Have you been following Sensorium news lately? Then you’ll be aware that Grammy award-winning superstar DJ & Producer David Guetta was the first artist announced to join Social VR platform Sensorium Galaxy to create a series of exclusive performances in PRISM world. 


Today we share a behind the scenes video showing the process of creating his photorealistic avatar for his forthcoming shows.
 
Sensorium Galaxy will create a unique immersive experience and the next level of interaction between artist and fans.

## Step 1: 3D Scanning

InnerPics.jpg

As outlined in our [press release](https://sensoriumxr.com/articles/david-guetta-joins-social-vr-platform-sensorium-galaxy), the first step to turn David into a photorealistic avatar is to conduct a full-body 3D scanning. On this occasion, the Sensorium team picked the [Rouge Mocap Studio](https://www.rougemocap.com/), an industry-leading facility based in Los Angeles.
 
Using a state-of-the-art photogrammetry rig consisting of 250+ cameras, we were able to perform a highly detailed body scan and FACS blendshapes (Facial Action Coding System). 
 
“We capture every minute detail of [David’s] appearance. His costume, his look, his hair, everything. We capture every bit of his likeness in every facial expression he makes, every tick, every microexpression. We capture the true essence of David,” explained Vince Argentine, CEO of Rouge Mocap Studio.

## Step 2: Motion Capture

InnerPics copy.jpg

After the 3D scanning was completed, David moved to the next stage — Motion Capture. As the name suggests, this step is all about capturing the movements that make the avatar not only human-like but also seem alive. 
 
For this process, David had to wear a motion-tracking suit and perform one of his shows on a stage surrounded by over 100 Vicon motion capture cameras.
 
“We have David perform in front of a DJ deck and we capture all of his signature moves. You’ll actually be able to see David performing with photo-realistic quality in VR at Sensorium Galaxy,” added Vince Argentine.
 
## Step 3: Post Production
 
Here’s where the magic really happens. Our top-notch graphic experts work every detail to ensure that David Guetta is no longer one of his kind — but two.

Rachel Breia

Artificial intelligence has been a recurring theme of the silver screen since its earliest days, captivating (and frequently, horrifying) audiences with the prospect of sentient robots capable of equaling mankind’s unique traits like consciousness and ability to feel emotions. Over the decades, potential technological advancements were imagined in a myriad of ways. But more than that, sci-fi movies have also asked questions related to the moral, ethical and societal consequences of the use of technology like AI. In this article, we will be listing the 23 Best artificial intelligence movies that you can watch in 2022. So, in no particular order, let's dive in:


Best AI Movies The Matrix .jpg

It’s been over two decades since audiences were invited to take the red pill and question everything they knew about reality with the Matrix. This cyberpunk masterpiece is set in a not-too-distant future where a robotic AI system has enslaved human beings who are, however, unaware they’re trapped inside a simulated reality. Computer programmer/ hacker “Neo '' stumbles upon the truth and joins a rebellion together with others who had been freed against the Matrix, setting off an epic showdown between humans and dark-suited, sunglasses-sporting ‘Agents’, who’re in autonomous software programs. It’s hard to capture the full extent of the movie’s visionary concept. And what is the Matrix after all you may ask? Well, to quote directly from the movie, “You can’t be told what the matrix is, you have to see it for yourself”. The Matrix series remains a must-watch even after all these years. 

**Synopsis:** Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you couldn't awaken? How would you know the difference between dream and reality? When a beautiful stranger (Carrie Ann Moss) leads computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth- the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence. Neo joins legendary and dangerous rebel warrior Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) in the battle to destroy the illusion enslaving humanity.

**Directors:** Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski
**Top cast:** Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Joe Pantoliano.
**Critic's rating:** 80% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Ex Machina.jpg

With the debate over artificial intelligence and whether the technology will ever become fully conscious as the starting point, Ex Machina follows a young coder as he gets to spend a week at his reclusive boss’s remote mansion, testing his latest creation - an AI robot. The task is to determine whether the humanoid, Ava, is capable of demonstrating humanlike intelligence. However, not everything is as it seems, as the humans behind this tech project come to find out, with some fatal results. This brilliant AI movie has also won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects. 

**Synopsis:** Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) , a programmer at a huge Internet company, wins a contest that enables him to spend a week at the private estate of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), his firm's brilliant CEO. When he arrives, Caleb learns that he has been chosen to be the human component in a Turing test to determine the capabilities and consciousness of Ava (Alicia Vikander), a beautiful robot. However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either man imagined.

**Director:** Alex Garland
**Top cast:** Alicia Vikander, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Sonoya Mizuno.
**Critic's rating:** 92% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.1/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Blade Runner.jpg

When it comes to the best sci-fi films, it's hard to top Blade Runner. Based on author Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’, Blade Runner is the quintessential cyberpunk classic that plunges viewers into a dystopian universe from which is hard to escape untouched. Set in a neon-lit 2019 LA, the movie pits bioengineered humanoids (human replicants developed without the capacity to have emotions) against real humans. After six Replicants escape to earth in a bid to locate their creator and extend their limited life span of four years, a Blade Runner, played by Harrison Ford, is tasked with finding and shooting these humanoids.

**Synopsis:** “Blade Runner” Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with.

**Director:** Stanley Kubrick
**Top cast:** Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James.
**Critic's rating:** 89% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies 2001 A Space Odyssey.jpg

Visionary director Stanley Kubrick set out to explore the idea of human coexistence with sentient computers in outer space in this futuristic epic that will have you thinking of red lights in... shall we say... a very different way. We won’t unveil much as to the why, but the cult classic delves deep into the reliance of humans on technology - and what happens when intelligent robots simply decide to rebel and take over. It’s a pretty chilling thought, especially when this dark apocalyptic thriller gets to the now infamous "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.”

**Synopsis:** An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer intelligent system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

**Director:** Stanley Kubrick
**Top cast:** Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Douglas Rain.
**Critic's rating:** 92% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.3/10 IMDb


A.I. Artificial Intelligence Movie Poster

Best AI Movies A.I. Artificial Intelligence.jpg

Stanley Kubrick had long planned to adapt author Brian Aldiss’s sci-fi short story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long into a movie before his death in 1999. Afterwards, Steven Spielberg inherited the rights to the tale, intending to follow through on Kubrick's original vision. The unrealized project became A.I. Artificial Intelligence, a film about David, a young cybertronic humanoid designed to help a couple overcome the absence of their ailing son. As a first of the kind, David is capable of having human emotions and the plot centers around his attempts to discover his true nature - and the secret behind his identity. Viewers are led to question the deeper issues behind using AI to create human-like systems and the collectible responsibility it should bring with it.

