Internet Billboards
I must give credit and thanks to Jeremiah Owyang SF, Silicon Valley Industry Analyst Altimeter Group. His group did compile the initial list, and does amazing work in this area compiling data. Let's add and update the list throughout the year.
Web and mobile apps that enable users to share, rent, borrow, and gift products and services with low friction transactions.
Example: AirBnb, Lyft, Uber, see my list of 200, and brand examples.
Devices that capture and analyze a set of sensors, providing intelligence based on context of people, place, and time in a detailed manner.
Example: Mobile devices that use Indoor Positioning Systems IPS, NFC, RFID, mobile/social data, and Wifi networks can identify a consumer as they move through a showroom floor, down to the inch.
Technology that empowers manufacturing of 3D objects and production anywhere.
Example: MakerBot, 3D systems, Affinia, Formlabs, Stratasys, and now replicator technology quickly scans, and copies a 3D item.
Technology that senses movement, and causes digital systems to respond. Computer interfaces and sensors will emerge causing keyboards and mice to fade away.
Example: Leap, Kinnect and other technologies give path to a minority report experience. Eye tracking software such as Tobbi and retina tracking software even in store emerge.
A layer of information is placed on top of our reality plan, using digital glasses, empowering users to access and transmit real time digital information.
Example: Google Glass (we’re on beta test list) will emerge and empower consumers to access Google interfaces as they traverse world.
Unlike Augmented Reality, this is an immersive experience across many senses that digital replicates sight, sound, feel.
Example: Oculus Rift, Stanfords VR Lab (I’ve visited) provide immersive headsets that simulate a world.
Technologies that capture data from around the world, cities, and nature to analyze and predict future patterns.
Example: Open data economy, data in mobile networks and mobile devices, telematics in cars, Nest thermostat, and thousands of other sensors are actively collecting data and altering our world
There are evolutions happening to digital screens, from flexible screens that can morph to anything, to digital output devices everywhere, and 3D technology.
Example: 4k resolution (higher res than HDTV), 3D TVs, flexible OLED screens
Wireless power, solar power, and efficient power sources enable transportation, devices, enable more computing, sensing, and information spread.
Example: Powermat, Powertrekk, eCoupled provide wireless power
