Virtual Reality: An Insight Into The Future

Image
        We hope that someday, we would be able to escape into another world but we don't have to leave our world. We just have to put something over our  eyes and we are suddenly thrust into another world of someone's imagination.                                                 -Steven Spielberg-         The concept of virtual realty suggests a stimulated experience which could be similar to or completely different from the real world. The idea is to replace your reality with some computer generated environment. Virtual, augmented and mixed reality are generally called immersive technologies.  Augmented and mixed reality( jointly extended reality XR) are actually digital frameworks of vr based technology.       The historical journey of virtual reality began in the 1860s when Antonin Artuad adopted the vi...

The Problem Of 5G And Future Generations Of Cellular Technology

Image
  "5G will kill you"       If you're up - to - date with the latest technological developments,you have probably heard that statement before. The several stories of 5g circulating the Internet have left many excited and pumped about the coming of 5g and a few of them scared about its rumored side effects. In spite of the rumors about the health hazards of 5g caused by its higher energy radiations, the problem of 5g is inherent and will only get worse for future, more advanced generations of cellular technology.      5g stands for "Fifth Generation of Cellular Technology" and is the latest development in the world of internet connection. By the time it is fully implemented, it is going to give us data rates as high as 10Gbps making it up to 100 times faster than 4g. Although smartphone companies across the world began employing 5g in 2019, the world's first working 5g was built as far back as in 2013 when Samsung developed the world's first 5g mmWave m...

      If the price of bitcoin goes down, i lose money. I might pump but i don't dump.                                                                                                        -Elon Musk-          A cryptocurrency is a virtual currency composed of a collection of binary data which functions as a medium of exchange using strong cryptography to prevent counterfeit.

Vacuum Trains: The Future of Transportation

Image
      "With this technology, you can travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 45 minutes".    Does that sound too good to be true? If so, get ready to be thrilled. In this article, you'll discover how Vacuum Trains can make this become a reality.     It might surprise you to know that the idea of vacuum trains appeared more than a century ago. It was introduced by an American engineer Robert Goddard in 1904 who produced several prototypes of these trains. Elon Musk in 2012 reiterated this idea even though he now called them "hyperloops". When it is finished, a hyperloop will travel as fast as 800mph. Some of the companies dedicated to the revolution are: Virgin Hyperloop, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, Transpod, Arrivo and so on. It is absolutely right to say these ideas are out of the paper and are becoming a reality as he first ride in a hyperloop occured in November 2020. It was conducted by Virgin Hyperloop with just two of their em...

     You wake up on a beautiful Monday morning only to realise that you are 30 minutes away from resumption time at work. You hurriedly prepare and somehow manage to leave the house in just 15 minutes. You jump right into the car and hit the road. You are then greeted by a long queue of cars all in the same situation as yourself. It's clear, you're gonna be late for work - ''again''.    Flying cars date back to as early as 1917 when Glen Curtis built a vehicle called an autoplane. As time went by, other inventors like Constantinos Vlachos, Waldo Waterman amidst a couple of others made improvements on this already existing form of transportation. Of recent though, the possibility of completely eliminating traffic congestions is embracing reality. In fact, earlier this year on April 15, the world's first consumer flying car showroom was established in California. Flying cars can help to control the rate of traffic jams across the globe. But they will have to b...