**Synopsis:** A robotic boy, the first programmed to love, David (Haley Joel Osment) is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee (Sam Robards) and his wife (Frances O'Connor). Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David. Without final acceptance by humans or machines, David embarks on a journey to discover where he truly belongs, uncovering a world in which the line between robot and machine is both vast and profoundly thin.

**Director:** Steven Spielberg
**Top cast:** Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Frances O'Connor, Brendan Gleeson, William Hurt.
**Critic's rating:** 75% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.2/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Minority Report.jpg

Making a comeback, just a year after the release of A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Steven Spielberg delved once more into AI technology with Minority Report. Starring Tom Cruise as Precrime police officer John Anderton, this neo-noir movie is set primarily in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia in a distant future, where PreCrime cops are able to arrest criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics known as 'precogs’. The dilemma arises when Anderton is accused of a future crime and has to run from his own unit while trying to prove his innocence.

Minority Report turned out to be predictive of modern computer science, foretelling technologies that have since become commonplace, including personalized ads, voice automation and gesture controlled computers. Even predictive policing, arguably Minority Report’s biggest theme, has become a reality nowadays. PredPol, an AI-based tool, has been deployed in approximately 40 agencies across the United States since 2012 to predict and prevent future crime.

**Synopsis:** Based on a story by famed science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, "Minority Report" is an action-detective thriller set in Washington D.C. in 2054, where police utilize a psychic technology to arrest and convict murderers before they commit their crime. Tom Cruise plays the head of this Precrime unit and is himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't even met.

**Director:** Steven Spielberg
**Top cast:** Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow.
**Critic's rating:** 90% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.7/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies The Terminator.jpg

This Arnie action-packed movie has become one of the most popular sci-fi movies ever made - and it may be the reason why so many of us are distrustful of artificial intelligence technology. In it, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a cyborg assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 by Skynet, a sentient computer, in order to kill the woman that would one day give birth to the man responsible for saving humanity against a robot threat. James Cameron’s dystopian machine dominance film explores the topic of AI consciousness, superintelligence and tech ethics.

**Synopsis:** Disguised as a human, a cyborg assassin known as a Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) travels from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). Sent to protect Sarah is Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn), who divulges the coming of Skynet, an artificial intelligence system that will spark a nuclear holocaust. Sarah is targeted because Skynet knows that her unborn son will lead the fight against them. With the virtually unstoppable Terminator in hot pursuit, she and Kyle attempt to escape.

**Director:** James Cameron
**Top cast:** Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn.
**Critic's rating:** 100% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.1/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies Robocop.jpg

Fascination with all things ‘cyberpunk’ reached fever pitch in the 80’s, not just with cult classics like Blade Runner (1982) and The Terminator (1984), but also greatly thanks to Paul Verhoeven’s human/machine action-packed revenge thriller - Robocop. The backdrop of this sci-fi movie is dystopian, crime-ridden Detroit where a police officer named Alex J. Murphy is recreated by a shady megacorporation - Omni Consumer Products - as a cyborg known as RoboCop after being murdered by a vicious criminal gang. The part-man, part-machine super-cop is then tasked with cleaning up the city’s streets, while struggling to understand some of his repressed (human) memories as they resurface. RoboCop is said to be the movie that first raised the issue of AI Ethics, laying out some of the potential dangers of misusing the technology. Despite being over three decades old, RoboCop remains one of the top artificial intelligence films ever made. 

**Synopsis:** In a dystopic, gang-ridden Detroit in near-collapse. In an effort to stamp out crime, the forces in power reconstruct the body of a policeman, killed on duty, within a steel shell and call it RoboCop. Plagued by memories of his death, he hunts down the supervillian responsible for it.

**Director:** Paul Verhoeven
**Top cast:** Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith.
**Critic's Rating:** 90% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.6/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies I am Your Man.jpg

This German romantic dramedy explores the growing bond between a skeptical scientist, Alma, and an artificial intelligence humanoid, who she is temporarily hosting as part of an experiment for a study. The robot, Tom, was designed specifically to recreate Alma’s idea of a perfect partner, being perfectly tailored to meet her deepest romantic expectations and needs. However, living with this almost pathologically perfect robot companion doesn’t turn out to be quite as expected, as deeper questions of existentialism and the interconnection between human life, love and technology seep through the relationship. More than a rom-com, I Am You Man is a thought-provoking take on the complexity of AI and the man-machine co-existence.

**Synopsis:** Alma is a scientist at the famous Pergamon Museum in Berlin. In order to obtain research funds for her work, she is persuaded to participate in an extraordinary study. For three weeks, she has to live with a humanoid robot tailored to her character and needs, whose artificial intelligence is designed to be the perfect life partner for her. Alma meets Tom, a machine in human form in a class of its own, created solely to make her happy. A comic-tragic tale about the questions of love, longing and what makes a human being human.

**Director:** Maria Schrader
**Top cast:** Maren Eggert, Dan Stevens, Sandra Hüller, Hans Löw, Annika Meier, Jürgen Tarrach.
**Critic's rating:** 96% Rotten Tomatoes, 7.1/10 IMDb


Best AI Movies WALL-E.jpg

Wall-E, turns out, is the only functional robot among the many other trash collectors tasked with rehabilitating planet earth. His life takes a turn when it comes across another robot named EVE, sent to oversee the cleaning progress. Unlike other movies on this list, WALL-E doesn’t involve any human-machine interaction, but it explores what would robots interact with each other if they had human-like intelligence. It’s a refreshing take on AI and technology, that is also sure to warm your heart a little bit.

**Synopsis:** WALL-E, short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class, is the last robot left on Earth. He spends his days tidying up the planet, one piece of garbage at a time. But during 700 years, WALL-E has developed a personality, and he's more than a little lonely. Then he spots EVE (Elissa Knight), a sleek and shapely probe sent back to Earth on a scanning mission.

Best Artificial Intelligence Movies: 20+ Titles To Watch Now

Best Artificial Intelligence Movies

Artificial intelligence (AI) is growing at an astonishing pace and as it continues unveiling new promises for the future, AI is also becoming an attractive investment proposition.

