• Generative AI: Generative AI can revolutionize industries, including creative arts, design, entertainment, healthcare, and manufacturing by automating content creation processes and enabling the generation of highly customized and creative outputs. Google’s Bard and Open AI’s ChatGPT as per Statista. For instance, Indian startup Neysa, a Mumbai-based artificial intelligence (AI) cloud and platform-as-a-service startup, received $20M in seed funding in 2024, led by Matrix Partners India, Nexus Venture Partners, and NTTVC.
• Small Data: Small data are datasets that leverage personalized analytics on compact datasets, facilitating insights in marketing, healthcare, and customer analysis. Businesses leverage personalized analytics with small datasets to enhance strategies in marketing, healthcare, and customer feedback analysis. Further, the utilization of AI, IoT, real-time datasets, and edge computing technologies help enable faster insights and responses.
• 3D user interface for Immersive Gaming: 3D user interface for Immersive Gaming helps improve player immersion and engagement by utilizing interactive features within virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environments. Innovations with hand gesture controls, spatial UI elements, and dynamic feedback help to improve usability and immersion. Emerging segments have encouraging development possibilities for the immersive gaming sector, while prospects for geographic expansion differ depending on infrastructure, consumer uptake, and regulatory concerns.
• Battlefield Robots: Battlefield robots can be divided based on the space in which they are utilized: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). Battlefield’s key applications include Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), firefighting, safety and rescue (SAR) operations, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), mine clearance, transportation, and combat support. Advanced robotics, cloud sensor networks, and complex system integration are reshaping battlefield strategies, with potential applications in ISR, EOD, and combat support.
• Electronic Miniaturization: Electronic miniaturization (EM) refers to the integration of small, compact circuit designs into devices to reduce their size and weight. Further size reduction and the addition of more features with higher functionality at lower costs are the goals of innovation and are directed towards shrinking the size further and adding more features with increased functionality at low costs. The global microelectronic industry is expected to reach approximately $656 billion by 2028.
