Devices for mobile use with enhanced security
Security on mobile devices is still a very difficult problem. The Software Guard Extension (SGX) technology from Intel is one choice; it enables the usage of secure encrypted memory regions on common CPUs. The objective is to give apps access to a protected and secure execution and memory space. Mobile devices, a major source of security breaches that corporate IT must deal with, may benefit from this. In an article on tech predictions published by eWeek, Sriram Rajamani, the assistant managing director of Microsoft Research India, said: “We will see the beginning of a new generation of systems solutions that guarantee security even if the operating system or other infrastructure gets compromised by hackers.”
New chip architectures that enhance the performance of machine learning
New chip architectures will enhance performance over what is currently possible with graphics processing units as more IoT and machine-based applications join the IT mainstream (GPUs). The execution of machine-based learning and analytics will be significantly enhanced by these speed enhancements, as well as data transfers.
Drones
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will continue to advance into commercial uses, whether it is for package delivery, capturing pictures, or assessing physically challenging terrain. Through the use of sensors, they will gather IoT data and feed it into centralized communications.
Autonomous robots
Simple medical treatments, facility cleaning, and item picking and packing in warehouses can all be done by robots. As new technologies are used to compile all of the knowledge that has been acquired by all machines into a central data bank that any machine can access, the intelligence of these automated machines will further expand.
More user-friendly virtual reality equipment
Companies are staying away from VR applications as a result of the uncomfortable and nauseating effects that heavy headsets have on VR consumers. That’s about to alter. For instance, Google Cardboard offers a small holder for your smartphone and offers a rich video experience that is comparable to that delivered by more traditional headgear. Greater corporate use of VR will be made possible by more comfortable VR headgear.
