Using your smartphone’s range of sensors (Accelerometer, Gyro, Video, Proximity, Compass,
GPS, etc.) and connectivity options, (Cell, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.) you have a well-equipped IoT
device in your pocket that can automatically monitor your movements, location, and workouts
throughout the day.
3-D PRINTING
3-D Printing or 3-Dimensional Printing is a technology
which was first developed at MIT (Massachusetts Institute
of Technology) in the 1980’s. In this technology, we use
3-D digital data on the computer to build 3-D objects by
adding layers of material which could be polymers, metals,
concrete or even plant and human tissue. Rapid Prototyping
(RP) method is used to create models all over business and
industry in order to quickly test a new product before mass
production. 3-D Printing can be termed as a RP method.
In the construction industry, model houses can be built in a day using 3-D Printing.
There are many 3-D Printing methods: Direct 3-D Printing, Binder 3-D Printing, Multi-Jet-Modeling
(MJM), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Photo-polymerization
AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) AND VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)
Augmented Reality is the blending of Virtual Reality and real
life. Images are created by developers within applications
that blend in with content in the real world. AR users are able
to interact with virtual content in the real world and can also
distinguish between virtual and real content.
In Virtual Reality, we create a virtual world that users can
interact with. In this world, the user can’t easily distinguish
between what is real and what is virtual.
In both VR/AR people must wear HMD (Head Mounted Displays) like Oculust Rift or the inexpensive
Google Cardboard.
Both AR and VR provide a total immersive experience to
the user. These technologies can find the greatest use in
entertainment, sports/gaming, close interactive eye to eye
communication and also aided shopping experiences.
Imagine sitting at home and browsing through Harrods Store
in London where you can see, touch and feel the merchandise
you wish to buy. This technology can also be put to good use
in education, imagine being a live participant in a historical
battle or a student of anatomy in medical school. You can
really feel the battle or touch the organs.
