Tomorrow and coming soon….

Transparent screens

OLED Screens

2.9mm-thick OLED telly is the desirable shape of TVs to come. It’s the world’s slimmest TV model.

31 Inch1920×1080 HD visuals with passive 3D functionality built-in.

Mini - low cost wearable OLED screens

Flexi screens

Flexi Screens

OLED Screens

Sony’s latest concept – a full-colour flexible display built on the sheet of plastic, can bend and it still shows the video. It’s only 0.3mm thick and has a resolution of 160×120px.

Smart TV

Smart TV is an entertainment and app platform

You can use it to access video content from places like YouTube and BBC iPlayer, use social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter, check Google Maps and play games.

Wireless 4G networks

IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports

2128 (about 3.4×1038)

From another perspective, this is the same number of IP addresses per person as the number of atoms in a metric ton of carbon.

WiFi 4G

While 4G wireless internet is not available everywhere yet – UK in 2012 - it is a very strong choice for travelling and mobile users. Based on phone tower signals, 4G service providers can give you from 1 to 50 megabits-per-second download speed

Better than the majority of Broadband services today

Wireless – NFC (Near Field communication)

Wireless power transfer and charging

Smart phones – dual core processors

Smart phone &Tablet docks

Augmented Reality

AR on our TVs today

Augmented Reality Apps - Wikitude

Augmented reality in FM tools

Overlaying data on real time images

Applications could include room booking, building diagnostics, space modelling and planning

AR – some examples

RiTech Signature USB

Straight out of 007, this offers ultimate data protection

With hardware encryption, through dual fingerprint recognition and a unique self destruct tamper protection

Cloud computing

How bright is the future?

Right side:

Place a photo (optimal size is 127x190.6mm to fit to the frame). Do so only when needed, because every slide with image will increase the file size.You can also place a text (by editing and overwriting this textbox)

……..foresight – it’s a wonderful thing

Sony concept computer

Developed to be worn as a bracelet, this computer concept is constructed out of a flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) touchscreen.

This computer is supposed to be in the market in the next 10 yrs, features like a holographic projector (for screen), pull-out extra keyboard panels and social networking compatibility

Nokia concept phone

Nokia Morph concept phone will use nanotechnology based flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. This would mean you could change the shape of your phone/device (as shown in the picture).

How cool is that?

Maybe a step to far…….

Well, it will be cheaper to produce flexible display screens at some point so possibilities are endless.

Imagine computers that can change shape while using three-dimensional and touch-driven interfaces.

Smart buildings

Some of the technology coming to an office near you…..

Smart – so what is it?

Pertaining to the ability to do data processing locally; SMART: An intelligent terminal that can edit input before

transmission to a host computer.

The use of networked technology, embedded within architecture to monitor and control elements

of the architecture for exchange of information between users, systems and buildings.

Present – Bringing technology from other sectors

Occupancy profiling HVAC controls Energy monitoring Security monitoring Digital signage

Real time ‘everything’

The raw data of how many people are occupying a space in real-time will allow the precise alignment of occupancy and energy use, and create new metrics for space planning

Real Time dashboards

Visitor journeys

Visitor kiosks

Virtual check in

Facial recognition

Real time energy awareness and management

Internal and external customers are demanding organisations to be energy proficient

Energy conservation measures will move to be monetised in line with targets. Increased pressure to provide sustainable action and processes

Telepresence
