Technology is rapidly improving, offering new innovations and revolutionary
projects every year. At any given moment, scientists, engineers and some very
sharp minds are out there creating the next piece of future technology that
will change our lives. It can feel like scientific progress is steady but we
have lived through a period of immense technological improvement in the last
half century.
Here are some of the technologies that we will encounter in near future and
change our lives for better good.
1) Nano-Robotics
2) Holoportation
3) Smart Lenses
How Nano-Robotics Work:
The area of nanomedicine is one that is advancing so rapidly that doctors could
soon be piloting miniature robots through your body to diagnose and even battle
illness. It is expected that within 20 years, molecular manufacturing will have
reduced the size of robots to roughly the size of bacteria, meaning they can
enter the body to spot and even cure disease.
The miniscule robots could be programmed to behave like a white blood cell,
seeking out illness-causing bacteria or germs, latching onto them and slicing
them up into molecules too small to do any further damage. Doctors could then
remove the robots by using an ultrasound signal to direct the robots toward
the kidneys where they would get washed out in urine,
Another
potential use for nanorobots in medicine is actual surgery. A set of
chromosomes would be manufactured outside the body and attached to a
nanorobot. This would head straight toward a diseased cell, remove the damaged
chromosomes and replace them with the healthy ones.
Another
fascinating area of study is anti-ageing. Researchers have managed to restore
the health of cells in a two-year-old mouse making it as fit as a
six-month-old mouse. By injecting
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) into the mice, scientists
increased the level of communication between cells. This is very important, as
a lack of communication between cells is heavily linked to diabetes, dementia
and cancer. It's hoped that this scientific breakthrough will ultimately be
proven successful in humans.
How Holoportation Works:
Previously we discussed
hologram technology
and how it works and advance form of this technology is Holoportation.
Holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high-quality
3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed and transmitted anywhere
in the world in real time. When combined with mixed reality displays such as
HoloLens, this technology allows users to see, hear, and interact with
remote participants in 3D as if they are actually present in the same physical
space. Communicating and interacting with remote users becomes as natural as
face-to-face communication.
Microsoft's I3D research group has figured out how to create a live hologram
of another person to be placed in another room. A massive array of 3D cameras
in one room captures an entire person's movements and speech in real time,
then projects them into another room where a HoloLens user can see them and
interact with them.
Today, holoportation becomes even more real as the Redmond software giant
announces Microsoft Mesh – a new mixed-reality platform powered by its Azure
cloud service. Like its previous holoportation concepts, Microsoft Mesh relies
on "3D capture technology to beam a lifelike image of a person into a virtual
scene."
How Smart Lenses Work:

Smart lenses are contact lenses that display information such as routes,
weather and your Facebook news feed into your peripheral vision. At the
moment, the most likely team to crack this is
Innovega with its iOptik Contact lens, but this system still uses a pair of
glasses that project semi-transparent screens onto the lens: The lens contains
optical micro-components that change the angle of the light, focusing it into
the pupil. This helps the wearer to focus on the near-eye object they
otherwise wouldn't have been able to.
It is hoped that within three years a working prototype will be available that
does away with the glasses entirely, using a micro-camera embedded into the
lens itself. It is already possible for technology to be implanted into a
contact lens. A team from South Korea has mounted an LED onto a normal contact
lens, which shows the potential of adding technology to these optical aids.
Stay tuned and healthy to witness future until next time.
