Have you heard about Zero UI ?

Being in tech world for a while, discussions related to new technologies and innovation areĀ not new to me. They happenĀ all the time !

And as a guy who likes to play in bleeding edge technologies, IĀ always want to show myĀ audience the next cool big thing.

As the name suggests, Zero UI is about removing the UI,Ā that isĀ acting as a barrier between the userĀ and the device, in order to provide a more seamless interaction with the technology.

Have a look at thisĀ video, you will get a better idea.

This is an example of MicrosoftĀ® Kinect for retail.

There are also a few new announcements in this topic, from GoogleĀ® as well, one underĀ theĀ name Project Soli, which is a radar-based wearable to control anything. Based on the assumption that ourĀ hand is the ultimate device for input, Project Soli is developing a new interaction sensor using radar technology. The sensor can track sub-millimeter motions at high speed and accuracy. It fits onto a chip, can be produced at scale and built into small devices and everyday objects.

In the search engine world, dominated by Google, DuckDuckGo is setting itself apart by going into an interesting niche: helping developers to write, review and fix code in open source repository every day.

When we are developing, we require access to code, examples, syntax help and answers to technical questions.

And can be annoying when we are looking for answers and still we are not clear what to do!

Next time, in a similar situation, you should give DuckDuckGo a shot.

To know more how to use DuckDuckGo for your webpage, you can have a look at this.
