You have seen the technology in use in a few films like Iron Man and Lost in Space but now it seems that we can finally make holograms we can touch.
It may not sound like much but using that technology we can get make tools that can manipulate objects of any size and get feedback on what is going on. At the moment when a person holds an egg in their hands they feel their hand tightening on the shell and experience tells us when to stop squeezing or it will break. No feedback means we could crush peoples hands via robot arms because we don’t know we are squeezing too hard. So it takes a lot of experience to manage remote arms without the feedback. Now of course it won’t.
Imagine building robots which you work on visually on your desk whilst a small arm actually builds a real robot in a booth. Imagine then that scaled down by a factor of 10, of 100, or even 1000 and we could even build the little robot builder units that way until we get too small to see without enhancements. So we build a little flying bug, test it then make some design changes on our desk we can quickly prototype another. Now imagine that same technique the other way when we can build units bigger than we do now in the same prototyping way.
Then of course there is things when we can’t actually work at the moment, such as the bottom of the ocean, in space, in a reactor. This should open these areas up and make them less risky. Bit like the pilots for the Predators being safe in the US while the planes perform their tasks. We could do the same with Oil Rig divers, one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
But the biggest benefit I can see is that we can use that technology to work on our own bodies, well not our own, but a trained doctor can cut you open, with feedback from your body, and go in. Ooops a bit unclear so magnify by 5 via voice control, the program colours the organs etc differently so you can see and then you make the cut with a finger touch. OK they can do some of that now but it requires a surgeon to look through a microscope, sometime for hours, and have very steady hands. Some tasks are impossible because the tolerances are too small. This should fix that.
Then of course the bit we have all been waiting for really. The program where you run your hands over Jenna Jameson. Mmmm. First smell her, then touch her and what next? I wonder what the future holds. A real Holodeck like in Star Trek? I hope so.
I see this as a massive step forward for many things both at home as well as in business.
Touch and play
