Metaverse, 5G, AI, and other technologies that you should know could be game changers in 2023

Technology evolves so quickly that what appears to be 'hot' now becomes obsolete in a matter of months. We look at the technology that will redefine people's lives and be a true game changer in 2023. ChatGPT, a new buzzword, is an AI-powered tool that has the potential to transform the online experience.

AI has previously operated in the shadows, doing its work without being noticed, but this is about to change. Google has already declared a 'Code Red' and will emphasize its AI prowess in 2023. Microsoft, which is already invested in ChatGPA, plans to expand its capabilities. AI may become a reality as soon as 2023. In 2023, a new, unified standard for the Internet of Things (IoT) Matter will make its presence felt in smart devices. The matter has the support of Apple, Google, Samsung, and Amazon. The Matter will make it easier for various smart home devices to collaborate with minimal fuss.

If you have a Matter-enabled smart home device, which will be plentiful in 2023, you will be able to control it more easily using Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. Although not a mainstream technology by 2023, the combination of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) will become more prevalent. Apple is already rumored to be working on a mixed-reality headset/glass that will be released in 2023. Apple's headset will be a niche product, but with its technological prowess and uncanny ability to keep people in its ecosystem, it has the potential to change the narrative for AR and VR. Expect other players to jump on board as well.

Metaverse is an all-or-nothing bet for Mark Zuckerberg. Be assured that the Metaverse is a long-term bet and that we are still in the early stages for almost everyone. Microsoft and Nvidia have ambitious plans for the Metaverse, but nothing that will cause you to sit up and take notice in 2023. Right now, there is a lot of noise and very little action in the Metaverse. The true impact of the 5G rollout will be visible in 2023. Cities are gradually being covered by 5G services. As a result, expect a frenzy of activity, with interconnected devices making a big splash. Only 5G-ready smartphones are currently available in India, but more 5G-ready devices will be available next year as coverage expands to reach more users.

As India saw the launch of much-anticipated 5G services in the final quarter of 2022, the coming year is likely to see a rapid rollout of its services, resulting in numerous opportunities for mass adoption. According to industry leaders, the coming year will serve as a foundation for future innovations across sectors and may prove to be a watershed moment. Powered by India's promising growth roadmap, 2023 has the potential to provide the impetus required for India to become digitally ready and lead technological advancements for the rest of the world to follow. Roll out of 5G services also means greater innovation and adoption of new-age technology as well. Anku Jain, Managing Director, MediaTek India says his company will expand its 5G portfolio to 5G Thin Modem, redcap & wearables, automotive telematics, and industrial M2M/IoT, and focus on emerging trends like Metaverse, Wi-Fi 7, and power management applications in computing & storage of the future.