The first uses of AI can be seen in today's technology, with interactive apps, voice-driven personal virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, automated cars, and suggested search ideas seen on search engines like Google.

In the future, artificial intelligence will extend to devices that can autonomously learn and evolve, enhance and create new experiences and offer solutions that one day can match human intelligence. AI supercomputers are also being built to solve complex humankind problems and find solutions to issues like incurable forms of cancer, which will not only make today’s technology obsolete but will open the doors for an even bigger growth of the AI sector as a whole.

Over the next two years, the global artificial intelligence industry is expected to grow to $554 billion in total revenue by 2024, according to market research firm IDC.

And with virtually every major industry being disrupted by this technology, the opportunities for investors are becoming hard to ignore. With that in mind, here are the best artificial intelligence stocks to keep track of in 2022.


## 10 Best AI Stocks In 2022

<br>

### 1. [Nvidia Corp.](https://www.nvidia.com) (NVDA)

Graphics chip mammoth NVIDIA Corporation ranks at the top of the best artificial intelligence stocks in 2022. The reason why Nvidia is a well regarded company in the industry comes down to its high-end chips that power advanced artificial intelligence applications, including one of the world’s leading supercomputers, Leonardo, as well as its very own upcoming AI supercomputer Eos.

The company is not only a leader in providing chips with massive processing power, Nvidia is equally a major player in semiconductors that are needed to power a number of key technologies like cloud computing, data centers, AI and machine learning capabilities, gaming and, of course, the metaverse. In all, the chip company serves five primary markets—gaming, data center, professional visualization, automotive, original equipment manufacturer (OEM)

At its annual GTC conference, Nvidia unveiled an [extensive range of AI-focused enterprise products](https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/22/22989182/nvidia-ai-hopper-architecture-h100-gpu-eos-supercomputer) that includes new-generation chips with a processing power of as much as nine times higher than their predecessors. Nvidia's stock hit an all-time high last year as its gaming and data center GPU business fuelled growth throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

The end-end chipmaker has also seen a whopping 380% rally over the past three years, although analysts warn that that cycle might be cooling off. Over the past year, Nvidia's shares have provided a [total return of 73.1%](https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=NASDAQ%3ANVDA), well above the S&P 500's total return of 13.8%.


### 2. [Alphabet Inc.](https://abc.xyz) (GOOG, GOOGL)


Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet is currently the world’s largest AI company, focusing on a wide range of global online services. The California-based tech giant owns operations including Youtube, Google Cloud, Google Play, Android, Google Pay, Waze, among many others.

More importantly, Alphabet is a leading name in the artificial intelligence sphere, developing a diverse range of AI services and products, including a self-driving company named Waymo, AI voice interface Google Duplex and being the parent company of DeepMind Technologies, which is dedicated to developing general-purpose artificial intelligence technology (AGI).

In addition, artificial intelligence is deeply integrated into many facets of Alphabet’s business practices, from content promotion to ad pricing, and much more. 

Alphabet has managed to become one of the world's largest technology conglomerates, with a market capitalization of $1.75 trillion as of March, 2022. The company also posted a net income of $76 billion on revenue of $257.6 billion for 2021.

### 3. [Amazon.com Inc.](https://www.amazon.com) (AMZN)

Another key player in AI is Amazon. The e-commerce giant makes extensive use of artificial intelligence across its company wide operations.This includes the algorithms it runs for e-commerce searches, target advertising and Amazon Web Services (AWS). And there is, of course, the widely popular virtual assistant Alexa which is used by 40 million people in the US alone. Amazon might be better known for its e-commerce services but it’s quickly becoming a name to be reckoned with when it comes to AI. Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

There are many other projects in which Amazon uses AI, including [Amazon’s Prime Air](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Prime-Air/b?ie=UTF8&node=8037720011) delivery drones and fully automated grocery stores - [Amazon Fresh](https://www.amazon.com/fmc/m/30003175?almBrandId=QW1hem9uIEZyZXNo).

Earlier, Amazon’s founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos had said about the technology: ”Much of what we do with machine learning happens beneath the surface. Machine learning drives our algorithms for demand forecasting, product search ranking, product and deals recommendations, merchandising placements, fraud detection, translations, and much more. Though less visible, much of the impact of machine learning will be of this type — quietly but meaningfully improving core operations.”

While Amazon’s Q1 2022 revenue report was below estimates (it was the first quarter that the tech giant has posted a net loss in at least four years), Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue did exceed consensus estimates, seeing a 37% year-over-year (YOY) increase.

### 4. [Meta Platforms Inc](https://about.facebook.com/meta/). (FB)

Meta (formerly Facebook) has started to put increased focus and investment on its augmented- and virtual-reality products and services as part of its plan to build the metaverse. As part of this push, Meta has also doubled down on AI technology, building the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), which was hailed by the tech giant as the world fastest AI Supercomputer. Meta uses artificial intelligence to power things such as advertising algorithms and news feeds.

As of 2021, the company breaks down its financial results into two segments: Family of Apps (FoA), which includes the Meta’s main social media platform, Facebook, as well as Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and other services, and Reality Labs (RL), which includes the company’s augmented- and virtual-reality products and services like the Quest VR headsets. Meta also recently announced it would be opening its first physical store - the [Meta Store](https://about.fb.com/news/2022/04/meta-retail-store/).

Meta reported a year-over-year growth of just 7% in the first quarter of 2022, the slowest pace of expansion in Facebook’s 10-year history as a public company.

In its most recent earnings report last week, Meta forecast a potential year-over-year revenue drop in the second quarter. Despite the recent tumble, analysts still put Meta at the top of AI stocks to keep an eye out for in 2022.

### 5. [International Business Machines Corp.](https://www.ibm.com) (IBM)

IBM has decades-long worth of research and development of AI applications, most notably its AI supercomputer Watson, which is currently a major competitor alongside other AI companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon. As one of the best tech stocks to watch this year, the cloud and software firm works with top companies spanning a number of industries, from finance to healthcare law and academia, to improve software applications and data analytics. IBM also offers consulting and hybrid cloud infrastructure to clients. In recent years, the company has placed great focus on becoming a leading provider in the hybrid cloud segment and AI that can be beneficial for companies looking to digitally transform their businesses. IBM reported a net income of $5.7 billion at the end of 2021, up 2.7% compared to the previous year. IBM is an AI stock you really want to keep in your list of potential investments in 2022.

