Trend 1: Data and device growth with enhanced human-computer interaction By the end of 2019, there will be about 3.6 billion devices actively connected to the Internet and used for everyday tasks. With the rollout of 5G, the door will open for even more devices and data traffic.
Trend 2: Artificial Intelligence is once again a key player in the IoT Making the most of data requires computerized help through artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is an essential element necessary to make sense of the vast amount of data collected and increase its business value. Artificial intelligence will help IoT data analytics in the following areas: data preparation, data discovery, visualization of streaming data, time-series accuracy of data, predictive and advanced analytics, and real-time geospatial and location (logistical data). Major cloud providers including Amazon, Microsoft and Google are increasingly looking to compete based on their AI capabilities. Various startups are hoping that AI algorithms capable of leveraging machine learning and deep learning will enable organizations to extract more value from the growing volume of data.
Trend 3: VUI: Voice User Interfaces Will Become a Reality
Voice accounts for 80 percent of our daily communications, and just like in sci-fi movies, talking to robots should be a common way of communicating with people such as R2D2, C-3PO, and Jarvis.The use of voice in setting up devices, changing settings, giving commands, and receiving results is not only in smart houses, factories, but also in things like cars, convertibles, and other devices. but also between devices such as cars and wearables.
Trend 4: More investment in the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things is one of the few markets of interest to both emerging and traditional venture capitalists. The popularity of smart devices and the increasing reliance of customers on using them to perform many everyday tasks will increase interest in investing in IoT startups. Customers will be waiting for the next big innovation in IoT, such as smart mirrors that can analyze your face and call your doctor if you are sick; smart ATMs that will incorporate smart surveillance cameras; and smart forks that can tell you how to eat and what to eat. What to eat, and smart beds that will turn off the lights when everyone is asleep.
