices to target ads to them directly. New technology such as Matter specification was recently unveiled that allows devices from different brands to work together seamlessly.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an invaluable resource that can be utilized to create innovative mobile applications. Integrating AI into apps can improve their performance by making them smarter and more intuitive for users – for instance voice assistants like Siri or Alexa can leverage it, image editing or text recognition software can utilize AI for image edits, text recognition can predict customer needs or enhance the overall user experience!
AI applications can help companies lower costs and increase productivity. AI can automate repetitive tasks to free up employee time. Furthermore, its data analysis capabilities can enable companies to forecast maintenance needs more accurately and reduce disruptive downtime.
AI can also help optimize e-commerce platforms by analyzing buying patterns and suggesting products – leading to improved return on investment (ROI) and increased customer loyalty. However, apps incorporating AI/ML often need to store large volumes of data – potentially taking up all available memory on mobile devices unless cloud computing can leverage server side storage capabilities for backup purposes.
