A New Era of Computers (TED TALKS)

Through out the history of computers we have have been striving to shorten the gap between us and the digital information. The gap between our physical world and the world we have created where our imagination can go wild. And indeed this gap has become shorter and shorter and shorter yet again.

Now as is evident from the above diagram this gap is shortened to less than a millimeter i.e the thickness of a touchscreen glass and the power of computing has become accessible to all.

But what if there could be no boundary at all. So a tool was created which penetrates into the digital field so when somebody presses it hard on a screen it transfers its physical body into pixels.

Now by using this technology designers can materialize their ideas directly in 3D. So with this tool this boundary has been broken. But unfortunately the tool still remains outside the screen. So the next dilemma was that how can one reach inside and interact with the digital information using the full dexterity of our hands.

So a computer was designed that turned a little space above the key board to a digital work-space by combining a transistor display and an in depth camera précising your fingers. Now one can lift up his/her hand from the keyboard and reach inside the screen in 3D space and grab pixels with your bare hands because now windows and files have been positioned into real space.

So selecting them now is as easy as grabbing a book off your shelves.

After that one can flip through this book highlighting the lines, words and the virtual touch below each window.With this technology architects can now design models with their two hands directly.

But how about reversing this role and having the digital information reach us instead. I am sure that many people have had the experience of buying and returning items online. But now one does not have to worry about the fact, how will these items look in real life. This could be especially useful for those people who have a very strong NFT (i.e Need For Touch). So an online feeding room can be made. This is a view that one will get from head mounted or see through display when the system understands the geology of your body.

So now shopping for items online has become that much easier because now one can view from ones own home whether a particular item will fit or not.
