The Future
Look out: 5G in 2020! • Massive wireless data push • Cloud-based processing & rendering • Capturing of 3D Data 5G + data from autonomous vehicles + individuals with their devices = *networked spacial mapping extravaganza *
New tech: Blockchain
aka “Distributed ledger” : a record of assets or any kind of content that is shared, replicated, and encrypted
so it becomes a verified and immutable source of truth.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Conversational UI
Chatbots were BIG at SXSWi 2017
Amazon Echo / Google Alexa
Huzzah!
As of October 2016: We’ve achieved human parity in conversational speech!
Nice job, Microsoft team
In the not-too-distant future…
Recognizing gestures, affect, age?, what else?
A.I. in headphones knows your voice, removes it for noise cancelling; turns off when someone says your name
