Emerging Technologies
• Is a term generally used to describe a new technology
• Those currently developing, or that are expected to be available within the next five
to ten years.
• Usually reserved for technologies that are creating or are expected to create
significant social or economic effects.
• Transportation:
• The Steam Engine, The Railroad, The Diesel Engine, The Airplane.
• Communication:
• The Telegraph, The Transatlantic Cable, The Phonograph, The Telephone.
• Industry:
• The Cotton Gin, The Sewing Machine, Electric Lights.

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
• The term Artificial Intelligence?
A man made thinking power.
• The branch of computer science by which we can create intelligent machines which
can behave like a human, think like humans, and able to make decisions.
• Intelligence is composed of:
Reasoning
Learning
Problem Solving
Perception
Linguistic Intelligence

Advantages of AI
• High Accuracy with fewer errors
• High-Speed (fast decision making)
• High reliability
• Useful for risky areas (such as defusing bomb, exploring ocean floor)
• Digital Assistant
• Useful as a public utility (self driving cars)

What is IoT ? IoT
• It has not been around for very long, despite an attempt to communicate a machine
with another one in 1800.
• IoT was officially name in 1999.
• One of the first examples of an Internet of Things is Coca Cola machine.
• Kevin Ashton stated that Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was a prerequisite
for the Internet of Things.
• By the year 2013, the Internet of Things had evolved into a system using multiple
technologies.
• IoT can’t function without software, including middleware, known as an IoT or IoT
platform.
• Is a multi-layer technology that enables straightforward provisioning, management,
and automation of connected devices within the Internet of Things.
• Versatile nature of IoT makes it an attractive option for so many businesses and
organizations.
• Application areas (industries) of IoT
1. Agriculture: Indoor planting, crop monitoring
2. Consumer Use: Smartphones, smartwatches,
3. Healthcare: (wearable technologies, Telemedicine, Headsets that measure brainwaves)
4. Insurance: (Fire alert, Water Leak Detection, Stolen car trackers)
5. Manufacturing: (Maintenance of equipment)
6. Retail: (automated reports, robot)
7. Transportation: (autonomous cars)
8. Utilities: (monitor environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature)

WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY? AR
• Augmented reality (AR) is a field of computer research which deals with the
combination of real-world and computer-generated data.
• Is a form of emerging technology that allows users to overlay computer generated
content in the real world.
• It’s a blending of the real and virtual worlds.
• Adds digital elements to a live view often by using the camera on a smartphone.
• Overlays augmented objects onto a real-life environment while enhancing our
senses and create a whole new environment to enjoy.
• We can try this technology using smartphones.
• Examples: Snapchat camera, Pokémon Go game.
• The first Augmented Reality Systems (ARS) were usually designed with a basis on
three main blocks:
1. Infrastructure Tracker Unit: collecting data, sending to processing unit.
2. Processing Unit: mix real with virtual content and send it to Visual unit.
3. Visual Unit (Video in & Video out): manage captured video for computer vision and image
processing.
• Education:
