A few days ago, I read some interesting information about brain computer interface simulations and it really fascinated me. It is a direct connection with the brain connected to a simulation computer. The computer transmits data to the participant, reads and understands it and then responds to their desires and actions. Along with the simulated world, this interaction is amazing. It even gives a feedback on the results. The participant may temporarily forget that they are induced into a virtual world but their consciousness is represented by an avatar, which may be slightly different in appearance to the actual participant.
Brain simulations are used in so many ways now due to the latest technology. So I'm sure that we will no longer have to think for ourselves with the assistance of brain simulation. How cool would it be to simulate what your brain will think of in the near future or perhaps simulate a friend's brain just to trick them.
After viewing this short video, you will understand how simple instructions commanded by a person's brain trasnmits into a working hand to open and close. Now the process may be complicated but once everything falls into place, the working hand understands exactly what the person wants it to do.
For
these recent years, Google has been working on a big project, innovating new technology
that makes people’s life better, more secure and more comfortable with
Self-Driving car. People who have ridden them often quickly response that it’s
obvious that computer is a far better driver than human. Business Insider
explains that Google uses lasers and radar as sensor to monitor and process
immense number of inputs as well as react and responses to situation faster
than human ever could.
This
project is still unfinished but the day for us to enjoy this technology is
drawing near. Google has so far making a great progress, the cars under the
computer control have been driven for over 500,000 miles without accidents.
However, Google still have several enticing challenges to work out, such as,
driving in snow, unmapped roads, driving through construction zones, accident
zones and other situations. This challenges are not easy to dealt with, so the
“drawing near” I mentioned earlier is equal “several years to take” but apart
from this let’s just enjoy the video below.
In
the short video, a blind man walks out of his house and gets to one of
Google's robotic Cars, equipped with high-tech device and tool. The man,
Steve Mahan says, "Where this would change my life is to give me the
independence and the flexibility to go the places I both want to go and need to
go when I need to do those things”. At the end, Google says Mahan is the first
customer of Google's self-driving car, calling him "self-driving car user
#0000000001". He is really lucky right?.
So
how is your feeling with this great technology, imagine going anywhere without
road planning, imagine going a long trip with a car without even driving it,
you can texting, playing with your kids and enjoy the trip along the way. But hold
on, what if the car hits others or accident occurs in a way the computer and
robot do not recognise, who the police should blame? The robot? The computer?
The car? Or Google?. Let’s wait for the answer. Links for: PictureVideoSource
Google
once again making our life much easier than ever with augmented-reality glass.
This glass offer what a person could do with a smartphone, such as taking a
picture and sending a message. It says that these have indirectly showed us the
glimpse of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system working behind the scenes.
AI
system basically describes a computer system that accommodate human behaviour,
through features such as speech and gesture recognition as well as mimic human
thinking. It could make wearable computers like Google’s Project Glass to
function beyond what we thought and take care of complex tasks, but how does it
feel when we wear it?, To know more about how the glass function and how it help
us in daily life, Google has released a video showing from the wearer’s
perspective. Let’s check it out!
It’s
cool isn’t it. However, just like a proverbial that said, “There is a bad part
of every good thing”. This seems to happen on Google’s Project Glass. How
come??. Well, there is a growing concern about “thing” that has been a problem
all this time, it is Privacy. Recently, there are banning on the use of the
glass in a few place of US. Why?? Let’s think this way, if you are on a place
or doing an activity that you don’t want others to know, but sadly someone who
wear the Project Glass record your activity and shared it, how would you feel?. Other example, when in a museum or concert where taking
picture is prohibited but the visitors can do it without being noticed by the
guard. These are things that made people worried. But for us who would like to get
hold of The Google’s Project Glass let’s just hope the majority of the
politician disagree with the banning.