### 6. [Microsoft Corp.](https://www.microsoft.com) (MSFT)

No tech stock market can be complete without mentioning software giant Microsoft Corporation as it's undoubtedly one of the top AI stocks in 2022. Continuing a trend seen in recent years, Microsoft has continued placing significant investment on AI and cloud computing services under the [Azure platform](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/). Microsoft's cloud computing network was built with the objective of training AI models to produce complex AI infrastructures for developers and organizations. The company also runs Context IQ, an AI application targeted at Microsoft employees that helps search, predict and create suggestions. Microsoft's third quarter 2022 financial results saw the company posting a revenue of $49.4 billion and net income of $16.7 billion, beating expectations across the board.

### 7. [Palantir](https://www.palantir.com) (PLTR)

Serial entrepreneur Peter Thiel’s Palantir is a software development and data-mining firm that specializes in leveraging big data and AI to provide insights and analytics for a wide list of clients The company's primary business centers around secure data analytics software and management to the government and private organizations. Palantir's [Gotham](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/gotham/) platform collects and mines data for government agencies while [Foundry](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/foundry/) provides similar services for large enterprise clients. Palantir also runs the [Apollo](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/apollo/), which has been crucial in using artificial intelligence in space exploration. Palantir Technologies reported fourth quarter revenue that rose 41% to $1.54 billion at the end of 2021. Ridding the AI boom to the fullest extent, Palantir can be a promising investment when it comes to AI systems and AI data applications.


### 8. [Intel](https://www.intel.com/) (INTC)

Like Nvidia, Intel is a leader in the graphics processing units and CPU industry. The company also develops systems for cloud servers, self-driving cars, and AI technology. In particular, Intel has invested in AI hardware and software, including the Nervana processor, which is a deep learning processor. The chipmaker also has another AI processor dedicated to developing neural networks and visual recognition - Movidius. All in all, the company offers to clients an AI developer ecosystem that provides end-to-end software resources including optimized tools and frameworks for data analytics, traditional machine learning, and deep learning. Intel beat on the top and bottom lines for the first quarter of 2022, posting $18.35 billion in revenue. For all these reasons, Intel is among the top stocks to buy this year.

### 9. [C3.ai, Inc](https://c3.ai). (AI)
 
C3.ai is an enterprise AI software provider, which develops artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to helpe large organizations optimize and streamline operations. As a leader in the AI industry,  C3.ai's recent contracts include a five-year deal with the U.S. Department of Defense worth $500 million. In 2022, the company has announced an expansion of AI-based services that extend to finance, healthcare, agriculture, life sciences, manufacturing, and more. The company's tools have been recognised as some of the best for companies to become more efficient across the cycle of operations, including chain management, energy efficiency, and customer engagement. As a younger company compared to others on this list C3.ai is yet to turn a profit, but given its best-in-class offerings that have been adopted across many industries and the AI solutions it has developed, this is still one of the stocks to consider this year.

### 10. [SentinelOne, Inc.](https://www.sentinelone.com) (S)
 
Last but not least, we are highlighting SentinelOne as the company is a leader in the AI software market. In particular, the firm offers both on-premise and cloud-native cybersecurity to organizations, which puts it ahead of competitors with just one of those offerings like CrowdStrike. By making extensive use of AI, SentinelOne can reduce its dependence on human analysis and active internet connections to activate its solutions, while leaving powerful artificial intelligence algorithms and AI technology more broadly to stay ahead in the market. The approach appears to be paying off as the company reported a 120% jump in revenue to $204.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.


## Final Thoughts

Investors should know that investing in artificial intelligence ought to be treated like any other stocks - we suggest you do your own research, assess the fundamentals of each company and make sure you’re investing money you’re comfortable with losing in case of a market downturn (which, hopefully, won’t happen to you). That said, the companies listed above are suggestions and they don’t constitute financial advice on our part.

Side by side with the VR greats like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx, augmented reality titles are also making waves of their own, with immersive experiences that players can instantly step into with just their smartphones quickly becoming a fan favorite.

They’re immersive and interactive, but what else makes augmented reality games an awesome playing experience?

Let’s dive right into the top best AR games for Android and iOS users to find out.

## Best 11 Augmented Reality Games In 2022

<br>

### Pokémon Go ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.pokemongo&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pok%C3%A9mon-go/id1094591345))



Pokémon Go Best AR Games.jpg

Launched in 2016, Pokémon GO is arguably one of the biggest global gaming sensations, having been downloaded 1 billion times. Yes, you read that right. This augmented reality game is part of the wider Pokémon franchise, which includes video games, movies, anime series, manga, a collectible card game, and much more.

The game is centered on fictional creatures called Pokémon (short for pocket monsters) that players, known as Pokémon Trainers, have to catch and train so that their pets are able to battle other Pokémon for sport.

Unlike the video game version, Pokémon Go makes use of augmented reality technology to anchor gameplay to real-world locations. How does it actually work?

If you’re not yet familiar with the game, Pokémon Go uses your mobile phone’s camera, GPS tracking feature and clock to detect when and where you’re located. It then superimposes fantastical virtual creatures on top of whatever real-life environment you’re surrounded by.

As you move around, different types of Pokémon will keep appearing. Imagine coming across a bug-type Pokémon while going through a park or a sea creature when approaching water. And have we mentioned the ghostly creatures that only come to life at night? Yes, there’s truly a Pokemon for every occasion. Well, actually, there are currently over 730 Pokémon species available.

More than just playing a fantastic game, Pokémon Go is also meant to encourage players to visit world historic landmarks and points of interest, known as ‘Pokestops’.

The app is free to download. However, there is an option to use in-game currency called Poké Coins, to buy Poké Balls and help capture Pokémon).

Given that developer Niantic provides regular updates, even the more experienced players are unlikely to get bored with Pokémon Go, especially since mythical and legendary Pokémon are only released in special events or quests.

This particular app also counts accolades, including being named “Best Mobile Game” by the Game Developers Choice Awards and “Best App of the Year” by TechCrunch.

