IBM Forecasts: 3D User Interfaces, Better Batteries, Ubiquitous Data Streaming
* 3D user interfaces everywhere
* Ten-fold increase in battery life
* Energy-efficient data centers
* Pervasive, ubiquitous data collection and sharing by individuals
“As 3D and holographic cameras get more sophisticated and miniaturized to fit into cell phones, you will be able to interact with photos, browse the Web and chat with your friends in entirely new ways.”
“Scientists at IBM Research are working on new ways to visualize 3D data, working on technology that would allow engineers to step inside of designs of everything from buildings to software programs, running simulations of how diseases spread across an interactive 3D globe, and visualizing trends happening around the world on Twitter all in real time and with little to no distortion,” IBM said.
Recent rumors indicate that Windows 8, which is due in 2012 or 2013, will feature a 3D UI.
One area is technologies aimed at turning individuals into living “sensors” that send data back to scientists who would use the technology to acquire orders of magnitude more data than, for example, climate scientists or tsunami warning center staff have access to today.
“In five years, sensors in your phone, your car, your wallet and even your tweets will collect data that will give scientists a real-time picture of your environment. You’ll be able to contribute this data to fight global warming, save endangered species or track invasive plants or animals that threaten ecosystems around the world.”
