With the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and the Internet of Things (IoT), the smartphone in your pocket can do more for you than ever before. As they continue to advance, smartphones are replacing other devices like cameras and remote controls for household appliances. Mobile apps are even replacing software previously only accessed on a computer, such as graphic design, photo editing and video editing software. Here are four impressive and leading-edge ways you can use your smartphone today.
1. Play Virtual Reality Games
You can take your gaming experience to the next level with a smartphone and a mobile VR headset. Unlike a 2-D screen, a VR headset immerses you in the game and makes you feel like you’re physically the avatar. If you like shooting down zombies in a post-apocalyptic world, you’ll enjoy playing BattleZ VR. For a fast-action outer space mission to save the world from a menacing parasite, play Vanguard V.
2. Control the Temperature of Your Home
The Internet of Things means your smartphone isn’t the only smart device. With apps like the new Lorex Smart Home App, your smartphone can “talk” to your house and allow you to control household devices without getting up. For example, within the app, you can change the temperature on your Nest thermostat. When you connect the app to your Amazon Alexa, simply tell her to change your thermostat setting when you’re too hot or too cold. Or, use the app from anywhere in the world to control the temperature in your house while you’re away. This smart home app also lets you access Spotify and Apple Music without having to leave the app, so you can tell your smart home what music to play without having to access multiple apps.
3. Edit Video Footage
Smartphones these days are not only replacing video cameras, but also video editing. With apps like LumaFusion and Pinnacle Studio App, you can edit clips on your phone right after taking them. It’s not just the basics, either. These apps are capable of multi-track video editing and adding effects like motion graphics, titles and transitions. By editing and exporting the final product on the same device used to record the video, you can quickly put together a great video anywhere, without a bag of equipment.
4. Have a Personal Assistant
With the help of an AI-enhanced app, you can turn your smartphone into your own personal assistant who’s available 24/7 at the command of your voice. AI platforms like Robin and Edison Assistant can help you with everything from scheduling to shopping. They save you time on your smartphone by doing actions for you at the command of your voice, such as sending a text or adding something to your calendar. When you need to be reminded of an important event at a certain time, you can just ask the app to remind you.
Getting More From Your Technology
With the latest apps found on your phone’s app store, your smartphone can make life more convenient than ever before. Whether you need to access your home’s appliances or be reminded of an important task, as the saying goes: ”there’s an app for that.” Virtual reality and AI technologies are now supported on mobile devices, enabling technology to get more done for you, on just one device.
