I’ve been messing with my phones features, and I’ve had ideas in my head about how i could use the sensors on it, so it got me thinking about new technologies, or ideas that could use those sensors to do interesting things. Haven, (an app i found while browsing f-droid) uses the sensors in a very interesting way, it can detect whenever the phone is moves, if theres a loud noise in the room, and other cool things, the point of it is to secure private spaces. This is a practical use for the sensors on a phone. It could also be used in creative projects as a trigger, such as a light being switched on, the phone then turns on the heater automatically. (I wish i could be like Mike Rober, and build anything i wanted.) (Picture kinda related)
Or alternatively, more efficient software which doesnt need fast CPUs to run smoothly.
one doesn’t exclude the other
os components, graphics libraries, games, native app frameworks are already pretty optimized, so significant improvements in efficiency and speed can only be achived via hardware improvements
at the same for example time desktop apps are still dominated by electron, so this area could use a lot of software improvement
