Today, Augmented Reality (AR) is most widely seen as a smartphone feature, the most commonly used area is games, and other applications such as the pioneer application IKEA. IKEA's Place gives an indication of how it could fit into our lives.

4. Virtual Reality (VR).

With an expected 50-100 million devices within five years. Several other display manufacturers are also entering the virtual reality market. From HTC Vive devices to smartphone platforms like Google Cardboard has also entered the race with the expectation of bringing high-tech products to its customers.

5. Tablets.

Also referred to as a tablet, is a kind of smart electronic device with a touch screen of 7 inches or more in size, a multi-purpose stylus can be used if in its design or in a clear way. Usually it is using fingers to perform information manipulations instead of keyboard and mouse as in laptops.

Because in the tablet computer, it brings a lot of similarities to the characteristics of the other two products combined. Therefore, it is loved by many people because of its special features and novel design.

6. Fingerprint sensor (and other biometrics).

Since the introduction of the fingerprint scanning feature on the iPhone 5s, its influence has been so great that ever since then, fingerprint scanning technology has become an almost standard issue on phones and tablets. and even a growing number of computers.

Today, along with the development of fingerprint scanning technology is declining, but replaced by facial recognition technology like Face ID is increasing and gradually being widely used. But all are derived from here.
