Check out these 6 mobile app development trends that are expected to rule in 2016.
3. #1 Internet of Things
Many things were already connected using IoT technology. IoT is
rapidly advancing and reinforcing businesses to introduce more and
more smart devices and wearables continually in the market. It has
extended to a great extent enabling almost every device to connect
to another device. In 2016, we can expect that IoT will grow to its full
potential and take centre stage.

4. #2 Augmented Reality based Services
AR technology is continually progressing since the last couple of years and is expected to turn into the next big
technology trend. It is being implemented by various organizations to create an immersive user experience and
engagement. In the coming year, we will see more augmented reality integrated mobile app launches that deliver amazing
experiences for customers and larger trades for businesses.

5. #3 Virtual Reality
VR is likely to hit the market enormously this year. Initially, VR was majorly limited to gaming, with the devices like
Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear, and Google Cardboard. However, in the future, VR is expected to extend beyond gaming.
If VR takes off, it will transform every business, from entertainment to commerce.

6. #4. Beacon & Location based Services
Beacon and location-based services have already gained awareness
among several businesses. These services will introduce a new
world of possibilities for many prospects that help to interact with
potential customers. Lately, the retail businesses have adopted this
technology vastly. They use it to deliver the right information at the
right place as customers walk by. We can expect that this trend will
continue to gain force this year and will spread largely into various
businesses.

7. #5. Artificial Intelligence
Last year, AI went mainstream. Major companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter made massive investments
in AI. And few of those largely invested companies also open-sourced their tools. Hence, in 2016, AI may transform the
market by companies discovering new ways to apply AI.

8. #6. Cloud-based App Development
Cloud technology integrated mobile apps will help to address the growing use of various smart devices and
wearable technology. They provide the ability to sync all of our devices and apps across multiple devices. In 2016,
this booming cloud-based app development technology will grow further and is expected to play a significant role
in the mobile app development.