**Synopsis:**

With Pokémon GO, you'll discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own! Pokémon GO will use real location information to encourage players to search far and wide in the real world to discover Pokémon.
The Pokémon video game series has used real-world locations such as the Hokkaido and Kanto regions of Japan, New York, and Paris as inspiration for the fantasy settings in which its games take place. Now the real world will be the setting!
The Pokémon video game series has always valued open and social experiences, such as connecting with other players to enjoy trading and battling Pokémon. Pokémon GO’s gameplay experience goes beyond what appears on screen, as players explore their neighborhoods, communities, and the world they live in to discover Pokémon alongside friends and other players.


### The Walking Dead: Our World ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextgames.android.ourworld&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-walking-dead-our-world/id1328359160))



The Walking Dead_ Our World.jpg

It’s hard to think of the 2010’s TV show scene without The Walking Dead coming to mind. The AMC’s hit series certainly put the fears of a zombie apocalypse into many of our hearts, and yet we couldn’t get enough of it. And while it came to an end earlier this year, The Walking Dead is far from being a done and dusted experience. Thanks to the AR game based on the show, you’re still able to experience all the horrors of living in a post apocalyptic world where you’ll have to fight off zombies and other infestations in order to survive. 

The Walking Dead: Our World relies on Google Maps and augmented reality technology to enable location-based experiences. That means you’ll be able to fight off the undead in places like your local park or supermarket, using some of the game’s many weapons, including grenades and guns. On top of that, players can summon the help of some of the show’s popular characters like Rick, Michonne and Daryl. 

According to developer Next Games, “The fans love how the show encourages you to ask, ‘What would I do in a zombie apocalypse?’, and in this game we aim to let players explore this hypothetical in a way they’ve never experienced before.”

 For all these reasons, The Walking Dead AR experience is one of the best augmented reality games you can try out today.

**Synopsis:**

The zombie apocalypse has begun. The zombies, otherwise known as “walkers”, feed off living human beings and have taken over our neighborhoods. In order to survive, you’ll need your gun and snipers ready to scavenge and hunt whether at your home, your neighborhood, or beyond, with the all-new FREE ROAM feature. With the fall of humanity, making friends and forming a team is the difference between survival and death.

### Jurassic World Alive ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ludia.jw2&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jurassic-world-alive/id1231085864))

Coming at the top of the best AR games in 2022 is another cult classic - Jurassic World Alive. Developed by Montreal-based game studio Ludia, this geolocation game brings awe-inspiring dinosaurs to life with the help of augmented reality technology.

The premise is simple (yet slightly terrifying): planet Earth has been invaded by dinosaurs and you’ve been tasked with capturing some of the 100 types of roaming creatures. Better yet, you’ll also get to design your original hybrid dinosaur using a special DNA system.

And since joining forces is always a good idea, invite friends to help you or battle against other players in real-time.

This augmented reality video game was first released in 2018 ahead of the Jurassic World Alive movie and has remained successful over the years, no doubt thanks to its addictive gameplay.

**Synopsis:** 

Bring dinosaurs to life in Jurassic World Alive! Dinosaurs have returned to rule the Earth, and they’re roaming free in your world. Explore your surrounding area to find your favorite Jurassic World dinosaurs, including new breeds that are more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before! Discover your world and collect epic dinosaur DNA to level up and create hybrids in the lab. Craft the perfect strike team and take them into battle in real-time player-vs-player matches.

AR Sports Basketball.jpg

So far, we’ve included a number of augmented reality games based on popular movies and TV shows. But if you’re a fan of sports instead, you might enjoy playing AR Sports Basketball. This AR game lets you shoot hoops anytime, anywhere you want. Yes, even when you’re getting a little bored at work and need a break.

There are three game modes available: Desk, Normal and Horse. The first two options present players with different hoops sizes that can fit into different real life locations. If you’re indoors, you might want to go with Desk while if you happen to be playing outdoors you might want to go with Normal and get much larger baskets to aim at.

And because all things fun are better shared with friends and family, the Horse mode will let you compete with up to 8 other players on the same device.

The game was previously chosen by Apple in the “Amazing AR Games” section during the launch of iOS 11, and has some amazing features you might want to know about, such as:

- Being a completely free to play game
- Simple gameplay.
- Normal mode with true scale.
- Desk mode for improved office productivity

### Knightfall AR ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aetn.games.android.history.knightfall.ar))






Knightfall AR.jpg

If you’re a history buff such as myself, Knight AR is the game you need to be playing right now. This augmented reality experience takes you back in time, to the world of the Knights Templar. 

Naturally, there’s plenty of sword fighting, battling and castle-taking to go around. Your task as a brave knight is to defend the city of Acre from an invading army and ensure that Christianity’s most prized relic, the Holy Grail, is protected.

Keep an eye out for Mamluk warriors before they manage to outwit you and breach through the castle’s defenses. Keep up your resistance with slingshots, arrows, fireballs and rocks you can throw at your opponents.

This immersive medieval world has a rather challenging single player mode, but you’ll also have plenty of fun playing against friends and family if you choose to do so with the multiplayer option.

Bottom line: if you're looking for a great strategy game to spend your time, Knightfall AR is the perfect title for you.

### Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovio.abar&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-ar-isle-of-pigs/id1456120259))


Angry Birds AR_ Isle of Pigs.jpg

Who doesn’t remember the Angry Bird frenzy that took over the world a few years back? Well, they’re back. Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs is a twist on the classic Angry Birds game. With the help of augmented reality technology, users can witness the game unfolding in real time, right in front of them, in a first person 3D perspective. 

Players of the original version might recognize the gameplay: your goal is to use the Angry Birds slingshots, shooting birds at the piggy-constructed towers that exist in the player’s own environment. Make sure to take out all of the pigs that are hidden behind the 3D virtual structures. It’s truly hard to get bored with Angry Birds AR as there are lots of levels to get through, each with a completely new setting. 

But don’t get fooled by how easy this AR game might seem at times. After all, you’ll need to get three starts to truly conquer Angry Birds AR - and that won’t be an easy feat.

### Five Nights at Freddy's AR ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.illumix.fnafar&hl=en&gl=US), [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/five-nights-at-freddys-ar/id1473886685))

### Harry Potter: Wizards Unite ([Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.hpwu.prod&hl=en&gl=RU))





Harry Potter_ Wizards Unite.jpg

From the makers of Pokémon GO, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite was a real-world augmented reality (AR) game that allowed players to experience wizarding in a whole new way. Despite garnering a fair amount of interest, this particular title was removed from online app stores at the end of 2021 after failing to attract the same level of hype as Pokemon Go.

