Personalizing our physical world

The Accenture Federal Technology Vision 2022: Government Enters the Metaverse looks at four technology trends poised to disrupt government over the next three years. Trend 2: Programmable World – Our Planet, Personalized considers how we can bring the best of our digital lives to the material world.

This trend is driven by the convergence of 5G, ambient computing, augmented reality, smart materials, and other technologies infusing unprecedented control, automation, and personalization into our physical environment.

Joining Chris Copeland, Accenture Federal Services CTO, for this episode are Jessica Bannasch and Rick Driggers, coauthors of the Trend 2 report. They discuss the importance of 5G in delivering the interactivity users expect, how federal agencies are employing digital twins, and managing the security risks created by a fabric of sensors.
