User experience and technological advances are driving the
growth of the mobile app market, with each new operating system update creating
new innovations that allow app developers to stand out from the crowd. read more.The speed at which technology evolves can make it hard to
keep up, but here are the top innovations you need to follow to make a name for
yourself in the ever-expanding app market, according to Small Business Trends
make:
speech recognition
Voice recognition capabilities allow users to control
certain application functions hands-free, adding value to your application and
allowing them to use it efficiently, something that all customers seek in our
increasingly busy world.
Speech recognition is now more reliable, and it's easier
than ever to build apps capable of converting speech to text and vice versa.
Who knows, maybe one day all apps will be controlled by voice command.
biometrics
Mobile security is now a major concern for smartphone users,
with many using biometrics such as fingerprint scanning, iris scanning, and
facial recognition as secure methods to lock their phones.
So why not use this biometric data to create trusted
personal identification in mobile apps? Enterprise customers, government
agencies, and security-conscious organizations are drawn to a simple,
cost-effective way to protect payments, files, and server authentication.
low energy bluetooth
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0) has already made great strides
in mobile platforms this year, but BLE 5.0 will offer even longer ranges,
faster speeds, and lower power consumption.
Improvements with BLE 5.0 will make it more efficient for
customers to use Bluetooth to control mobile applications for a wide range of
areas, such as: B. home security, cars, drones and external sensors.
arkansas
Augmented reality isn't a new technology, but there's been
renewed interest in AR since the explosive success of Pokemon GO last year.
The game showed the potential of this innovation and
inspired a new way of using AR for apps. Ultimately, it makes apps more
engaging, fun, and educational.
home automation
It's no secret that we live in an increasingly connected
world, and now it's coming into our homes with smart devices. To provide users
with seamless integration, developers turn to SDKs to create apps capable of
controlling multiple smart devices around the home.
Apple's newly enhanced HomeKit and Google's Brillo provide
the platforms that make it even easier to develop apps for home automation and
control of IoT devices.
virtual reality
With Google Cardboard, virtual reality is now more
accessible. And it seems that Google is interested in expanding virtual reality
since Android allows developers to create virtual reality applications. Virtual
reality is incredibly versatile, which means it can be used by a variety of
industries.
There are a
plethora of apps available now, so make sure yours resonates with users by
incorporating one or more of these top innovations.
