The Next Generation of Apps Will Be All About You
Posted in: UncategorizedI had a dream last night that I was hiking along a stream with my family. It was the same path we’d hiked and geocached dozens of times. Except this time, Siri’s voice interrupted our hike and asked if we’d like to play a game.
An app appeared on my phone, and using GPS, our hiking history and topographical maps of the area, it had created a real-time obstacle course, complete with a map, times to achieve and “land mine” rocks to avoid. The app had proactively invaded our routine hike by creating a totally new experience.
When I awoke, I wondered if I had read about such an app, or if it was truly a dream. Concluding that it was indeed a dream, I knew the article that had inspired it. Earlier in the week, I had read about fitness apps that are personalized using individual goals and GPS technology.
