The Future This Week: VR, Bionic Eyes, and Robotic Legs

The Future This Week, rencontre femmes joue l es tours view Serious Wonder straps on its robotic legs in search of this week’s headlines of the future, from bionic eyes to virtual reality (VR) haptic suits. This week is all about the human biological substrate, its limitations, and what scientists and engineers are doing to ensure a future where advanced technologies help humans overcome, and ultimately transcend, those biological limitations in the coming years.

prostituees yaounde Whether we’re using wearable technologies to help us alleviate certain physiological obstacles on a daily basis or we’re using technologies which fundamentally augment and/or enhance the human body altogether, the future is definitely heading into the direction of what is quickly becoming known as post-humanity. Imagine a future where humans are no longer the dominant, most intelligent species on the planet, but rather cyborgs whom were technologically enhanced via advanced cybernetics and gene-editing tools. Welcome to the future!

Japanese venture-company Innophys from the Tokyo University of Science has developed an exoskeleton back harness, known as the Muscle Suit, which will be capable of taking 66 pounds off of a heavy load for workers, thus reduce work-related back injuries. SOURCE

Keeping up with the present developments of advanced robotic limbs, the Department of Veteran Affairs has recently announced that they’ll now be footing the bill for robotic legs for all paralyzed veterans with spinal cord injuries. SOURCE
