Exploring Synergies with Emerging Technologies
In the previous chapters, we saw that IoT technology helps merge real and virtual worlds, where data from the real world is aggregated or processed at a central location, and generated insights are used to trigger actions back in the real world. This capability allows us to develop very rich, diverse, and useful applications. However, this capability is enhanced multifold if we combine IoT with other related technologies (such as blockchain, metaverse, generative AI, and others) – the sum is more than its parts.
The chapter covers the main technologies that can effectively complement IoT, but the list of technologies is not exhaustive; listing all the technologies is not practically possible as new technologies are continuously emerging. Additionally, this chapter intends to provide you with a glimpse of the possibilities that exist when we combine IoT with other technologies (art of the possible). However, like any other technology...