Given the popularity of the Harry Potter franchise, one can only hope that the AR game will make a reappearance, with significant enhancements sometime in the future, which is why we’ve still decided to include Harry Potter: Wizards Unite on our list of Best AR games.

Top 11 Augmented Reality Games

When you start getting serious about holding and trading cryptocurrencies, it is time to get a blockchain explorer. Trading crypto without a blockchain explorer is very much like trying to use the internet without Google. You’re left very much in the dark because the reality is, most people don’t fully understand what blockchains do. 

Blockchains are essentially public databases so a blockchain explorer allows cryptopreneurs to search for information on the blockchain. There are a lot of good options to choose from so to make it easier, we’ve selected some of the best blockchain explorers around. 

## What is a blockchain explorer?

A blockchain explorer is basically a search engine that allows you to conduct searches and easily navigate through a blockchain to track and trace blockchain transactions. Bitcoin and altcoin traders rely heavily on top blockchain explorers to keep track of and confirm transactions on the bitcoin network among others. 

You can track the balance of public addresses, coin transfer histories and transaction confirmations. It provides an easier way to manage and view cryptocurrency. To think of it simply, blockchain explorers are the Google of the crypto world. It is important to note that you need to use a blockchain explorer that supports the blockchain you wish to track. If you try using a Bitcoin block explorer to track Ethereum transactions, you’re not going to get very far. 

A blockchain explorer can also provide you with important decision-making statistics like the current hash rate, fees, transaction dates. In addition to this, the best blockchain explorers will display the following information: 

- List of recent blocks allowing you to explore recently mined blocks
- Transactions in a given block 
- Transaction history of a given public address
- Existing and previous public address balances 
- Explore unconfirmed transactions via Mempool Status 
- The ability to search for blocks, transactions and public addresses
- View the largest transaction of the day 
- Double-spend incidents 
- Orphaned blocks 
- Genesis blocks (the first ever mined block) 


For a more technical explanation of how they, here’s a step-by-step overview: 

1. They use APIs, rational databases and SQL databases along blockchain nodes to fetch information from the network. 
2. The explorer software works by aggregating blockchain data to display in a searchable format. 
3. Users can then use the blockchain explorer to search for information on a blockchain network such as transactions, addresses and more. The explorer responds to search requests in the same way a search engine would by displaying a list of results. 
4. Search results are then displayed in a readable and easy to understand format. 



##  Why do we need blockchain explorers?

While a crypto wallet can provide similar data, it is limited to the keys the wallet manages. Explorers, however, can be used to view data on transactions carried out on all wallets on a given blockchain. They provide invaluable information to crypto investors and developers. Some of the benefits of using a blockchain explorer include: 

- Transparent transactions by enabling users to check the balances and transaction history of smart contract addresses;
- Check the validity of a blockchain address before sending someone crypto 
- Check whether the transaction has gone through to the correct person by checking wallet balances. It can give you a form of “proof of payment” to the receiver;
- Explorers can help you troubleshoot delayed transactions by picking up errors or displaying the stage of confirmation;
- Access to current information on fees and gas prices to help manage costs more effectively;
- They can aid wallet programmers to check whether the wallets are functioning as they should; 
- They can be used to corroborate data and confirm whether third-party software is working correctly; 
- Aid companies, individuals and groups in making better financial decisions



## Best blockchain explorers

When selecting the best blockchain explorers, we looked at a number of factors when making our selections. They have great user interfaces to make it easy to see the information you need most - obviously, this is the whole point of making use of a blockchain explorer in the first place. 

The most powerful blockchain explorer should also support the coins you trade and be compatible with your wallet provider. 

###  [Blockchain.com](https://www.blockchain.com/) 











Blockchain.png

Cryptocurrency users are increasingly drawn to using the Blockchair.com blockchain explorer. They offer more information than Blockchain.com which is the best blockchain explorer choice for users who need detailed transaction information. 

Users are able to search for transactions, public addresses, blocks and embedded data. In addition to showing information related to specific transactions, Blockchair.com also collects useful data including transactions per block, on-chain volume and circulation. 

Blockchair.com is the best blockchain explorer to search multiple chains. It supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Cardano, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Groestlcoin, Litecoin, Mondero and Ripple.   

### [Tokenview ](http://tokenview.com/)

## Conclusion

If you are serious about investing in cryptocurrency or are a wallet developer, it is essential to use a blockchain explorer. These web-based platforms make it quick and easy to view important information about blocks, transactions and the market to make better investment decisions. It acts as the official search engine for a blockchain (or multiple chains), allowing you to find a lot of valuable information about the blockchain. 

Blockchain explorers are an important tool in making the cryptocurrency community decentralized, transparent and open. It is very useful to be able to track transactions in real time in order to validate they were successfully sent and received by both parties. 

With the majority of explorers being web-based applications, it is quick and easy to access them. You can visit the website and enter the information you require to pull up results. If you need to look at the Mempool to view a pending transaction for example, you can do this by entering the transaction ID provided by your wallet or exchange. 

As we mentioned, explorers are not only for cryptocurrency investors. Those simply interested in blockchain technology and seeking to learn more about the various blockchains can use them to “explore” and analyze the blockchain. Interesting information such as the largest transaction of the day, genesis block and most recently mined block can usually be found on the dashboard. 

Despite the ability of these explorers to create a more transparent network, do not get complacent about following good security measures to keep your digital assets secure. It is still essential to always use a reputable crypto wallet. If you can afford to do so, a hardware wallet is always the best option for keeping your crypto as safe as possible.

A block explorer is a tool you should be using when searching for valuable information about a blockchain. Whether to check real-time or historical data, here are the best blockchains explorers in 2022. 



Best Blockchain Explorers In 2022

Blockchain hardware wallets are the most secure way to store your Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. A hardware wallet is a small physical device that safely stores your private keys in an offline location. If you are serious about trading crypto and the security of your digital assets, it is essential to invest in hardware wallets. Some seasoned traders even have multiple hardware wallets. There are a lot on the market so we will run through the best hardware wallets to help you make an informed decision. 

