Technologies

Artificial Intelligence

Study and design of "intelligent agents", systems that perceive their environment and take actions that maximize their chances of success.

Augmented Reality

Live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (supplemented) by computer-generated sensory inputs such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

Holography

Science and practice of making holograms. Typically, a hologram is the photographic recording of a light field (rather than an image formed by a lens) used to display a fully three-dimensional image of the holographed subject, which is seen without the aid of special glasses or other intermediate optics.

Virtual Reality

Immersive multimedia or computer-simulated reality replicates an environment that simulates a physical presence in places in the real world or an imagined world, allowing the user to interact in that world. Virtual realities artificially create sensory experiences, which can include sight, hearing, touch, and smell.

Mobile Computing

Human–computer interaction that involves mobile communication, mobile hardware, and mobile software. Communication issues include ad hoc and infrastructure networks as well as communication properties, protocols, data formats and concrete technologies. Hardware includes mobile devices or device components. Mobile software deals with the characteristics and requirements of mobile applications.

Nanotechnology

Manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also referred to as molecular nanotechnology. The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers.
