The 3 Best Business Applications of Emerging Tech - Plus, the Top 33 IOT and AR/VR Agencies, According to DesignRush
NEW YORK, April 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Research shows there will be over 30 billion IOT devices and 1 billion AR users by 2020, proving that technology is a growing strategy for brands.
DesignRush.com, a B2B marketplace connecting brands with agencies, discovered the three best applications of emerging technology like the Internet of Things and AR/VR.
The three best business applications of emerging technology include:
1. Mobile Apps
Mobile apps are the most obvious platform that can have the Internet of Things and AR/VR integrated into them.
Brands can create mobile applications for the Internet of Things devices - such as a smartwatch - or a traditional mobile app that allows users to better interact with an IoT device, like a home security system.
Additionally, AR/VR provide an engaging experience that allows consumers to connect with a brand. Examples of this include augmented reality apps that allow users to virtually place products in their real-life environment, virtual reality apps that immerse users in a different location, and more.
2. Multimedia
IOT and AR/VR can be applied to different forms of multimedia, such as videos, voice control, digital marketing, and more.
This integration can allow consumers to learn more about brands, create a hands-free UX experience, and even improves internal employee training and onboarding.
3. User Experience-Centric Products
The Internet of Things and AR/VR can power products designed to improve user experience. After all, the best products are those that identify a problem that consumers face and rectify it.
Some examples of high-tech products that are strongly based in user experience include:
-- Smartwatches
-- Smart thermometers
-- Programmable coffee pots
-- And more
"Emerging technology is slowly becoming the differentiator between successful brands and those striving for success," says DesignRush Founder and Executive Director Gabriel Shaoolian. "Businesses that take the time to incorporate new technologies will be able to better serve their customers, which will foster longevity in the marketplace."
