    Tech Fact

                        Using your smartphone’s range of sensors (Accelerometer, Gyro, Video, Proximity, Compass,
                              GPS, etc.) and connectivity options, (Cell, Wi-Fi, 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.

                            EDGE COMPUTING

                     Edge computing is a complimentary approach to cloud computing. Edge computing keeps computer

                     data close to the user.
                     Just like cloud computing, edge computing provides storage and applications to be consumed by

                     end-users. Edge computing, on the other hand, runs fewer processes in the cloud and moves those
                     processes to local places, such as a user's computer or any IoT device.
                     Edge  computing is used  in technologies  such as autonomous  vehicles, video  conferencing, and

                     augmented reality. Edge computing, for example, reduces the delay of waiting for a server in the cloud
                     to respond when an autonomous car makes a split-second choice to brake and avoid a collision.

                            AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY

                     Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) bridge the digital and real worlds. Both technologies
                     find the greatest use in entertainment, sports/gaming, close interactive eye-to-eye communication,

                     and aided shopping experiences. Imagine sitting at home and browsing through a London store, where
                     you can see and feel the merchandise you wish to buy. This technology is also used in education.
                     Imagine being a live participant in a historical battle or a student of anatomy in medical school. You

                     can really feel the sensation of being in the battle or interact with virtual anatomical models for a more
                     immersive learning experience.
