Communications in the future – Amazing Demonstration of Mind Reading Using Special Headset

WorldInFuture — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 08:36:50 +0000

According to Wikipedia, Mind reading refer to telepathy, the transfer of information between individuals by means other than the five senses.

Mind-reading is no longer science fiction. In the near future we can expect a number of steps to improve communication with the thoughts, and the first step is to talk through our thoughts with the computer.

This system should provide that, instead of keyboard and mouse, we use our brain waves to provide a computer instructions on what to do.

The system looks simple. First, the user has to train the system to recognize his thoughts by imagining a certain action (for example, move the mouse pointer on the screen). Next time the system recognizes that thought, it will perform the action for which it is associated.

View a demo of this system and be amazed. It is a live demonstration where Tan Le’s astonishing new computer interface reads its user’s brainwaves, making it possible to control virtual objects, and even physical electronics, with mere thoughts (and a little concentration). She demos the headset, and talks about its far-reaching applications.

Touch Virtual 3D Objects With Your Hands

Imagine playing 3D shooting game in your home with virtual weapons and bullets. Not yet possible but also not so far in future from us.

With this new technology you are able to touch and feel hologram objects and that will have great impact on future entertainment, marketing, 3D CAD, etc.

No words or images can describe the feeling, but this video alone is just awesome.

Top 4 Sources Of Energy In Future World

WorldInFuture — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 07:32:42 +0000

Although the world’s oil reserves are substantial and new discoveries doubtless remain to be found, there is no doubt that oil, coal, natural gas and other hydrocarbons are a finite resource and will eventually be exhausted.Â What to do then?Â Will Western Civilization disappear like the Easter Islanders after they cut down their last tree?Â Or, will we find new energy sources to replace them.Â If so, what might they be?

Solar Power

Concentrating solar power in deserts is a technology that could supply enough electricity to power the whole of Europe!

Concentrating solar power involves using arrays of mirrors to focus large amounts of sunlight onto a small area. This creates extremely high levels of heat, which can be converted into electricity using a steam turbine or Stirling engineâ€“ or stored in tanks of molten salt to provide power at night or on cloudy days.

Solar power from deserts

Electricity from the deserts could be transferred to population centres thousands of miles away using high-voltage direct-current cables.

Geothermal Energy

The extraordinary amount of heat seething below Earth’s hard rocky crust could help supply the world with a significant fraction of the electricity it will need in the future, with minimal environmental impact. Readily available in various geographical regions throughout the world, both on land and under the sea, this energy source alone could provide enough clean energy for the next thousand years.

Geothermal energy

Unlike conventional power plants that burn coal, natural gas or oil, no fuel is required. And unlike solar power, a geothermal plant draws energy night and day.

Underwater Turbines

These underwater structures are designed to convert a portion of the flow of the Gulf Stream through turbines to generate clean electric power. These slow rotating turbines would have a centrifugal separator and deflectors to prevent harm to marine life.

Bering Strait Bridge

Making a bridge across the Bering Strait would join the two largest masses of land together on Earth. It’s a connection between North America and Asia!

The primary function of this span would be to generate electrical power and house facilities for collecting and processing marine products. Beneath and above the ocean surface would be tunnels for the transport of both passengers and freight.

Bering Strait Bridge to connect North America and Asia

Not only could this structure provide a physical link between Asia and North America, it could also serve as an avenue for social and cultural exchange. This land bridge would perhaps serve as a base for the development of clean fusion power.
