Digital trends have been all the craze over the past decade, and they seem to match just about every type of application except a few that look better in their true form.
Take for example, a sculpture, when we take a picture of it, it doesn’t have that 3D realistic view. Another example is taking pictures of your pets, although this seems fantastic as you have these memories on your cellphone or camera, it’s not the same as having a physical oil painting like that from Instapainting.
Although it might take some time to catch the reflection and feel of an oil painting and be bold like a 3D sculpture technology inspires to take us to whole new levels of fascination and trends.
Today, we will look at the five greatest expected tech trends for this 2017.
