Telepathy by Machine - Fact or Fiction in 2025?

We are already seeing technical indicators that communications technology is heading in this direction. Rob Lewis, VP of Product Management at Telcentris, developers of VoxOx, will discuss how the evolution of intelligence-based technologies will not only completely change the way people use any form of communication interface, but they will also change the depth of our interactions and conversations with others. 

The areas where we foresee rapid technological growth include: 

• Communication of Intent - New technologies to enhance relationship building, particularly relevant for gender-specific communication styles: Rapport vs. Report 
• Individual Learning Preferences - Tools that will adopt real-time modality and medium switching based on the person's learning style: Auditory vs. Visual vs. Emotional vs. Kinaesthetic
• Behavioural Heuristics - Back-end platforms to assess an individual's expressions and actions to predict future behaviour and preferences 

Lewis will present an overview of the relevant technologies and technical foundation that exist today and provide examples of emerging technologies and brands that are already forging the way (from Google to Apple to VoxOx). He will address ways in which these emerging technologies will manifest themselves in new ways. For example, what will a video call be like in 2025? Will there be facial recognition technology that interprets emoticons in video to text? Or meta data that describes exactly what you're trying to say?  Or real-time text suggestions that impact how you speak with other parties? Lastly, he will discuss the concept of an emotional dashboard, which adds a new layer of logic in order to facilitate authentic brain- to- brain communication, translating our thoughts into something that is not foreign and is much less likely to be misinterpreted or misheard on the other end.
