When it comes to smartphones, Android phones have become very popular with Nigerians.
This is not surprising because anyone familiar with Android devices will quickly notice how user friendly and easily customizable Android smartphones are.

Big screen, touch-pad, sharp and bright rear and front cameras with high megapixel and flash light are some of the qualities that have endeared these smart devices to their users.

Also, long battery life, super fast charging and access to several thousands of paid and free apps available at Google Play store has made the Android operating system and its various types of smart devices truly a modern marvel.

Technologies utilizing the Android instruction set (Operating System, OS) have advanced so much that you can even speak to your SmartTV these days, commanding it through voice recognition and voice control to change channels or to adjust speaker volume.
I am sure you have already heard of autonomous (self-driving) cars currently making waves in the tech world.

This is just the beginning of so many advancements possible with the Android OS and devices that are designed to use it or run on that platform.

Little wonder the logo or symbol for ‘Android’ from the very onset of its introduction has always depicted a small Green Robot.
Yes, a robot. That is what all Android devices are meant to be.

And now, with the introduction of AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology to the Android world along with its various types of smart devices and fields of application, things are about to get a lot more robotic… even humans. Ever heard of Humanoids?
Look up the story of SOPHIA the AI Robot with human intelligence and interestingly, emotions, on the internet.

How about artificial reality or Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), have you heard about these as well?

Augmented reality is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real-world are “augmented” by computer-generated perceptual information often involving visual, haptic (vibrations), auditory (sounds), and several others methods to make the event look ‘real’ to humans.

On its own part, Virtual Reality involves computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with by a user or player in a way that is seems real or physically present, using special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a display screen, special VR goggles or gloves fitted with sensors.

While these two technologies (AR and VR) may seem far fetched and strange to a good number of Android smartphone users, you may already be using such technologies on your phone on a daily basis without realizing it.

A good example of such unknown use is with the use of Google Maps or Google Earth apps both of which employ an overlay of user generated location information, remote GPS coordinates, measurements from your phones Accelerometer, Compass, Gyroscope and GPS sensors and so many other dynamically changing parameters superimposed over ordinary (regular) map images.

This has the result of bringing the passive (paper-like) maps to live and from your Google Maps or Google Earth app interface, you can tell which direction you are facing (North, South West, East), you can tell your distance to where you are going and you can even get complete computer voice aided navigation instructions and arrows towards your desired...
