Emerging Technologies : IoT, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality

Dec 2020

 

 

1. Virtual reality refers to interactive images or videos which enable the viewer to explore the entire 360 degrees of a scene. Unlike a regular image of video, which is shot from a fixed view point, VR production captures every part of a location. In the travel industry, virtual reality can be used to capture tourism destinations in a unique and immersive way.

This is achieved using specialist cameras, rigs, and software. The finished content can then be viewed on either a VR headset or a regular computer or mobile device. Many people assume that VR content can only be viewed on a specialist VR headset but this is not the case. You have been appointed as a consultant to a travel company Kesariya, who plans to implement VR technology. What are the different ways in which Kesariya can use VR? What benefits will the company have in using such technology? (10 Marks)

 

SOLUTION:

 

Introduction:

 

Virtual Reality is a technique where a three-dimensional environment is artificially simulated. The simulation is a computer-generated program which helps the user to interact with the environment artificially.

 

To enable Virtual Reality below are the electronic devices required,

 

 

2. Schneider Electric announced the launch of ‘Easy Homes', bringing Internet of Things (IoT) to power homes. Easy Homes empowers customers to manage power in their homes through a single app, the company said in a statement. With four interfaces, it can be operated through Alexa or Google Home, smart phone, remote and switches to control power usage in the house, it said. It converts homes into a smart home, turning every switch and appliance into a connected device, the company said. Easy Homes can be installed without changing the existing electrical setup, upgrading homes in just about four hours, the statement said. Mention the names of companies and their products that offer smart home solutions. What are the security threats when using smart homes?

SOLUTION:

 

 Introduction:

 

Comfortable homes are where all the switches and appliances are connected to a single device through an available app. It makes the homes into a smart home, where the power is connected to a single device. Most of the new development are accommodating these Easy homes. However, where there are already existing homes, they need to be upgraded.

 

Concept:

Many companies are offering their products to consumers for Smart Home Solutions. Let us comprehend the same

 

 

3. Augmented reality can be defined as that technology that allows adding virtual elements to a real image that is visualized through an electronic device. For this, markers or codes are usually used so that, when focused on an adapted device, it projects a virtual image onto a real image, thus creating a transformed reality. Augmented reality in education is part of what are called emerging pedagogies.

These teaching techniques are defined as those pedagogical ideas that arise around Information Technologies and that propose new educational approaches based on collaboration, interaction, creativity and innovation. The objective of augmented reality in education is to build environments with a high degree of participation and interactivity, in which the student is able to build, design, modify, experiment and become much more actively involved in the learning process. Augmented reality is a relatively young technology. It has been used in the educational field for years, but there is no doubt that its implementation is still scarce. There is still a long way to go to take advantage of this technology in the classroom, but there are already numerous ways to integrate augmented reality in education.

a.      How can AR be used in providing management education? Explain the benefits of using AR in management education? (5 Marks)

 

SOLUTION:

 

Introduction:

 

Augmented Reality (AR) reduces the gap between real and virtual. AR is a technology that allows the computer-generated virtual imagery information to be overlaid into a live direct or indirect real-world environment in real-time. (Azuma, 1997).

 

Concept:

Let us comprehend the uses of AR in providing management studies:

A roadmap for AR development in education is as under:

1.      Define the target
