awaits us near where we talk to each appliance with the familiarity of a friend, where cars reach independently chosen destination future, where pets are robots and every corner of our homes hears us to ensure our well-being and security. It is a future where access to a doctor just be a matter of touching a screen, where travel to remote places of the planet will be possible without leaving home.
The strokes of the future, to first utopian view, were outlined in the framework of the Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas (USA). In the event developments focused on transforming the way people approach to technology they were highlighted. The premise of the brand will improve user experience, making each machine into an ally, a friend, to improve the quality of life of individuals.
The fair, also known as Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in English, focused on themes such as the Internet of Things (IOT, for its acronym in English), virtual reality, and autonomous electric cars, drones, mobile devices, televisions and robotics.
Drones carrying people
In the future, the UAV can be controlled with ease and even operate their account. The Ehang 184 goes further. It is a huge drone in which fits a passenger. Does not require controls, the person feel, choose the desired destination and the vehicle will take, without manipulating anything but the screen of a tablet. This flying machine is capable of carrying a weight of 100 kg, has a range of 23 minutes and fly at a maximum speed of 101 km / h. Another drone capable of flying on your own is the Parrot Disco. It comes equipped with sensors, it reaches a speed of 80 km / h will be available in 2016.
Technology wellness
Health and welfare are key themes at this year’s CES, with an increase of 40 percent in relation to last year, the number of exhibitors in the area. IBM announced its partnership with the sports brand Under Armour to create an application to diagnose, with hours in advance episodes of hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes. Add to this the announcement of the arrival on the market of OMsignal, an undergarment with sensors that send data from the torso to an application that measures the heart rate, respiration and consumption of calories in a workout adds. Intelligent clock Fitbit brand, specialized functions that measure performance in sports activities also appear in the list; sensors capable of reading the nutritional value of meals and a patch, designed by L’Oreal, who put on the skin indicates how healthy is being solar radiation to the body at the time.
Robots to daily service
In the future robots will be able to help people in their daily tasks. For example, Samsung introduced a vacuum cleaner robot called PowerBot integrating various sensors and a digital camera that allows you to create a map of the house to calculate the most efficient cleaning path. In addition, the vacuum cleaner is able to detect obstacles to minimize blind spots. Another example is Chip, a dog robot manufactured by WowWee. This electronic pet has several infrared sensors in its head that allow you to reach your bed, where recharge the battery, or find a ball with which he is able to play.
autonomous Carros
Companies such as Volvo, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Ford, Toyota and Kia drew the outlines of what will be the car of the future. A car can reach their destination without driver sees. In this vehicle, the driver is a passenger and enjoys a robust entertainment experience thanks to touch screens that can be controlled with gestures. BMW sees a car without mirrors, where cameras help drivers to identify obstacles to their surrounding environment are. Firms consider predominate trucks powered by electric motors that can be recharged in just one hour, such as Budd-e prototype, designed by Volkswagen.
Virtual reality will take off in 2016
During CES important statements on this subject met. For example, the US firm Oculus VR, owned by Facebook, announced that Oculus Rift may pre-order for $ 599 and will be, by far, shipments to 20 countries (Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Poland, etc.). Colombia is not on the list. The glasses will be available in the global market on March 28. HTC introduced a revamped version of his glasses for developers. This is the HTC Experience Pre, which are now more ergonomic and integrate a camera that combines the virtual and real worlds.
