1. Internet of Things
Internet of Things (IoT) technology is all near us. It enables objects to work together in cooperation to reach a specific goal. IoT is currently used in Smart Home technology, allowing users to control household devices or systems when away from home.
Each machine in an IoT system has a unique identifier that will enable it to receive signals or commands from other devices through the usage of the Internet. With the speed of 5G technology, IoT is now being implemented into systems that previously needed fast internet speeds because of the large amount of data used.
Things like robotics and self-driving cars are now using this technology, which has become more affordable than in the past and will soon be introduced into more household goods, helping to make our lives even more effortless. Industries most likely to use IoT technology in the future are agriculture, transportation, utilities, finance, and hospitality.
2. Blockchain
Blockchain is the technology that allows online transactions through an unchangeable distributed digital ledger. Never has there been a more safe way to send and receive money online. The technology will enable cryptocurrencies to be exchanged through secure transactions, allowing money to be sent in seconds worldwide without any fees involved.
In the world of sports betting, industry leaders such as BetUS use the technology to ensure all financial transactions using cryptocurrency are fast and secure, revolutionizing the way transactions are handled online. There are also applications outside of cryptocurrency that financial institutions and other industries explore.
3. AR Technology
Augmented Reality technology will be incorporated into many more mobile apps in the future. It integrates computer graphics and sound into the view of the real world. The best example would be the face filters users have seen used on Instagram and Snapchat.
Online retailers use the technology to see how a piece of furniture looks in your actual house. Online sports betting industry leaders such as BetUS could use the technology to enhance the players’ experience by providing real-time analytics while watching a sporting event. Many industries will be looking to adopt the technology to add more innovative elements to their applications to give users a more immersive experience.
4. Beacon Technology
Beacon technology uses a wireless transmitter called a beacon that sends signals to devices nearby. The technology is currently used in many industries, such as retail stores, and it’s used to track customers through their mobile phones and deliver them offers and coupons once they get close to the store.
It’s also used by restaurants, hotels, sports arenas, and other locations. The technology uses Bluetooth, and the user grants permission after downloading the company’s app and having Bluetooth turned on while in the Beacon’s proximity. Beacon technology can even help blind people navigate, as is being done in San Francisco’s airport.
Sometimes you don’t even have to take out your phone to use Beacon technology. For example, an app called BeHere allows students to register their attendance in class when they walk into the classroom with their phones in their pockets.
