Bruce Branit shows us how we will create virtual worlds: World Builder – [youtube.com] A strange man uses holographic tools to build a world for the woman he loves. This is a short by filmmaker Bruce Branit known also as the co-creator of 405. BRANITFX – [branitfx.com] 405 – [405themovie.com]

Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, or waves of photons, that have a very short wavelength and corresponding high frequency. They are associated with the decay of high energy states in atomic nuclei and are considered to be a high energy form of radiation. When stars that are burning out at the end [...]

We have become accustomed to the term, “virtual reality” and can understand (mostly through science-fiction) how it may have a profound future influence on our lives. Perhaps the term, “projected reality” is more apt. Or we can create several different categories. Projected realities come in two primary forms: Remote projected reality – an actual reality [...]

The first season of “Heroes” on TV, introduced the concept of zugunruhe, a German word that describes anxious, restless movement, often associated with migration. When a change comes, some species feel the urge to migrate. They call it zugunruhe. A pull of the soul to a far-off place. Following a scent in the wind, a [...]

The day is coming soon when we will use software agents that do integrity checking just as readily as we now use spell checkers. For an individual or group to be considered in a state of high integrity, we require behavior (actions taken) that is consistent with a framework of principles or ethic values. In [...]

The Visual Information SOuRce (VISOR) device evolved from several sources including eye-glasses, contact lenses and various types of heads-up displays. Augmented reality technology added information to all of these interfaces as well as other devices. Advances in 3-D techniques enhanced heads-up displays to create full stereoscopic presentations. As nanotechnology became routinely embedded in most common [...]

Welcome to The Physics of Superheroes By James Kakalios! – [physicsofsuperheroes.com] In The Physics of Superheroes: Spectacular Second Edition, Professor James Kakalios explains in a fun and accessible manner a broad range of physics, from Isaac Newton to the transistor — but there’s not an inclined plane or pulley in sight! Rather, all of the [...]

Tactile Feedback (TF) skin is more commonly known as “touchy-feely” skin. As nanotechnology based artificial skins became more sophisticated and thinner, two way tactile communications has become a basic feature. When nano responsive skins were first being developed, most of the early functions involved basic hygiene; specifically the breathing and moisture control needed for long [...]

The cradle is a modular “body support” system that is a hybrid of ideas found in the designs of an acceleration couch, exoskeleton frameworks, and nanotechnology spacesuits. Acceleration couch – a couch designed to absorb acceleration forces and protect the human reclining in the couch. The most advanced forms use liquid gel nano-foams that can [...]

Mote Net Computing (MNC) was developed out of swarm technology. As self organizing swarm-nets of motes became more available, they started being used for background computational purposes. Each mote generally has a low level of computational power, but because there are so many of them, as the net becomes large, the power also scales well. [...]