Hardware wallets can help crypto traders feel more connected to their funds and provide peace of mind that those assets are secure 24/7. Many traders may argue that most exchanges have reasonable security measures in place, but they are by no means bullet-proof. There have been a number of breaches over the years with some investors losing millions of dollars worth of crypto. Not worth the risk, right? A crypto wallet that offers cold storage mitigates this risk. 

You’ll find some exchanges that are a little shady or don’t invest enough in their security, unbeknown to their clients. Even if you are storing your crypto on the most well-regarded exchange, the bottom line is you are not in control of your assets. Your private keys are held by the exchange so if something goes awry, there is nothing you can do about it. 

The top crypto exchanges make security a top priority, often storing funds in cold storage - an offline mode that adds a layer of protection against hackers. Most will also require a Know Your Customer (KYC) process on sign up and have two-factor authentication in place. The drives that hold users private keys are sometimes even stored in highly secured vaults, lauded over by armed guards. Does this deter hackers? Definitely not…there is too much money at stake for them to steal. With new technological advances everyday, hackers can eventually find loopholes and ways around the most fortified security systems. 

In addition to this, is the question of ownership. You have invested in the crypto so should have full control over what is done with that investment, including having the keys to it in your possession. 

So what happens now if you decide you no longer want to store your crypto on an exchange. There are three options available to you. The first option is storing your crypto on a mobile wallet via a mobile app. Mobile wallets do provide you with greater control over your digital assets and give you more freedom to use the funds to pay for goods and services. Their downside? These crypto wallets are connected to the internet so remain vulnerable to attacks. 

Your next option is a paper wallet. With this route, you will print out your private keys, usually in the form of a QR code and store them somewhere secure. This does have its benefits, particularly if you plan on storing your crypto coins for years without selling or trading. 

The third option is a hardware wallet, the best crypto wallet for serious traders who hold large amounts of crypto. Read on for an explanation of what a blockchain hardware wallet is and for a list of the best hardware wallets. Each hardware wallet we cover below includes a very important security feature which is enabling backups of your private keys. This way if you ever lose your wallet you have the ability to restore your wallet and funds. It's vital to keep your security seed phrases somewhere safe to be sure you never lose access to your digital assets and lose money.

## What is a blockchain hardware wallet?

As mentioned above, blockchain hardware wallets are physical devices that allow you to store private keys offline (cold storage), adding a layer of protection against hackers and scammers. When you create a cryptocurrency wallet, you receive a public key and private key. The public key is used to generate your public cryptocurrency address so you can buy and sell crypto. The private key is used to verify transactions and confirm ownership of the crypto and wallet on the blockchain, essentially acting as your digital signature. 

If someone gets ahold of your private key, they have access to your funds. This is why it is vital that private keys are stored securely. When you create a hardware wallet, it will generate a mnemonic phrase - also called a seed phrase - which lets you recover your wallet if you lose it. 

Hardware wallets use two-factor authentication (2FA) so when you need to access your crypto, you will need to provide proof of identity through the physical wallet and wallet PIN code. 

Hardware wallets can be connected to your laptop, desktop or mobile device to safely manage and use your crypto. All transactions are facilitated on the device, preventing anyone other than you from accessing your private keys. There is a separate screen on the device where you can verify and approve transactions so that none of your private information is shared with devices connected to the internet. 

When selecting a hardware wallet, there are some important factors to consider:

**Security:** obviously security is of the utmost importance, so be sure you are choosing the most secure hardware wallet.

**Supported Coins:** there’s no use selecting a hardware wallet that doesn’t support the cryptocurrency coins you hold. Most hardware wallets hold the major coins like BTC and ETH, but if you hold a number of altcoins, some blockchain hardware wallets might not be suitable for you. 

**Costs:** if you hold a small crypto portfolio, then it doesn’t make sense to spend a lot of money on a fancy hardware wallet. Prices for hardware wallets vary so select one that is in line with the value of your crypto. 

**Buy Direct:** it is essential you only buy your hardware wallets directly from the makers. Some scammers may buy hardware wallets, extract the seed phrases and then resell them. When buyers load their crypto onto the device, the scammers then have access and can withdraw the funds. So never buy off eBay or any other marketplace other than directly off the suppliers website. 

**User-friendly:** the hardware wallet should be easy to use and set up. If the set up is too complicated, you run the risk of losing all your funds if you make mistakes. 

**Compatibility:** check whether the hardware wallet is compatible with the operating systems used by your devices.  

Hardware wallets can do more than simply holding crypto, in fact there are many useful things you can do with a blockchain hardware wallet. Software, like Ledger Live, that connects to your hardware wallet allows you to buy, swap, lend and stake cryptocurrency securely. In addition to this, you can access DApps, DEXs, NFT marketplaces and connect with software wallets by providing the public key. 

Some people confuse hardware wallets with Bitcoin wallets or other software wallets. A Bitcoin wallet doesn’t actually hold any Bitcoin. It is a piece of software that holds private keys. The keys give you access to your Bitcoins that you hold on the blockchain. 

When you use a Bitcoin wallet, you will be given a Bitcoin address, also referred to as your public key. If someone wants to pay you in Bitcoin, you will send them your Bitcoin address. Think of it as your crypto email address! 

The second key issued to you is a private key. The private key is what you use to access and control the Bitcoins you hold. You can think of your private key as the password to your email account. 

Not only does the Bitcoin wallet hold your private key, it also signs transactions on your behalf using the private key and shares them with the Bitcoin network. So when you want to send someone Bitcoins, you need to prove ownership of the coins in order for the whole blockchain network to agree to the transaction. The Bitcoin wallet will sign the transaction on your behalf using your digital signature (private keys) and broadcasts this to the network. It is a similar process to signing a cheque to authorize the transfer of funds. Bitcoin wallets are only a part of the picture, there are many other software wallets that support blockchains like Ethereum, Solana and so forth.  

A software wallet is vulnerable to attacks, especially if the device you are storing your software wallet on becomes infected with malware. This can expose your private keys to hackers. Malware allows hackers to take control of your device and see what is displayed on your screen. When your private keys have been exposed, you no longer have control over your crypto assets. 

## Benefits of cold wallets

### Private keys are under your control
When you store your crypto on an exchange, the exchange controls and holds your private keys. Storing your private keys on a hardware wallet gives you full control over their security and access.

