3D Technology, Near Field Communications and LED Lighting
Three up-and coming technologies are will soon be everywhere. These technologies are 3D Technology, Near Field Communications and LED Lighting.
- 3D technology is quickly taking over the electronic world. Phones can now shoot in 3D using 2 different cameras to obtain depth. In addition TVs are now being made with 3D technology which can be used at home.
- NFC is Near Field Communications, using electromagnetic fields to read information. Phones can use this technology to pass on payment information much like with credit cards. This ability should be coming out in multiple phones by spring at the latest. In addition, NFC is already being used throughout entire countries, such as a few in Europe for example. What about security with these devices? Differing security systems can be used for this type of technology. It can verify you identity by a face scan, by a password, or some other form of identification. In addition, it can only be read from a very small read range (as little as one inch), which can be adjusted by the user. For example, if the device has a read range of only 1 inch, it cannot be read by someone else across a parking lot.
- LED lighting is also quickly becoming adopted nationwide. It is low voltage, safe, energy efficient, and long lasting. Soon they will be the lighting means of the future. They will be in buildings, cars, and pretty much everywhere.
