Since last few years, Startups have rapidly gained momentum, both in terms of growth as well as presence across our lives. From our roads to our screens to right in our sense of sight.
Since last few years, Startups have rapidly gained momentum, both in terms of growth as well as presence across our lives. From our roads to our screens to right in our sense of sight.
As a result of this, the way Startups present themselves through technology has changed massively. While standard user interface designs and interaction models still work on our smartphones, there are new ways and new techniques constantly being perfected for the end user.
These technologies and their enhancement of user experience through design and development has given birth to a never before nexus of Startups and web development companies. Ingenious startup web development solutions are now the buzz of the market.
Here’s how Startups and Web Development and Design can form a powerhouse in 3 major fields for coming decades:
What is often referred to as Naturalized User Interface (NUI). NUI includes touch, voice, hand gesture and thought. The progress started right in 2007 when Apple introduced multi-touch interfaces in the mainstream. In 2010 Siri enabled voice interactivity. Products like xBox Kinect and Leapmotion constantly redefine the boundaries between gestures and interface reactions. Not to mention thought control has long stopped being science fiction and became a massive ongoing research with Emotiv touted as one of the prime example of “brain-computer interfaces” being developed with electroencephalography (EEG) research.
The tech industry is going through a paradigm shifts. As new technologies arrive, users and inventors alike are asking how will this new idea benefit the society. Value based growth has become the new norm.
As a result, high value apps and websites such as Dropbox, Medium have boomed across the web because they provide engaging user experience along with require information. Similarly high utility apps such as Uber , Lyft have created a strong impression with Uber recently raising $61 million for its funding and investors considering it worth $3.4 billion.
Another field of interest is high engagement applications and websites, such as Quizup, Snapchat, Whatsapp where evaluations often base on the user base and how often they use the mentioned apps. Which is why while Whatsapp was bought by Facebook for a staggering $19 Billion dollars, Snapchat too was given an offer of $3 Billion.
Wearable technology, especially HUDs have gained leaps of faith and great feedback since Google Glass. While adapted only by around 10% of US population, Google Glass is hopeful and constantly working on its interface and development. Experts place a 300 million unit sell by 2016.
Similarly, fashion and functionality are joining hands with cool products such as Oakley’s Airwaves, Nike Fuelband etc.
The latest news in wearable tech was when Android developers announced a project of Smartwatch. A sleek, streamlined interface developed for and embedded in a round dial watch which syncs up to your smartphone. Designers and web developers across the world took note and several virtuosos are posting their own interpretation of how the user interface design on such a device should work and look.
Technology is changing. It is certainly becoming more streamlined to our day to day needs as well as our preferences. More intelligent, more intimate. Where this nexus of Startups and web development takes us next, that we leave it up to you, dear startups.
