The Future

Look out: 5G in 2020! • Massive wireless data push • Cloud-based processing & rendering • Capturing of 3D Data 5G + data from autonomous vehicles + individuals with their devices = *networked spacial mapping extravaganza *

New tech: Blockchain

aka “Distributed ledger” : a record of assets or any kind of content that is shared, replicated, and encrypted

so it becomes a verified and immutable source of truth.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Conversational UI

As of October 2016: We’ve achieved human parity in conversational speech!

Nice job, Microsoft team
