ContextTech Expo
Event Info
Description
ContextTech Expo, the UK's first Contextual Technology Event hosted as part of The Technology Expo held October 2015 in Central London.
Contextual technology & location based services is the most recent development in the progression of technology. It refers to the fact that technologies are starting to “understand” things about you and your environment – things like your schedule, your location, and your heart rate.
ContextTech Expo will be examining the future technology connecting our worlds, covering all aspects of the five forces of Context
• Mobile - Mobile devices now exceed people on
the planet, wearable computing is booming, data costs are dropping, and
app downloads have gone wild.
• Social media – Almost 1.5 billion people are on
social networks, and businesses are using them to connect with
customers, humanize themselves, and learn.
• Data – The size of the Internet is expanding at
an exponential rate – leading to the idea of big data. The ability to
have little bits of data delivered to us exactly when we want them will
really impact our lives.
• Sensors – Sensors in technology can emulate three
of the five human senses: sight, touch, and hearing. Sensors can talk
to us and to each other.
• Location-based services – location is one of the most important parts of our context and is the focal point around contextual technology.
