examples of Emerging Technologies

Haptic technology

Enables the user to interface with a virtual environment via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.

Haptic technology

This mechanical simulation helps in the creation of virtual objects, controlling them, and augmenting the remote control properties of machines and devices.

graspable, wearable, and touchable

Main types of haptics are _____; each has its advantages and applications.

Virtual Reality

• fully artificial environment

• full immersion in virtual environment

Augmented Reality

• virtual objects overlaid on real-world environment

• the real world enhanced with digital objects

Mixed Reality

• virtual environment combined with real world

• interact with both the real world and the virtual environment

Contextual Awareness

It is a device system’s ability to collect information based on the user’s environment combined with algorithmic preferences.

Voice and Tone Recognition

a device system’s ability to identify a particular person through speech and tone

Intelligent Routing to Devices

collects information on a certain location, particularly about an issue.

Intelligent Routing to Devices

Mobile devices that can take photos can have GPS support.

Eye Tracking Technology

measures eye activity.

Eye Tracking Technology

Applications of this technology are evident in the medical, marketing, and education industry.

Internet Glasses

are wearable computer glasses that can display information similar to a smartphone.

Google Glass and Oculus Rift

Internet Glasses examples include

Google Glass

• Augmented Reality

• integrates physical and virtual worlds to create a sort of “sixth sense”

Oculus Rift

• Virtual Reality

• integrate the “real world” experience with the “digital world” of computing power

Three Dimensional model

Displays a picture or item in a form that appears to be physically present with a designated structure.

Three Dimensional model

It allows items that appeared flat to the human eye to be displayed in a form that allows for various dimensions to be represented.

width, depth and height

Three Dimensions include:

metaverse

The _ is a loosely defined term referring to virtual worlds in which users, represented by avatars, interact, usually in 3D, and focus on social and economic connections.
