The future of computers is a device that is not only smarter than today's, but also more aware of habits from day to day lives of their users, said Justin Rattner, Intel Chief Technology Officer. During this morning's keynote presentation at the annual Intel Developers Forum San Francisco, Rattner defined by the new generation of context aware devices.
“the question of how relationships change because these changes the device from the device only to the assistants, and even companions,” said Rattner. “We believe that awareness of the context of the computer is ready for a fundamental change in how the deal with equipment and response. Future devices will ever learn their habits, the way it all day. They understand your friends how you feel. perhaps more importantly, they know where you're going and anticipate needs. “
Rattner said that as devices are beginning to understand how their users live their lives, they can become a personal assistant. Within five years, smartphones will be aware of information about users of laptops, desktops and tablet systems, and use this knowledge to help guide them through their daily acitivities.
Think about the smartphone that lets you know when there's a shop selling shoes in the area, or alerts users to suburban traffic congestion on the routes, or that rain is forecast.
During the keynote, Intel demonstrated application developed by Fodor's, the publisher of tourist information. Join forces with Intel, Fodor's has created a prototype smartphone applications, which guides the user as they tour a new city. Context awareness of the shepherds of users all over the city like New York or San Francisco, which suggests acivities and sights to see in the neighborhoods they are passing through.
Fodor proposal also aims to provide guidance on which restaurant you're hotel is preferred by a user's kitchen, and how much money he is generally willing to spend......
