Augmented Reality (AR)

Augmented Reality or AR is a technology used to enhance the real world experience with the help of computer enhancements. Augmented Reality is used in many industries, the most popular being gaming and medical industries.

In the medical industry, Augmented Reality is used by students to practice surgery in a safe and contained environment and in the gaming industry, it is used to enhance the gaming experience of the people by displaying the characters of the game in the real world through the camera of their device.

The most common and popular examples of AR being used is the game ‘Pokemon: Go’, where the player has to explore the real world and use the in-game map to locate and catch Pokemon in the real world by displaying them through the camera in the real world.

VR is usually used for gaming in order to enhance the gaming experience for a player. Many games have the option of being played both normally and with the help of a Virtual Reality headset.

A VR headset or Virtual Reality headset is a gadget which allows a person to see and interact with the real world. Examples of some famous Virtual Reality headsets are Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PSVR (Play Station VR). VR is the future of gaming and it ensures that soon there’ll be no need for controllers and keyboard & mouse for gaming.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence or AI is the science of creating intelligent machines that can act and react like humans. AI has been in existence even before the Internet, however, it wasn’t that advanced at that time. Nowadays, AI is very advanced and is considered as the future of technology.

Ironically, some conspiracy theorists believe that Artificial Intelligence will be the reason for the end of mankind because the machines will become self-aware and go rogue in order to get freedom from humanity.

According to me, AI is one of the best advancements in technology and have a very bright future.

Cryptography and Blockchain are becoming very popular day by day due to the high use and demand of cryptocurrencies (it is a simple way of digitally transferring money with the help of cryptography).
