CES 2018: New Avenues For Smart Communication to Enhance User Experience

Report Summary:
While robotics are still a long way away and VR is still in its infancy for consumers, the way we are going to communicate with our smart devices and applications will be changing much sooner than later. Voice will begin to dominate how we communicate with so many more devices while chatbots will look to do the same, with a more discrete approach to doing so where voice may not be so appropriate.

This report presents Strategy Analytics’ User Experience Strategies outlook on some of the technological advances announced at CES 2018 which can have an impact on the way we communicate with our smart devices, how robotics may help us in the future, and how VR is finally going to get some well-deserved compelling content.
