Leap Motion

The computer has come such a long way in such a short period of time that web development and software development companies, such as AB Soft, had to really put in an effort to stay current and ahead of the technology. Now, with computer interfaces going part the keyboard and mouse, there are certain major overhauls that have to be made for the interfaces to work. Enter natural input. Our eyes and the space around us may be the next big innovations on that front. For the past few years, a handful of companies have been working on eye-tracking and gesture control for computers. Now, there are signs that these natural input methods are almost ready for prime time. The future is still murky for these technologies. Microsoft could always spoil Leap Motion’s ascent with a better version of Kinect that could be embedded within future PCs and tablets. Any one of these smaller companies could be acquired by a tech titan like Apple or Google, and have its plans changed. In all cases, the success of these input methods depends on whether app developers embrace them — a shaky proposition when they’re not baked directly into the platforms they run on. Still, the launch of actual consumer-facing products is a good start.

Future of Tech in Cars and Outlandish Ideas

As we embark on a new year, most people will be looking to the future and trying to predict the new technology. For example, the CEO of Google Larry Page believes that computers will be the new norm when it comes to driving and beyond that. There are already plenty of driverless cars that roaming the streets of California. For a purely engineering point of view, it will enhance the safety of drivers. Throw in some more application development and the sky in the limit for tech. Picture this: your car could drop you off and then go park itself somewhere else and then whenever you need it, our phone notices that you're walking out of the building, and your car is there immediately by the time you get downstairs. Outlandish ideas and effective, pragmatic management rarely go hand in hand. What's remarkable about Page is that while he's been pushing his engineers and executives to pursue big dreams, he has also been running a complex $38 billion business of 53,000 workers with surprising efficacy. When he took over in April 2011, Google's once-phenomenal innovation engine was showing signs of age, and bureaucracy was beginning to take root. Page quickly reorganized the company to give top executives more responsibility and accountability and to sharpen Google's focus on a handful of product areas.

What Sets AB Soft Apart

Website Design is much more than code and graphics. There needs to be an extensive knowledge of the consumer and the customer base. The developers need to be able to put themselves in the shoes of the person who will be browsing that web site, looking for information. They also need to realize that the average person is not as tech savvy as they are. Designing a website takes not only knowledge, but passion as well. Whether it’s a simple website or a corporate e-commerce website design, all of the  website designers at AB Soft devote every ounce of effort to their projects. They are able to create websites that fit your business perfectly and are very dynamic which is important in the changing markets today.
