Right now our top of the line advanced technology that has to do with 3-D virtual reality are being used for fun, like in games, movies, etc. Why is this? Before the engineers can really use this new technology and see what it can be used for in our day-to-day lives, they must flex their muscles. It may be fun, but for the engineer, they are looking at this new advanced technology beyond the game aspects.
The most recent technology that we all have seen on CNN during the Presidential Election coverage was the hologram projection. As has been told by the critics, it was only projected on a monitor. Another words the people at the CNN news room did not actually see the two individuals that was being projected in a hologram image. this of course does not mean this technology is purposeless. CNN was simply showing off the wonders of technology.
I hope one day that some educational program can go in detail of this new technology and the possibilities it will have in the future, and when we may be able to see them in production. CNN took a leap of faith in this new technology. They apparently saw something wonderful from it. I am sure they would not have spent all that money on using this technology if it did not have some kind of a future. This of course is not the only technical wonder.
Virtual reality has been around for going on 6 years now. SecondLife is a vast and a giant in the virtual world today. Spite our economy, the United States of America is still excelling in this new age, "The Technology Age." It perplexes me to see how fast technology has grown. The first microchip was designed in the early 1970s.
When the Internet was introduced to the market place and the rest of the world in the early 1990s, it has grow faster then anything known to mankind. The first text based websites were obsolete before the decade was out. Now the old static design of websites have recently be replaced by a Content Management System (CMS). There are still some websites that are designed in a static format, but not many. Church websites are in a CMS design. Why is this? In with a small Church, they are a number of ministries.
Each ministry goes their own way within the same church organization. The big importance in having CMS is that not many are computer savvy less alone web design savvy. If one can use a word processor, they can easily use CMS based application to post their web page. CMS is that simple. CMS also has great security. The department or ministry can only log into their own web page. All the web master has to do is link the pages to the home page.
With this new 3-D technology we have gone past the simple still graphic or even basic 2-D animations. As with virtual worlds like SecondLife, we can see a real world and interact within it in real time. One day computer engineers will push passed all this and make something more productive then what we have today. Yes, games are the big thing in 3-D virtual worlds, but as our imaginations grow within what we have now, there is no telling what the future has in store. They say that the children are the future. We seen that in the 2008 Presidential Election. Now that this young generation has both hands on the reins, what more can they do?
Movies are starting to grow just for the IMAX format. Think about having one day a monitor that surpasses the IMAX screen. We have already have HD TV in our homes. What will we have next in our homes? With this new hologram idea technology, we might not have television screens any more. Just a holographic projection on the table, floor or where ever we want it to show up on. The limit to our technology is the imagination of each and everyone of us. Believe it or not, do to social media, we all can make a difference in our technology wonders in years to come.
Blessed Be to Isis and you,
