In this article we take a look at the various technology trends and interesting solutions we came across while visiting different parts of the globe throughout the year
Every year brings new opportunities to discover new technological inventions that can deliver real-life improvements. Many of the most-talked-about technologies today were discovered decades ago but have been fitted into practical and innovative applications only recently. India has picked up more pace in innovation by leveraging its strong software skills and improving its hardware capabilities. Other countries around the world have also focussed on bringing forward the best applications of technology at cost-effective prices.
Technologies like machine-to-machine communication, cloud and edge networks, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), among many others are shaping new-age solutions in healthcare, smart city applications, utility and resource management, surveillance, industries and factories, offices, homes, agriculture, automotives and many other verticals. In this article we take a look at the various technology trends and interesting solutions we came across while visiting different parts of the globe, in the past year.
Smart wear
The world of smart solutions has been focussed heavily on smart wear lately, with applications ranging from daily use for consumers to applications in industries. Smart watches have
Automotive
Electric vehicles (EVs) and connected cars are being considered as the next-generation road riders all over the world. Design elements of automotives are changing with larger involvement of sensors, processing units, powertrains and display screens.
Rear-view mirrors are being integrated or fully replaced by monitors, and can now be operated through controls available near the dashboard. Many of these monitors come with computer vision to help navigate or detect collision risks.
