SaaS solution, its one partner got concerned about signing up five-year

much due diligence. What would you say in your formal presentation to them?

3. “More than anything else, I would be worried about the
data security”, Mr Kausik started articulating his concerns after hearing the
presentation of BetaTech. “I understand this is not our customer data as we
will be collecting information from general public. But they will be sharing
their personal details because they are sharing it with us. Our brand stands
for trust and unless we are 100% sure that this data will not be seen or used
by anyone other than us, we can’t go ahead with this solution.” Mr Kausik ended
his statement while reaching out for a glass of water.

organize an online competition on personal finance awareness. The proposal
described how BetaTech will not only develop the IT solution but will entirely

Emerging Technologies: IoT, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
Internal
Assignment Applicable for June 2020 Examination
1. Urban performance currently depends not only on
a city's endowment of hard infrastructure (physical capital), but also, and
increasingly so, on the availability and quality of knowledge communication and
social infrastructure (human and social capital). The latter form of capital is
decisive for urban competitiveness. Against this background, the concept of the
“smart city” has recently been introduced as a strategic device to
encompass
modern urban production factors in a common framework and, in particular, to
highlight the importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)
in the last 20 years for enhancing the competitive profile of a city. The
demand for smart cities has increased in recent years. In order to meet the
demand of a smart city project in a country like India, with the help of any
smart city project in India explain what are some of the key elements for such
smart cities and also mention their importance. (10 Marks)

Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging form of experience in which the Real
World (RW) is enhanced by computer-generated content tied to specific locations
and/or activities. Over the last several years, AR applications have become
portable and widely available on mobile devices. AR is becoming visible in our
audio-visual media (e.g., news, entertainment, sports) and is beginning to
enter other aspects of our lives (e.g., e-commerce, travel, and marketing,
education) in tangible and exciting ways. Facilitating ubiquitous learning, AR
will give learners instant access to location specific information compiled and
provided by numerous sources. Educators around the globe today have realized
that AR/VR are big breakthroughs when it comes to learning — for a method as
well as outcomes. AR has great potential in democratizing the educational
process and making it a personalized learning experience for learners of all
stripes. Simply put, augmented reality or AR is a multi-sensory interactive
experience that involves real-world elements in a virtual environment. It is
known to offer perceptually-enriched experiences to users by using real-world
elements and adding a layer of information or
visual
aid on top of it in a natural manner. The most common examples of AR technology
is seen in animated emojis these days on smartphones such as Apple iPhones,
Samsung Galaxy series and more. In the industrial context, AR applications can
help with on-the-go learning for maintenance and troubleshooting, systems
maintenance work and other computer-aided learning and training. The primary
reasons why AR is believed to be the future of learning and education include
better learning retention, personalised learning experiences, increased
possibilities of experimentation, reduced reliance on learning by rote,
empowering educators and learners, encouraging active learning. Classrooms in
the future will not look like they do today. AR will see a prominent push in
the next 3 to 5 years in India, and most schools will have dedicated tools.
Higher education will see faster adoption for AR tools, given that the
technology is already present in such institutions.

1. The
healthcare industry is inundated with massive volumes of data generated each
minute. With the adoption of electronic health, mobile health and wearable
technologies, this is poised to increase dramatically over the next few years.

data
from medical insurance companies to name a few. Would this data be classified

Big Data Techniques. (10 Marks)
2. Digital music is gaining firmer ground in India. 56 percent
of digital music revenue in Asia comes from music streaming. Players like
Gaana, Hungama, Saavn, Wynk etc. offer users to stream music online and save
songs offline with a premium subscription. They have grabbed a significant
share of the audience who have given up the traditional methods of downloading
music to streaming it online. Advertisers and telecom providers have also
joined the bandwagon. The primary reasons for this growing popularity can be
attributed to the rise in the number of digital natives, improved internet
connectivity, more localized curated song lists, personalization of content,
competitive pricing, huge library, availability across different platforms,
simple user interface and sharing digital music with others across social
platforms. How can the music industry use analytics to predict future hits, describe
current trends and recommend best offerings for customers? (10 Marks)
3.
Retailers use analytics in a variety of ways. Specialty retailers use video
analytics to study customer paths and behavior, helping them to design more
effective store layouts. Big Box retailers invest in Wi-Fi networking and new
mobile way-finding apps to help customers navigate through large stores or
malls, getting them to desired products faster. Resorts and hotels are
investing in mobile analytics to gather shopper information from their retail
spaces. Mall operators are using the network to track social media and shopping
patterns, and delivering this value-add information to tenants. Grocery and
fast-moving goods retailers are utilizing video analytics for traffic and conversion
analysis, and then using the same information to integrate workforce management
and re-align staffing based on traffic trends. Specialty retailers are using
social sentiment analytics to
improve
“voice of the customer” feedback to assess overall brand status and the launch
of new products, services, or offers. Retailers can use analytics tools to
measure traffic, wait times, and queue lengths, proactively anticipating
resource demands across the store. For example, front-end staffing demand in grocery
can be anticipated using a combination of real-time traffic counting, trip time
data, and data on staff on hand. Resources are thus dynamically allocated based
on real-time information, improving productivity of labor hours and improving
customer satisfaction. Through presence and location-based mobility analytics,
retailers pinpoint the location of opt-in shoppers when they are close to a
store location. With personalized reminders or discount offers sent directly to
their smartphones, consumers are more motivated to visit the store if they are
nearby. Combining social and mobile analytics with loyalty information,
retailers can create personalized, more relevant engagements with shoppers. For
example, say that a customer enters the shoe department. Their store history
shows that 60% of past purchases included a coupon. The retailer can improve
the chance of another sale by sending, in real time, a special offer or
communicating through Twitter about a current promotion. Such communications
change the customer/store relationship from transaction-based to more
value-based, creating more sustainable brand loyalty.
