Three Cutting Edge Technologies
Business Technology | July 18, 2012
New technologies come out every year, and you never know which ones are likely to change our lives. Inc. has compiled a list this year of the most ground breaking technologies that we should keep an eye on. We have presented three of the most promising below.
V-MODA VAMP
As we replace most of our devices with smartphones, just about the most annoying aspects of the iPhone is the musical sound quality. The V-MODA VAMP wishes to enhance this by acting as an amplifier for the iPhone 4 or 4S. It will also improve the battery life of the iPhone as it is a back-up battery as well.
Alice Receptionist
This is perfect for businesses who wish to save some money on a receptionist. Alice is a virtual receptionist that greets people as soon as they enter the office. Visitors may then interact with its touchscreen to contact employees. One of the benefits of Alice is that there is very low learning curve; it is supposed to by quite simple to use.
Microsoft SmartGlass
Microsoft has created what they’re calling SmartGlass. Though this product is not out yet, it has created quite a stir. With it you can turn your tablet or smartphone into a controller for your HDTV. This allows you to use your device to control games, music, and videos on your TV.
Again, there aren’t any guarantees that any of these technologies really will hit it big. But there’s enough buzz and consumer interest to suggest that all three of them might capture the imagination, and spending dollars, of consumers.
