Recent conversations about completely unrelated technologies with my friend Alden<\/a> had me coming back to the blog so I can share with you some of my visions of what I really expect the future to bring one day in terms of technology. Some of these ideas will seem far fetched, but hey, dreaming is free.<\/p>\n

I’ll be writing about these visions in posts to come, some of them I think I could even be part of right now to start changing the lives of millions, others I know are completely out of my reach. VCs and Entrepreneurs start taking notes and steal the ideas.<\/p>\n

The End of Computer and TV Screens<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want to live in a world where I don’t need a computer screen to use an operating system or watch tv or movies.
\nI want to live in a world where there’s no limit in screen resolution, where I’ll be only limited by the capacity of my brain to process images.<\/p>\n

I think the solutions will be implemented somehow (we’re thinking very high level here) in the following stages:<\/p>\n

The Visual Stream will be “projected” first onto my retina<\/strong>, it’ll be part of a pair of sun glasses, or glasses. In the same device there’s also a camera and microphone that exists to read my arms\/hands gestures and to interpret voice commands.<\/p>\n

Months later they’ll come up with smaller, better technology that can be embedded in contact lenses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You could achieve this stages, at first using an external device for processing the data, namely your smartphone<\/strong> connects to the Retina Projector Wirelessly. As technology gets better (maybe truly powerful nano-computing happens) all the processing could be done in the the glasses or contact lenses themselves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Years go by and then it happens the way it should. The user interface and video streams are projected directly into our Brain’s Visual Cortex<\/strong>, all input from you (arms, fingers, facial gestures and maybe even thoughts) is read directly from different sections of the brain.<\/p>\n

The applications would be amazing, content could be delivered directly to us, no need for computers or even a workplace. This would kill huge part of the electronics industry and would create a replacing technological field (brain processing units -> BPUs<\/strong>) so we get a better experience year after year. <\/p>\n

If you’re currently working with a computer in an office 24\/7, you could be doing that laying by a pool with your eyes closed not moving an inch of your body, yet being extremely productive or entertained. How many times I’m extremely busy but I feel bad that I haven’t gone to the gym or for a walk to get a little workout, I wouldn’t have to hold my smartphone and read that tiny ass screen, I could be walking and reading news, a book, or watching tv in a translucent screen the size of the sky if I wanted to. <\/p>\n

There is be no IMAX theater screen that can match the size of a screen that’s as big as your imagination.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more tangible visions on Brain Computer Interaction, and ideas for Smartphone software that we could be building today (had I the resources to do so)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
