Echo ONE Podcast #9: What Does 2030 Look Like for IT & Mobile Workers?
Here are a few of my favorite soundbites and mobile tech predictions from Brian this episode:
“AR has a real place in the enterprise. … In the enterprise, where you’re doing everything from ‘how do I fix things on an assembly line’ to ‘how do I do inventory,’ that becomes really interesting.”
“A device isn’t a tool; this is just a device. It’s the mixture of the app and the device … that becomes the tool. And when the tool becomes transparent—not invisible, but it needs to stay out of the way—it enables you to get your job done more quickly, more efficiently. It allows you to be more productive. You start to use it and you don’t even think about what you’re using.”
“Basically, you want ‘Her,’ you want to be Joaquin Phoenix. You want an AirPod or something else that you can talk to and get what you need. … That gets back to contextual computing. … I think that is a big deal as far as, if you know the context, if you can help people make better decisions faster, that’s a big deal.“
