How Future Technology Works - How It Works

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.
