Living as humans in the 21st century can be both a good and a bad thing. The positive side of this is that we are getting the opportunity of seeing the brilliant evolution of giant technology being disclosed and the downfall of it is we are the first hand witnesses to this new exposure of god-knows-what to the whole mankind. This is because technology can be beneficial but it may come back around to bite us in the tail when things are uncontrollable. There is usually quite an uproar every time new inventions are made to publicly announce to the people. This is because we ourselves, who have been living through the ever-changing technology know what exactly by both sides of the coins.
However, on the brighter side of this invention and continuous technology evolution, we as humans can never deny how impactful these gadgets can be in our daily lives. Without it, I am pretty sure we would still be stuck with wired and coined public telephone which we cannot even use in urgency. A lot of things are able to progress because of technological evolution. As there are many evolutions and inventions that we ourselves might have missed from the rampant updates, here are the top 5 greatest inventions that you should be looking forward to:
Digital Twins
A technological update that heavily depends on 3D graphic, model data, virtual and augmented reality will be used closely in creating virtual models. Virtual models can be of anything such as service, system, product and other physical things. This replica will help tremendously in copying the real physical product as to recheck what is to improve virtually. Many are confused whether a digital twin is some kind of simulation but it actually is not. As simulation is static, a digital twin is programmed to be able to receive updates from real-time processing. Therefore, when engineers or whoever is doing it virtually, they will be able to apply what is in the real world technologically. This is such an advanced creation as it will help people with their businesses a lot. Many designers and business owners such as home painters Toronto are able to utilize this program so that they can design and demonstrate paintings first before dunking into the real process in reality. Many parties will be well-benefited with this program as they are able to create the end-result before even starting on the project to usher customers’ trust better.
Extended Realities
Coming from an umbrella term that is widely used to refer to the two worlds – physical and virtual mergence, extended realities are about to come to life due to the fast-paced advancement in the technological field these days. The existing immersive technologies we have for now are the famous Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality. There are more reality series to be created and released in the near future but these are what we should be preparing for. Augmented reality can be oversimplified with what we are used to seeing such as the Instagram filters which enables us to put glasses over our faces without actually wearing it physically. You can also get Pokémon GO as a prime example of augmented reality technology living amongst us. By having all sorts of extended realities, we are able to have the imaginative products in our minds to be brought to life and in front of us.
Virtual reality on the other hand is more on the fully-engrossed in the digital environment. Super different from augmented reality, people are required to put on VR headset to access the 360-degree view. There is a whole new world that does not physically exist when you put off the headset. For mixed reality, this has not been widely known yet as the hybrid is really rare. You can get to interact a digital object to something from reality. Coexisting is the word frequently used for this program. Many are trying to adopt this particular way in solving problems.
Voice Interfaces And Bots
Voice interfaces are honestly, hands down, the best invention out of everything else in the whole universe. This is insanely genius as many things can be easily solved with this brilliant formation. First, we can get a legitimate example from Alexa. You do not even have to worry about being alone at a huge mansion all by yourself because once you call out the magic word, you will be able to get what you want digitally. Apple too has came up with this long ago with Siri. It is interesting how we are able to even change the voices to someone else’s or celebrities that we prefer more. Voice interfaces or voice user interfaces (VUI) are user’s virtual assistants that permit us to converse through voice commands with a systematic program.
Autonomous Vehicles
With Tesla emerging as the one of the top and most-advanced autonomous vehicles, we can highly anticipate that we are getting more and more of this wonderful creation. It is proven that it has helped humankind tremendously. It is envisioned to prevent more car and other vehicle accidents which can be mainly caused by microsleep. This will help more drivers to be relaxed while driving.
