Sensors for wearable devices, immersive virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), and the next wave of mobile applications will be available to all businesses Bring a major impact.
Gartner, a research and analysis organization, points out that sensors used in applications such as wearable devices, immersive virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies, and Internet of Things (IoT), and the next wave of mobile applications The program will have a major impact on all businesses.

Brian Blau, vice president of research at Gartner, pointed out that the following five personal technologies will subvert the technology cycle model and will become an important part of the business development in the next few years:
1) Immersive expansion and virtual reality
From the major technology exhibitions such as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year, it is obvious that device manufacturers and large platform operators such as Google and Microsoft are exploring how to use immersive technologies such as AR and VR. To expand the experience of existing devices (especially smart phones), and hope to find business opportunities from a variety of applications, such as head-mounted displays.
Although consumers are adopting faster than enterprises in virtual reality, it is generally expected that augmented reality will be prioritized for commercial applications.
Brian Blau said: "There is a lot of potential in both consumer and commercial environments. The immersive experience can deepen the level of commitment in the workplace and open a door to drive employees to change behavior patterns."
For example, logistics giant DHL has begun to use high-end wearable displays and augmented reality technology to improve warehousing operations. The head-mounted display (HMD) replaces the handheld scanner and paper picking list, which not only improves efficiency, but also makes the workplace more enjoyable.
2) Wearable device
From head-mounted cameras and displays, sensors and activity trackers, to smart footwear, wearable devices continue to expand the potential of human business opportunities. Smart watches will become mainstream, and new solutions and platforms will also drive companies to adopt relevant technologies.
Gartner predicts that annual sales of wearables by 2020 will exceed $227 million, up from $88 million in 2016. The cumbersome appearance will also change, making people almost forget about its existence, and the usability will increase as the device gradually becomes able to anticipate the needs and needs of users.
3) Personal Internet of Things Sensor
Before 2021, 1 million new IoT sensor components will be sold every hour.
The new device will open up new business opportunities for the enterprise, such as predictable maintenance needs, or provide support for autonomous “objectsâ€. Gartner predicts that by 2018, the number of connected "objects" with support needs will reach 6 billion.
4) Virtual personal assistant and robot program
The use of mobile apps has gradually stabilized. As user preferences continue to use some tried and tested applications, the growth in downloads has entered the plateau.
Applications won't disappear in the short term, but their interfaces will be subtle and replaced by new interactive technologies. Brian Blau believes that the current application provides an island-based independent interaction model, but the next wave focuses on the integrated experience.
Future applications will reward the user through a virtual personal assistant (VPA), or the application will be completely hidden in the background, and the interface will be integrated into the overall content in a seamless way.
Virtual personal assistants will become an important linking tool that allows consumers, future and even business users to simplify access to applications, materials and content. Companies should evaluate the potential of virtual personal assistants to enhance the customer experience.
5) High-end cameras and vision technology
Gartner predicts that in 2016 and 2017, cameras will remain the focus of smart phone manufacturers' differentiation. This year's trend is focused on the integration of high-end autofocus, wide-angle lenses, and the most important multi-lens features to provide a new experience.
There are many potential applications for commercial use. For example, a customer's digital assistant at a retail location can identify individuals through face and voice, and related work can span across pipelines and partners, making it a great opportunity to enhance the in-store experience.
At the same time, consumer audio and video consumption is at an all-time high, especially in terms of mobile devices. For enterprises, revolutionary 360-degree and multi-lens cameras may be used to share virtual display interfaces and immersive remote meetings to improve collaborative work. On the other hand, audio and video analysis techniques help interpret audio and video. The meaning of adding more value to the content.
Rather than seeing the consumerization of technology (consumerizaTIon) as a force for corporate organizations, Gartner suggests that companies should take the initiative to establish a process to evaluate various personal technologies and identify opportunities to improve workplace processes. With homework.
