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.
