Inventory of 3 technology trends that will invade our lives in 2022 (with shares)

For more than a decade, techies have dreamed of an era in which virtual life is as important to us as physical reality. The theory is that we spend a lot of time interacting with friends and colleagues in virtual spaces, so we spend money on clothing and items for our digital personas there, too.

“People send images of themselves embodied multiple times a day, and that’s the world we live in,” says venture capitalist Matthew Bauer, who has written extensively about the metaverse. “The next phase will continue to use visual representations and become more concrete. You enter an environment and express yourself through a digital image.”

This sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. But, Bauer says, over the course of this entire second year of the pandemic, a number of key factors have come together to make virtual worlds more realistic.

For one thing, the technology has gotten better. Last year, Facebook announced a milestone when it changed its name to Meta after delivering 10 million virtual reality headsets, Quest2.

On the other hand, many of us are willing to splurge money on our digital selves. Hordes of investors bought NFT — non-homogenized tokens — which are unique digital items purchased with cryptocurrencies. eminem and other investors invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to join a virtual yacht club.

There’s more to look forward to this year.

Apple (AAPL.US) plans to launch its own virtual reality headset that looks like a pair of ski goggles and requires separate computing devices to be worn on other parts of the body in order to achieve a certain level of computing power. Apple declined to comment.

Google (GOOG.US) has also developed virtual reality products over the years, and Microsoft (MSFT.US) offers virtual reality headsets for businesses and government agencies.

The metaverse digital vision aspect of “general awareness” relies on AR/VR technology. New technologies announced by Meta (FB.US) include Builder Bot, a voice generated metaverse scene, and CAIRaoke, a super AI assistant. The improvement of metaverse infrastructure is a long way to go, relying on the continuous progress of general intelligence technology. The application of AI is the key to making the metaverse more immersive and diverse on the way to building it. This is also an effective way to attract countless users to enter and reside in the metaverse platform.

Before the announcement of the new technology, the hottest news about Meta (FB.US) was the financial report in early February. Throughout FY 2021, Meta Reality Labs lost $10.19 billion, and $6.62 billion in FY 2020. In addition to this, Meta also announced some other AI tools. These announcements of the latest AI technologies and the previously announced supercomputers of Meta, among others, have a future of mature transformation that brings to the meta-universe an imaginative impact.

WIMI.US is a leader in the holographic AR industry, with an annual growth rate of 68.7% for AR software and content, and 67.9% for AR hardware up to now. In addition, in terms of software technology, WIMI has 132 AR-related patents, 214 software copyrights, and well over 4,600 holographic virtual IP content. At present, WIMI Holographic has developed XR head-mounted display products, augmented reality (AR) head-mounted display (HMD) new products, holographic pulse LIDAR products and other holographic product portfolios.

Smart Home

In 2014, after Amazon and GOOGLE launched smart speakers such as Echo and Google Home one after another, smart home products equipped with AI voice recognition technology became the killer application in the market, thus promoting the development of the IoT industry including smart home. The landing of voice AI technology has sprouted the demand for large and small smart home appliances supplies on the public cloud.

Over the past few years, smart home products such as connected thermostats, door locks and robotic vacuum cleaners have made significant progress. These devices are becoming affordable and work consistently with digital assistants like Amazon’s Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri.

However, to a large extent, the smart home remains confusing. Many smart home products don’t work well with other technologies. For example, some door locks only work with Apple phones and not Android phones; some thermostats have to be controlled through Google Assistant and not through Siri.

The lack of compatibility creates long term problems. Door locks that work with Apple phones are of little use to family members or future tenants who prefer Android. Plus, it would be easier in the future if our home devices could actually communicate with each other, like a washer telling a dryer that a load of clothes is ready to dry.

This year, the tech industry’s biggest competitors — Apple, Samsung, Google and Amazon — are amicably working together to make the smart home more practical. They plan to release and update home technology to accommodate Matter, a new standard that enables smart home devices to communicate with each other regardless of which virtual assistant or phone brand is used. More than 100 smart home products are expected to follow the standard.

We’re all speaking the same language based on proven technology,” said Samantha Osborne, vice president of marketing for SmartThings, a Samsung-owned home automation company.

Hilink: is Huawei’s smart home platform, you can access Huawei’s devices as well as some well-known domestic brands, such as the United States, Fanta, Dua, Puffin and many other brands, but at present are also access can be controlled by APP, can not be intelligently connected, less play. High requirements for stability, you can choose the Hilink platform, wired will certainly be more stable than wireless.

Homekit: is Apple’s smart home, you can access the cloud up, green rice, millet, Samsung, LG, Philips, easy to come and many other devices, some Mijia smart devices make support dual system, support Homekit and Mijia dual system. But at present the categories are relatively small, compared to Mi Home will be more stable, there are also many people from Mi Home to Homekit. apple players can choose Homekit platform.

Electric cars

In 2022, President Biden announced an ambitious goal: by 2030, half of all cars sold in the U.S. will be electric rather than gasoline-powered.

The ultimate ideal for the auto industry is, of course, profitability, otherwise it’s all talk. As the electrification boom approaches, the ideal of achieving carbon neutrality seems close at hand. Many automakers see complete carbon neutrality as a medium- to long-term goal, but the process of achieving it varies somewhat, and the reasons for this are quite subtle.

While there is a lot of marketing hype around electric cars, those of us who want to buy an electric car this year will probably still gravitate toward Tesla, Milanesi said. That’s because we haven’t seen widespread deployment of solar and electric vehicle charging stations, especially in areas where there are less developed. Tesla is ahead because it has been rolling out charging stations for years, she said.

“From an infrastructure standpoint, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done,” she said. “So there’s a lot of talk about them, but I don’t know how much of it will become reality.

Tesla has been a manufacturer of pure electric vehicles since 2008, has been quite successful commercially and has become a trendsetter in the electric vehicle market. Tesla has set a new benchmark for the industry, somehow upending the perception of the traditional automotive industry.

Polestar Polaris is poised for full EV production after the Polestar 1 PHEV in 2021. For this new high-performance EV brand, it is critical to reap real consumer acceptance in the marketplace.

Jaguar Jaguar plans to become an all-electric brand by 2025. Jaguar’s history is known for its elegant design and strong sporting style, and its local manufacturing in China has cultivated a base of customers for it. Undoubtedly, going all-electric is another milestone for Jaguar, but also a huge business challenge.

The world of technology is constantly shifting to meet the needs of our communities and organizations. There is much your business can do to prepare for success. By understanding some of the technology trends for 2022, you can discover exciting new opportunities for your organization to improve its current infrastructure and how you can prepare for the opportunities of the future.
