Mobile Input Technology Trends
The Keypad
Current state of text prediction
60% Lesser Number of Key Taps Needed
What is driving this ?• Better Language models, Accurate user behavior models
• Adaptive Learning using prior user conversations
• Connecting with social media text
NASSCOM Annual Technology Conference 2013
The Keypad 2.0
And in the future:• Using user-context in more powerful ways
• E.g. predict whole sentences
From plain vanilla layoutTo personalized layout

Mobile Input Technology Trends
What About Touch
From Touch To Gestures
Driven by: • Advancements in capacitive touch screen sensor processing in tandem with proximity sensing
(e.g. Apple)
• Miniaturization of IR Depth Sensors (e.g. The Structure Sensor)
• Advancements in camera-array processing (e.g. Pelican Imaging)

Mobile Input Technology Trends
And Voice?
From Speak NOW To Always Listening
Driven by: • Advancements in Voice Data Models – Multi-lingual / multi-demography
• Improvements in natural language processing. E.g.
• Low power sensors which distinguish voice command “active” mode

Mobile Sensor Technology Trends
Proliferation of Sensors
Delivering Novel Use-cases and Utilities• Say, a more personalized UI (when Mobile is in Hand and facing)
• Navigation Inside-buildings (without GPS)
From Few sensors
To multi-sensor Fusion

Mobile Computing Technology Trends
Contextual Computing
Delivering Novel Use-cases and Utilities• A more personalized phone book (Who am I likely to call? E.g. Shifu)
• Anticipatory News discovery (What news am I more likely to read now?)
From near-zero personalization
To algorithmic engines that provide near-exact suggestions
---
Uses multiple activity data
NASSCOM Annual Technology Conference 2013
Mobile Computing Technology Trends
Collaborative Computing
More Novel Use-cases around Collaborative Computing• Connect motorists looking for a parking spot with others about to leave one. E.g.
• Book hotel reservations from people who can’t use theirs. E.g.
From Personal Navigation
To Collaborative Navigation: Real people Outsmarting Traffic Together

Mobile Computing Technology Trends
Wearable Computing
Key Drivers• Always ON and low power (SOC designers making “sensor hub” devices)
• Less distracting when integrated with natural user interfaces, E.g. Voice
• Deliver more value than the mobile alone: E.g. Fitness bands
Could be hands-free with wearables
