Trend one: artificial intelligence
IBM is using the machine learning algorithm to train the robot to better combine the appropriate position, tone and statement. The key of machine learning algorithm is applied to data analysis. And the progress of the visual data analysis and the speed of the acceleration will bring a wide range of effects across different areas. IBM's cognitive computing research department deputy director Guru Banavar said: "the technology of artificial intelligence in the understanding of the image is greatly enhanced, for example, this includes the target people and places and other special elements of the text and meaning etc.. "Banavar specially pointed out that human workers to deal with massive visual information, she also cited an example: a radiologist per minute to diagnose 16 radiation photos, and a visual data analysis machine can be faster. The world's most well-known information technology analysis company Forrester after the study stated: "to accelerate the speed of data processing will significantly enhance the performance of artificial intelligence in business in 2016. Analyst Brian Hopkins said: "the" machine learning will replace the manual data processing and supervision of the dirty work so hard, save time and can promote the strategy of data
A machine learning algorithm that is used to process language (it can be understood as auditory data analysis) will make it easier for people to communicate with computers. Microsoft's Redmond laboratory researcher and the managing director of Eric Horvitz showed that the virtual assistants (such as Apple's Siri and Microsoft Cortana) and the communication between people will be more intelligent. In the future, the virtual assistant can accurately determine the tone of the user's voice changes and the analysis and processing to give a more perfect answer. Andrew Arruda CEO, an artificial intelligence lawyer, said: "it's been a long time since we have been communicating with them based on the computer language, and that's exactly what we need to cross. "This means that the change of relationship between us and the artificial intelligence language interaction will, users are no longer indulge in artificial intelligence computer language, but artificial intelligence through data analysis and understanding of auditory language users.
In November last year, Google open source of its machine learning framework Tensorflow. A few weeks later, Facebook also open source Sur Big design, which is the company's AI algorithm to run the computer server. Google, Facebook, Microsoft and IBM (Arruda, ROSS is using the open source IBM Watson tools) are competing for artificial intelligence more prominent, take a leadership position in the market and artificial intelligence. Arruda evaluated the competition as "a war between genius". And this behavior is not the only means of competition, the behavior of entrepreneurs and developers to launch an open source tool. Microsoft, Facebook and apple are AI virtual assistant this competition to pick out their game (such as Microsoft Cortana, apple Siri and Facebook M), want from the search engine and electronic commerce competition for their own circle more territory.
Smart car
Now, in order to adapt to the market, the car's intelligent and shared trend of change can not be blocked. Intelligent car to achieve the interaction between people - car, the vehicle becomes intelligent, such as automatic inspection of the status of the body and the owner of the report, the driver gives advice, etc.. Car sharing, that is, car networking, car networking to achieve the people - car - network interaction between the three, so sharing is bound to be one of the development trend of intelligent vehicles. And intelligent traffic will achieve the "people - car - Network - Road," the interaction between the four, so as to achieve automatic driving or further unmanned. All of these technologies will be based on car manufacturers, dealers, and operators. With the continuous improvement of automotive electronic technology, intelligent vehicles are gradually into people's lives. Intelligent control of the car is becoming more and more simple, and the driving safety is getting higher and higher.
And in this year's CES show, the big smart cars can not wait at the meeting on the "show muscle". Google showed the LIDAR sensory system with low cost, TOYOTA will show a low cost and high precision of the map, NVIDIA also drying out Drive PX unmanned processing platform, and BMW I8 Spyder, Microsoft, Google and other companies do not show by human-computer interaction. In this meeting, whether it is the car parts suppliers, the traditional car prices, or the Internet giant, has put intelligent in the first strategic position.
In 2016, car networking related policy was released, the domestic smart cars on the battlefield began to smoke, LETV first car will be unveiled, Alibaba's first Internet car is expected to complete the listing, Baidu unmanned road test and other events. All these events show that the era of smart cars to come.
Intelligent wear
Whether Apple's Apple Watch, Samsung Gear S2, Misfit Misfit Ray, HUAWEI HuaWei WATCH or domestic Elegan, and for a period of time before the New York fashion week, Intel launched the "smart Bra" and equipped with sensors can be controlled by dress. For the vast market for smart wear, the major manufacturers are in silence for more market share. So the author concluded that the smart wearable is also bound to be one of the trends in the development of electronic products in 2016.
At present, the market is basically smart wearable focus on all types of watches and special type of hand. Although the smart watch has a more comprehensive function, can meet the needs of many users, the user can avoid inconvenience while wearing multiple pieces of equipment, but its function is not perfect, but also a part of the function is the user does not need, thus causing the function of waste, and this kind of versatile Wearable devices prices are more expensive. Hand ring is just the opposite, the function is more specific, and the price is relatively low, the user can according to their actual needs to buy their own, so the market is far greater than the Almighty wearable device.
