ShapeShifting Screens, Smart Cities, Mixed Realities, And AI Everything: Predicting 2023 And Beyond
(MENAFN-Hksstrategies) Smarter embedded technologies have changed everything from the devices in our hands to the way we collaborate with colleagues or even buy products. As artificial intelligence and edge computing proliferate, powering and enabling many industries and activities, we are seeing extraordinary changes.
But what will happen in 2023 (and beyond)? What surprises await us in our evolving relationship with technology?
Below, we take a look at some of the new technologies that will change our world even more in the near future.
1. “Holographic” technology brings meetings to life
In our new hybrid workplace, technology will evolve to create meetings where “holographic” attendees feel as real as if they were there in person.
Technologies that can unite teams, even across continents, will become increasingly important in the hybrid, remote, and increasingly globalized workplaces of the future.
For presentations, product launches or meetings with other organizations, augmented and mixed reality offer new opportunities to influence organizations with life-size "holograms" that can interact with virtual objects (for example, to demonstrate new prototypes). or the study of "digital twins" of real objects).
Lenovo's cyber technology concept shows how a "figital" approach can work, with custom translucent and semi-reflective glass covers allowing the person behind to physically interact with life-size objects.
2. Shapeshifter improves hybrid performance
Lenovo's next-generation 16-inch ThinkPad X1 Fold rounds out the foldable category.
Screen size still matters in the age of multitasking, and devices designed for video recording and editing, streaming, gaming, and more are built into our portable devices. Looking to the future, the phones in our pockets may actually be smaller, contrary to the longstanding trend of smartphones, but "upscaled" or "improved" when we need to use them. A simple familiar device can switch to performance mode at the touch of a button.
Motorola's Rollable Proof concept, unveiled at Lenovo Tech World, is compact and portable when unfolded and expands to a large screen when needed.
This year, Lenovo and Motorola introduced two flagship devices that show how future devices can change at will and empower future hybrid mobile users.
Motorola's 312 Labs innovation team has developed the concept of a foldable smartphone that's just 4.5 inches tall, easier to fit in your pocket than most premium devices.
When users need more screen real estate (whether for work or just relaxing while watching a movie or playing games), this device concept expands from a 5-inch screen to a 6.5-inch screen, the same size as the leading devices on the market.
Lenovo's proof-of-concept rollable PC features a motorized display that flexes for larger screen sizes while maintaining a thin and light design.
For mobile workers, Lenovo also showed off its proven Rollable PC with a 15.3-inch display to boost productivity (and programmers with extra screen real estate, for example). The screen rotates on command thanks to a motor inside the laptop, so employees can increase their productivity and flexibility at the touch of a button.
Lenovo Spectacles T1 is a personal portable display for viewing content on the go.
Don't be surprised if you see more people "using" the screen for mobility and privacy and need more screen real estate.
3. Metaverse will change the way we work
The metaverse is getting closer and closer to reality, but it's not just about cartoon and game avatars. Instead, the tech metaverse is run by business, not gaming.
As for the development of the metaverse, we may be at the same level as the World Wide Web of the mid-90s, and the big leap is just around the corner. Teams will learn to collaborate, share, and work in immersive spaces we call the enterprise metaverse to facilitate technology adoption. Instead of games like flight simulators, they will be "work simulations," immersive learning that will accelerate adoption of the metaverse.
ThinkReality VRX takes VR headsets to the next level for immersive learning, collaboration, and 3D design.
Solutions like the Lenovo ThinkReality VRX headset are emerging to enable employees to collaborate in virtual reality and deliver fast and affordable learning experiences.
At Lenovo, we believe the future of the metaverse is one of collaboration and true openness, where ideas and technologies can be easily shared, not in a "walled garden" controlled by a single corporation.
4. Businesses are getting smarter
Artificial intelligence will increasingly shape the world around us and speed up everyday activities like shopping.
In the near future, AI servers will be able to analyze multiple video feeds from cameras in store aisles to see when large numbers of items are being picked up at the same time, and track deliveries to stores to ensure levels of inventory stays high. This will allow stores to track products more effectively, match supply and demand faster, increase profit margins, and ensure shoppers get what they pay for.
As customers click and shop, AI cameras keep a close eye on whether they get what they ordered, eliminating the hassles associated with modern shopping and self-service.
American retailer Kroger has 2,750 stores in the US and uses Lenovo Edge AI servers to detect payment errors. External Lenovo servers monitor video data in real time, and an AI system prompts shoppers to "fall off" in the form of a five-second video displayed at the checkout if an item isn't scanned . Customers have options to solve the problem: Lenovo's AI servers can intelligently view 20 high-quality video streams simultaneously.
5. Multiple Access Edge Computing (MEC) will boost the development of smart cities
In the future, smart cameras will monitor traffic in smart cities, reduce pollution, congestion and traffic accidents, and server computing will make everything from holographic learning to augmented reality shopping possible.
Why edge computing? Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) means that requests are processed in the smart city itself instead of being sent to a remote data center, meaning requests can be answered within milliseconds. A pilot project in Barcelona demonstrates the power of edge computing, with 3,000 Lenovo servers across the city enabling cameras and IoT devices to send data where it's needed.
In the future, edge computing could even help cities meet emissions targets by controlling traffic lights so cars can drive more efficiently.
6. Hybrid work will allow the use of new technologies
The way we work has changed forever, and the new hybrid workplace of the future will change the way businesses use technology, with shifts to technologies like smart sensors and rentals of everything from equipment to the office itself.
This reduces additional costs for start-ups so that young companies can grow faster and with greater flexibility.
A Lenovo survey of 500 CTOs found that 43% believe their company's technology architecture has "evolved" and that things like smart devices (76%) and the Internet of Things (70%) are becoming more important . . In the past year.
Organizations will move to a more streamlined model where the entire office experience and related solutions and services can be provided by a third party. Lenovo now offers a managed employee experience where companies can rent workspace solutions, not just hardware or software, including (for example) IT infrastructure and performance analytics, support, cloud services, and IT infrastructure services. data.
