A
common phrase these days revolves around Internet of things as well
as connected devices. Mobility which has become core of all user
interactions has evolved in such a way that it has given way to more
personalised and rich engagement between businesses as well as their
targeted audience. The coming of IOT has brought with it many
familiar devices in a new incarnation. From refrigerators to TVs and
wearable devices, the connectivity with internet has definitely given
these devices a whole new meaning. although the age of IOT has
started a while ago, still many users are reserved to the effect that
it will have on their lives.
Most
of these cases include those users who do not understand the concept
of internet of things and how it will improve the way they undertake
their daily tasks. The biggest reason for that can be the
unavailability of that killer app that would force end users into
adopting IOT as a mainstream technology. Although Enterprise mobile apps development surely has started
to evolve in order to accommodate IOT, there is still a huge void
between smartphones and connected devices which is making the switch
very complex.
From a
technical point of view internet of things works on a basic principle
of connecting devices with each other via internet and sharing vital
data so as to enhance their future growth. Each and every device is
given a unique identifier which can communicate with each other. The
sole aim of this technology is to create a word of devices which can
quickly communicate with each other in real time with and without
user input.
The
future is all about connected with each other and incorporating a
scenario where a range of action can be held on a single platform.
The real world interaction between devices and internet would lead to
a diversified world which would become highly smart. A few examples
include a pacemaker implant that can be monitored via remote
healthcare system, a device alert that can warn you if any appliances
are left running after you leave your home, while driving an app
would warn you if the road ahead is blocked, and a wristband that
would include all you medical history so that the doctor won't have
to go through a rigorous process.
All
these examples give an insiders view on how IOT will change the lives
of people and allow things to work with a predicted efficiency. With
big data also coming into picture, IOT will get a much needed push as
it would provide vital statistics to enhance and improve the product
and service. There are a range of mobile app developers who
have taken up the task of integrating their mobile applications in
the ecosystem of connected devices. Currently android wear from
google and upcoming iWatch from Apple are slated to reinvent
application integration. The only hindrance in front of these
platforms is the lack of developers support and relevant apps that
can drive the growth story of IOT. With time on their hands, these
micro-platforms would surely overtake smartphone mobility and start a
new revolution in the consumer as well as enterprise sector.
