Introduction

In this article, I’ll explain Cutting-Edge Technology and some examples and applications of it. You may have heard this word often in TV advertisements for technical summits or developer conferences for tech companies.

You will be shocked if I tell you that cutting-edge is not like a new kind of stream of development. Such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Virtual Reality, etc.

However, it is the incorporation of the latest in high-tech IT developments that will fill the knowledge gap in the technology frontier.

Simply put, you can say that the application of advanced and high-tech innovation in real work and activity is cutting-edge technology.

It is not different from AI, ML, and VR but incorporates high-tech and advanced development in these fields. Are you aware of AI, ML, and VR?

Let’s see one by one what these three are all about.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans in their stance. These machines are capable of performing tasks that require human intelligence.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is the derived application of AI. It does a different job. It provides the system with the ability to learn from its previous experiences and improve its skills by observing the process without any pre-programming.

Virtual Reality

As the name suggests, virtual reality is a digital interactive technology that puts you in a virtual environment. Where you experience sensory projection and feedback in visual overlays like real-world interactions. Augmented reality and mixed reality are extensions of virtual reality technologies.

Which have been an integral part of many sectors like Software IT, Medical Science Technology, Virtual Gaming, VFX, and Micro-electronics, etc. The future advancement in all these fields will help enormously in many other sectors.

Let’s see a few examples and applications of Cutting-Edge Technology to strengthen our understanding.

Homomorphic Encryption-base Data

Homomorphic encryption is the latest emerging trend; this allows two or more parties to collaborate and compute together without revealing confidential data.

In recent times, the popularity of many intelligent assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, etc. has increased, and these devices are making their way into our homes. With more advanced technologies coming in the future, we will see the massive adaptation of these AI assistants in the industry and corporate world for human and AI interaction.

Sometimes we face technical glitches and network problems in elevator basements, tunnels, or other areas. With the aid of Wi-Fi and 5G, efforts are underway to bring always-on connectivity technology closer to reality to lessen this nuisance.

Massive Adoption

The recent pandemic has shed light on the latest medical innovations and advancements. Such as, messenger-RNA in food packaging, m-RNA can detect the presence of pathogens, including salmonella.

MR (Mixed Reality)

The MR mixed reality has made revolutionary changes in surgery by making it possible for surgeons to operate on a patient thousands of miles away.

Emerging Technology

The latest trends in cutting edge technologies are emerging in the healthcare industry. Education and training are not untouched by these technologies. They are going to play a significant role in learning any new skill. For example, a medical student, while training, needs to know the anatomy and deep internal structures, which is not possible. Here, technology can take the lead and help with visualization.

Virtual reality even allows surgeons to see their performance while operating virtually in a real-world setting similar to that of a patient.

In the last few years, quantum computing has matured from being just a field close to science fiction to becoming a substantial commercial and strategic global investment field.

Conclusion

In the upcoming five to ten years, large-scale gate-based quantum computers will make groundbreaking contributions to materials science, cyber security, 3D multi-sensor transmitter’s password-less authentication, advanced robotics, and many more technologies that are yet to break ground.

VR, AI, and MR have a lot of potential to combine to create compelling experiences that might be very helpful for learning. They provide us the freedom to be unrestricted by almost all of the affordances of the real world.

Like Machine Learning augmented reality, virtual reality, and Diminished Reality with Artificial Intelligence. It will complement and enlighten the existing features and provide support for more advanced development in the future.
