We seem to have almost every form of media around us: from virtual
reality technology bringing people for collaborative projects across different
places and in different time zone, to live social streaming and feeding
platform such as Twitter which receive instantaneous update on breaking news,
we seem to already achieve every possible means of communication.
It is no doubt that we have
achieve great leaps in development for information technology, however, many of
these technologies are done through an intermediary: almost all our existing
technologies depend on going through a form of middle exchange for us to carry
out any form of operation.
What would it be like if we can
bypass these middle exchanges, and interact directly with the console or
machine? I got this idea based on the movie "Tron Legacy", a great
film that talks about the possibility of people getting into a total-submerge
experience, and creating a scenario where we really get into the places and
experience it for ourselves, instead of the surrounding experience we currently
have.
Although, there are films or
movies that suggested the possibility of such a technology, we are still far
away from an actual, fully-deployable prototype. I'm excited to keep a look-out
for such technology.
I think a lot of different aspects of this technology would have to be considered in order for this to become a reality. If this is more than a virtual world type of simulation then safety would be a big concern. Making sure the consumer is safe at all times and not hurt by the world they are in is a big concern. If some type of technology would come out that would make it so it would be a virtual world but our entire body was in it, instead of just our eyes being exposed to it, then that would be a very interesting idea.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about the same thing! I Think Virtual Reality is really the next new. However to reach the extents that you mentioned will take a long time for now.