### Enhanced security access
Hardware wallets provide offline storage - also called cold storage - of private keys which prevents any would-be hackers from getting hold of this sensitive information. All transactions are facilitated and approved on the device itself so even if the connected device is infected with malware or compromised, your private keys remain secure. 

### Compatibility with multiple blockchains
Most hardware wallets are compatible with multiple blockchains, especially common blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Many also support altcoins for traders who have diverse crypto portfolios. 

### Unaffected by exchange hacks
Even the most secure exchanges are susceptible to hacks. Hardware wallets mitigate the risk entirely by keeping your transactions offline. Your private keys remain secure and out of reach of hackers. 

## Top crypto hardware wallets
We have taken a number of important factors into consideration ranging from security features to design and features to compile our list of the 12 best crypto hardware wallets. 

### Ledger Nano S Plus


H3 Ledger Nano S Plus.jpg

Ledger Nano S Plus is an upgrade to the original Ledger Nano S. It has a greater storage capacity than its predecessor along with a bigger display screen to facilitate easier transactions (no more squinting!). 

It does not offer Bluetooth connections to your devices, so if this is an important requirement, the Ledger Nano X would be better suited to your needs. It has to be plugged into your device to connect. 

The Ledger Nano S Plus does allow you to access all Ledger live features and integrate with software wallets on various blockchains.

Because it lacks some features experienced traders may need and is significantly cheaper than the Nano X and Trezor Model T, it is a good option for beginners or to use as a backup wallet.  

### Trezor Model One


H3 Trezor Model One.jpg

The Trezor Model One is the original hardware wallet, first coming to the market back in 2011. It supports Mac, Android, Windows and Linux, but not iOS. 

The Trezor One has a less user-friendly design with 2 buttons instead of a touch screen. It does however have a decent 128 x 64 pixel OLED screen. The Trezor Model T allows the recovery and backup process directly from the touchscreen, so it offers a higher level of security for seasoned traders. 

Unlike Model T, Trezor One doesn’t support as many coins, have Shamir Backups or an SD card slot.  

As the oldest hardware wallet on the market and the first of the Trezor wallets, the Trezor One is pretty cheap and a basic, entry-level solution best kept as a back-up crypto hardware wallet. 

### Ledger Nano X

Trezor Model T is the next generation following the success of the Trezor One hardware wallet. Trezor Model T is up to scratch with all the same impressive security features offered by Ledger Nano X. 

It boasts an impressive color touchscreen with a legible display. It supports 1800 coins and tokens - less than Nano Ledger X but still compatible with the most popular currencies. If you choose to do so, you have the option to switch to a Bitcoin-only firmware to handle Bitcoin transactions exclusively, turning the Trezor wallet into a Bitcoin hardware wallet. 

The Trezor Model T is open source so continually updated and improved by experienced programmers. The software used in the Trezor One has been entirely rewritten to enhance the wallet’s security. 

The device supports Android, Mac, Linux and Windows but not iOS, making it unsuitable for iPhone users. Trezor Model T uses the Trezor Suite software to connect with your devices, with desktop or web versions. 

Trezor Model T is highly regarded as one of the best hardware wallets to securely store and manage your crypto. It seamlessly and securely integrates with a number of software wallets, only providing them with the public key and addresses without ever sharing your private keys.

The ShapeShift cryptocurrency trading platform created the KeepKey hardware wallet. Their mobile app has less than favorable reviews but they are making a move towards a decentralized exchange which will make for faster and easier exchanges without the cumbersome KYC process. 

KeepKey is well-designed, with a large screen to easily set it up and navigate through the wallet. KeepKey integrates with a number of software wallets and DeFi platforms. 

KeepKey connects to ShapeShift to make it easy to trade and exchange digital assets through ShapeShifts exchange platform. It supports over 40 cryptocurrencies. 

KeepKey is on the cheaper end, so it is a great option for beginners or as a back up hardware wallet. 

### Ellipal Titan

The Ellipal Titan hardware wallet uses air-gapped security measures. This means your Ellipal hardware wallet is physically, electronically and magnetically isolated from all other networks. 

The majority of hardware wallets use bluetooth or USB to connect to other devices, whereas the Ellipal Titan only uses QR codes to sign transactions through the Ellipal app. The entire circuit board of the Ellipal Titan is not compatible with WiFi, bluetooth or cellular connections, automatically blocking any and all physical connections to networks. This protects your device against remote attacks

The Ellipal has an anti-tamper and self-destruct mechanism in the event of offline attacks. When it detects an attack, it erases all information (such as your private keys) from the device. Your secret seed phrase can be used to recover the wallet. 

The 4-inch color touchscreen makes set up easy and gives your clear visuals when signing transactions. It supports over 40 blockchains and 10000 tokens. 

You can buy and exchange a number of cryptocurrencies or stake them for rewards using the Ellipal app. You can access and make use of Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain DApps using the DApps explorer. 

## The bottom line

If you are serious about trading and holding cryptocurrency and NFTs, it is essential to invest in cold storage of your digital assets through a reputable hardware wallet. The best hardware wallets do come with a price tag and the more features they have, the higher the cost climbs. The security these devices provide is invaluable, especially if you hold crypto worth thousands or even millions of dollars. 

As we mentioned in the beginning of this article, it is very important you always only purchase hardware wallets directly from the manufacturer. You run the risk of being scammed or falling victim to fraudsters when buying off of eBay and similar marketplaces. 

**For high-value traders:** the Ngrave Zero is without a doubt the best option, offering world first EAL 7 security standards and “Perfect Key” technology for the ultimate hardware wallet solution. With no connection to any networks, there is zero chance of your crypto being attacked making this the safest crypto wallet. 

**For NFT holders:** look no further than the SecuX Nifty, the world's first NFT hardware wallet that allows you to manage all your crypto assets in one place. 

**For Beginners:** crypto newbies don’t want to spend a lot on hardware wallets so KeepKey is an affordable entry-level hardware wallet.  

Ledger Nano X and Trezor Model T also come highly rated and aren’t badly priced. They are both feature-rich with great security.

Obviously technology can only go so far at protecting your crypto. If someone has you and your hardware wallet cornered and forces the seed phrase out of you, that is out of your control. The best way to avoid that unfortunate situation is to keep your crypto assets and fancy hardware wallet on the down low. Nobody else needs to know about the ins and outs of your crypto trading. That’s the best security there can ever be…privacy!
