As it is hard to believe, but just five years ago, phones were able to only make calls and send SMS, and the presence of the music player was presented as a revolutionary innovation. The pace of development of mobile gadgets beat all records, and new technologies are being introduced so fast that even last year's machine now seems hopelessly outdated. Let's try to look a little ahead and try to guess what the latest chips will acquire our mobile phones in the very near future.
Some of these technologies while being tested in laboratories, others have already been implemented in a limited circle devices. Say for sure whether they will spread and wide acceptance is impossible, but we will try to highlight some of the most promising mobile technologies of the near future.
1. Augmented reality (AR)
The term "augmented reality" means a mixture with conventional real-world and virtual means of special devices and programs. This technology very quickly overcame the way from the fantasy novels to research laboratories, but today it is approaching the consumer devices. Already there are special programs for smart phones, adding to the image sent from the camera a special data layer for the display of interesting places, cafes, historical information, and so Further.
2. flexible screens
Evolution of recent years definitely is continually increase the screen diagonal. From the earliest monochrome 120x160 to a monstrous Samsung Note it was not much time, but maybe soon you'll be able to change the size of your screen depending on the need. Thanks to the technology Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) screen mobile will emerge as a sheet of paper or even roll up into a tube. In addition, the introduction of flexible thin screens can cause various forms of flexible phones. For example Nokia is developing a flexible phoneHaving a band form.
3. Built-in projector
If flexible screens is not enough to compensate for the small screens of smartphones, then why not build in projector there? Samsung Galaxy Beam was released in the second half of 2010. It has a built-in DLP (Digital Light Projection) WVGA projector is capable of projecting the image on any flat surface. It can turn your phone into a versatile entertainment center that is always with you. Movies, photo demonstration, computer games, educational software, and other features of the phone will have a brand new experience in use.
4. Voice-activated phone
Hottest technology this year. Apple, as always sets the tone for the introduction of Siri function, but Google makes it clear that he was ready to accept the challenge. The latest version of Android 4.1 has been presented its own version of the voice assistant, which in some ways seems even preferable. These developments are prepared and in research laboratories LG and the Samsung, so we can confidently predict that the voice control technology is waiting for a bright future. Very soon you will be able to talk with your phone on equal terms, for example to discuss the weather, or movie news, ask to check out the latest news or to remind about the upcoming meeting.
5. 3D-screens and holograms
Smartphones may have already reached their peak with the screen Retina Display, Apple's, which actually provides higher resolution than the human eye can perceive. Nevertheless, even in this case, the researchers are looking for, that would offer us new. Manufacturers of mobile gadgets are working to develop ways to display 3D images on the smartphone screen. At the moment we already have the first signs in the name of 3D-smartphone on the market, such as the LG Optimus 3D, Motorola MT810, as well as Samsung AMOLED 3D.
And some see the development of mobile technologies to you? What is your phone of the future?
