Bridging the Gap Between Physical and Digital Worlds
Growing up, we laughed and gasped over the "Futuristic" scenes that were protratyed in sci-fi movies. From being constrained to just scenes that provided emotions via screens to coming to life and reshaping the entire concept of reality, digital transformation has made a trampolining impact on the digital landscape. The existing age is a perfect example of mixed reality that is created by the amalgamation of the digital and physical worlds. From finding the shortest route while coming back home to asking the digital assistance to shut the lights off as one proceeds to sleep, we are more surrounded by digital products than we might imagine. The convergence of physical reality with the digital vision to enhance life experience and increase convenience is the goal of sustainable digital transformation.
Developers and designers have always consistent efforts of bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds via digitalization, but this transformation was expedited shortly after the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. This was the time when people were totally confined within their homes and there was an expectation of experiencing most of the physical experiences virtually from the safety of their own home. We need digital transformation because it is essential for businesses and organizations to adapt. thrive, and remain competitive in today's fast-paced and technology-driven world and provide a seamless experience to people at their convenience. Embracing digital transformation allows companies to streamline processes, enhances efficiency, and deliver better customer experiences. It enables the integration of data-driven insights, automation, and innovative technologies, leading to improved decision-making and the ability to stay ahead of market trends. Embracing digital transformation is not merely on option, it is a necessity to stay relevant, agile and future-ready in an increasingly digital and interconnected landscape.
Digital Transformation?
Geospatial Navigation and Tracking
Navigation and tracking of goods, people, vehicles etc. are made possible via collecting real-time geospactial data. The coordinates of an area doesn't change over the time but the state does. For example, roads don't change but a road might be blocked due to maintenance, or any other issue. It also allows the tracking of goods, vehicles, etc. seamlessly and with utmost precision.
Enhances customer experience
It doesn't stop at proving customers with an elevated shopping experience. Customers can further track the exact status of their products after checkout, thus, enhancing the experience of online shopping even more
Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality or mixed reality is a technology that allows people to map virtual items against real-world entities. For example, furniture companies provide the experience of putting their furniture pieces against real-time pictures of the house settings and analyzing what looks best, retail brands create virtual trail rooms where people can get the in-store experience from the comfort of their homes without any rush.
Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality is the technology that enables the creation of a simulated environment that allows us to interact with the digitally created world more naturally. VR finds its application in gaming, entertainment and healing procedures. Patients with immobility are provided with an experience of the natural world digitally, which helps them heal faster and better.
Data Analysis
Real-world data is collected and analyzed to elevate virtual experiences. This finds its application in controlling the temperature smartly and automatically, finding the best-fitting path based on traffic and other parameters, smart fridges giving an alert on what needs to be replenished based on the freshness level of avaliable food, making the transportation autonomous etc.