VR (virtual reality)
VR is now a hot market, with Facebook, Google, SONY and Valve and other large companies competition, there have been many hundreds of millions of dollars of investment grade. With the continuous progress of science and technology, and now people are not satisfied with the graphic display of the audio and video, the market demand for VR is bound to lead to VR become one of the trends. VR in early 2014 will appear in the electronic products on the market, but in recent years there is a growing concern and become hot, and a release of Samsung Gear VR is the first significant battle started VR market orders of gun. The major domestic technology bigwigs will also look at the technology, science and technology Internet Co with millet, music as representing more quickly into the attempt to quickly occupy the domestic VR market, like storm Technology (2014 began contact with VR Technology) and other early VR manufacturers are also eager to attempt to share in the VR market a cup of soup. The VR market competition is more intense, the Facebook Oculus Rift project and Hololens project of Microsoft have announced the big two for the value of the VR market. Apple will not lonely, online rumours that a number of existing Apple Corp 100 VR product development team is wildly beating gongs and drums. And the author has published in the design of the article on the apple VR also mentioned in the article on the Apple company will enter the VR market speculation.
When the major domestic manufacturers are still concerned about the VR video and gaming market, foreign markets have been introduced to the VR medical, education, design and other fields. Even some professionals believe that compared to almost only has video function of civil VR equipment (VR VR, the first significant) applicability in the field of professional enterprises in the will be stronger, such as medical and educational institutions. VR able to create a full range of 360 degree of delicate experience, so that users can simulate the exploration of the terrain, to participate in activities, training personnel, treatment of patients, etc.. In 2016 CES companies are showing the application of VR technology in education, health, sports and other professional design field, and each big enterprise more application on VR in the business model, and the best practice of how to achieve profitability. In fact, this idea is nothing more than the promotion of computer, first let VR in many professional fields are recognized, and then gradually extended to individual users, in order to occupy a larger market share.
Not only is the electronic product industry chiefs are highly concerned about the VR products, Hollywood has also expressed a fanatical interest in VR technology. Although Hollywood has only launched a few short video to make the experience of use, but with the increasing number of VR studio on the, a long range of film and television works will appear in 2017, VR. This means that a new generation of director had to learn how to use nonlinear media to tell the story, that is to say the VR film will eventually become more like GTA (GTA), the world, such as my game halo.
UAV
At present, the application of the focus of the UAV is concentrated in the shooting. But in fact, the UAV also has a vast application prospect in agriculture, real estate, news, research, law enforcement and other fields, and even some drones have become a plaything in the hands of "consumers". And the broad market prospect of UAV, the UAV manufacturers for market demand and technology development has become particularly sensitive.
From the beginning of the parrot AR Drone series, the UAV began to operate through mobile devices, the UAV enterprise intelligent control mode and its products of mobile equipment production company with it has become a trend. And the most convenient mobile device is connected through mobile phone, exclusive App UAV drones hover, rising flight planning, autonomous flight, GPS, following the virtual joystick operation and other functions can be achieved, but also can directly upload pictures to get the UAV aerial machine, the utility model has the advantages of lightweight, easy to carry and easy to operate. The UAV manufacturer if you want to open a larger market manipulation threshold is low priority among priorities, otherwise the UAV will remain fancier or those who just need exclusive products.
Simple control of mobile phone App although it is not so difficult to use the UAV, but there are some inevitable problems. Most UAVs are unable to perceive obstacles and to avoid, so once they have obstacles in the flight path barrier, they will not be able to avoid, is likely to be directly scrapped. So now the UAV is not simply controlled by the user, the more it is needed such as automatic obstacle avoidance, indoor visual positioning and automatic follow, mobile intelligent operation more high-tech technology. In fact, as long as the mobile phone App control and security solutions put up a technical bridge, the security and reliability of the UAV through the phone is not a reliable intelligent control can not be achieved. And how the perfect integration of the two issues is left to the major UAV companies, we have to wait and see.
Trend six: flexible display
In 2016 CES LG Display shows the world's first 30 R radius of curvature 18 inch flexible (Rollable) OLED screen, in addition to 65 inch concave convex (Concave) / (Convex) OLED screen. Also on display will control the circuit hidden beneath the screen, the screen is as thin as paper, 55 inches OLED Paper-Thin TV, the display of these products reflects the future of OLED unlimited possible. Although in the 2016 CES venue, there are many manufacturers (such as LG) show the flexibility of technology, but they are more than a single function of the display, it is a curl of the screen and can stretch circuit. But at present, the main obstacles of flexible display (such as stretch circuit and flexible battery technology) are gradually being overcome by research laboratories around the world. Once these obstacles are overcome, the future of electronic products will become more compact portable.
