What advanced inventions have been realized in the film?

Man is an animal living by dreams. From the first day of human existence, dreams have inspired the whole human race to keep moving forward and realize those things that seemed out of reach at that time. Since the invention of the film, dreamers have had an intuitive dream-making tool, and all unrealistic ideas can be transformed into pictures and presented to the public. The future can turn more concepts into reality and help the development of human society. In fact, these inventions are not out of reach. If you have good ideas and realizable ideas, you can entrust Baten Patent Baba Office to help you apply for a patent and realize it.

1. Nike automatic lace-up shoes

Related works: Back to the Future Part II.

Actual equipment: Nike Mag20 15

In the movie "Back to the Future Part II", we saw a Nike shoe that can automatically tie the shoelaces, which must be the gospel of many lazy people. In fact, this concept shoe has come out, but it is not "complete". On 20 1 1 year, Nike launched a limited edition of this automatic shoe, and only sold 1500 pairs worldwide, but it can't automatically tie the shoelaces, and can only realize the luminous function in movies.

So, will the real automatic shoelaces be realized? At present, Nike has officially applied for a patent for this technology, which will integrate sensors that can detect ankles and adjust the heels of shoes, and design a button on shoes to automatically fasten and loosen shoelaces. It is reported that in 20 15 years, we can really wear this kind of convenient shoes (although how many people will choose this kind of shoes is still a question).

2. Smart glasses

Movie Works: Mission Impossible 4, Red Battlefield

Reality device: Google Glass

In "Mission Impossible 4" and other movies, the contact lenses we see can display superimposed layers, label and analyze the reality, and also have the functions of taking pictures and recognizing faces. Contact lenses on the Red Battlefield can also change the retina. In reality, the closest product at present is smart glasses like Google Glass. Although the technology is not perfect, Google Glass has been able to achieve some augmented reality wearing experiences, but at present, most products are still too dependent on smartphones, or their shapes are too big and weird to be as difficult to detect as in movies.

However, Google has begun to develop contact smart glasses, which will be used to monitor the blood sugar level of diabetic patients; Belgian scientists also realized the application of SMS and notification viewing by integrating flexible screens into contact lenses. However, in the case of privacy and moral disputes over Google Glass, even if it is technically feasible, the more concealed contact smart glasses will not be applied in real life in the short term, but it is certain that smart glasses are becoming more and more common wearable devices.

3. Gesture operation

Related works: Minority Report and Iron Man series.

Real equipment: LeapMotion, MYO wristband

In Minority Report, Tom Cruise stood in front of a transparent computer screen and used gestures, which was impressive. In Iron Man, this operation has evolved to the point where no special gloves are needed, and it can be realized directly by gesture sliding and finger scaling. In fact, this kind of computer operation is quite common in science fiction movies and TV works. At present, there is more than one device that can realize similar experience.

For example, gesture-operated PC Leap Motion can not only be purchased separately, but also be integrated into some HP notebooks. Through it, rich gesture operations can be realized in Windows PCs, and it can also be used in games. Similar products include MYO wristbands. Using the bioelectricity principle, wearing a wristband on the arm can realize the gesture operation of iOS, Android, Mac and Windows devices, and the effect is more accurate. In addition, with augmented reality head-mounted displays such as Oculus Rift, a more immersive computer experience can be realized.

4. Holographic projection technology

Related works: Avatar and Star Wars series.

Real equipment: 3D holographic projector

As early as 1977, george lucas showed us the advanced technology in the vast universe through Star Wars, such as laser sword, R2D2, spacecraft and the ever-present 3D projection communication machine. In the film, the Jedi can make holographic video calls with others through a compass-sized device; Decades later, "Avatar", 3D holographic projection technology has become more realistic, and it can clearly display more details and annotations, which is a bit of augmented reality. In fact, this holographic imaging technology is not difficult to see in all kinds of science fiction movies, and there are not a few practical application examples.

For example, at the concert of Japanese virtual idol Hatsune Miku, Hatsune Hatsune was displayed by 3D holographic projection technology, which was quite realistic. In the field of large-scale concerts and news reports at home and abroad, 3D holographic projection technology has been applied more than once. However, the projection equipment is still quite large and expensive, and it will take time to imagine that it is so small in Star Wars.

5. Driverless cars

Related works: Knight Rider and Transformers series.

Reality device: Google cars

For self-driving cars, the post-80s generation may be most familiar with the hit TV series Knight Rider (the movie version was released in 2008). Kit, a cool artificial intelligence chariot, can not only drive automatically, but also chat and joke with the protagonist. Of course, it is also equipped with cool weapons. Although the autobots in Transformers are strictly aliens, they are also self-driving cars, so we are very much looking forward to this kind of products coming into reality.

Google once again satisfied people's dreams. Through the integration of artificial intelligence, visual computing, radar and global positioning system, Google's self-driving car realized automatic driving in many places in the United States in 20 10. Of course, for the sake of safety, drivers are actually equipped to prevent accidents during driving. But in general, driverless cars are the innovation that the automobile industry is about to face. In 2035, the number of self-driving cars in the world is expected to exceed 50 million.

6. Intelligent armor

Related works: Special Forces, Iron Man series.

Realistic equipment: talos combat suit

If the high-tech combat suit in Iron Man is too avant-garde, then the "MC camouflage combat suit" and "exoskeleton combat armor" equipped by the hero in the special forces are obviously closer to reality. In fact, the US military has also invested a lot of time and cost in research and development in this field.

I have to mention the TALOS combat suit here, which has made great progress in recent years. It can not only monitor the health level of soldiers, but also establish a perfect communication equipment. It is also very possible to integrate hydraulic armor, which can instantly increase strength to achieve super protection, and can also instantly increase the explosive power of soldiers to achieve the lethality of "Iron Man".

7. Robot Police

Related works: robocop

Real equipment: remote robot

Robocop is a very classic film, and the remake will be released in China in the near future. Police officer Murphy will once again wage a fierce battle with the mob through his super fighting capacity. Of course, the theme of robot police is very extensive, and the recently hit American TV series Heart of the Machine is also a similar theme. But will robot police become a reality? Won't it try to replace humans like Terminator?

Judging from the performance of Telebot, a robot policeman in reality, it seems that our worries are somewhat redundant. This weird-looking big guy doesn't look close to the human body, and there is no artificial intelligence. Instead, he needs users to remotely control through the Oculus Rift augmented reality display to perform some operations in high-risk areas. Obviously, although smarter robots can help us accomplish many things, we don't want them to have a sense of autonomy and eventually become enemies of mankind.

8. artificial intelligence

Related works: A. Me and her.

Real equipment: IBM Watson supercomputer

Artificial intelligence (AI) is actually a very low-level but critical technology, which can bring a brand-new application experience to current digital devices. For example, smart phones and wearable devices can learn users' usage habits and collect and present information independently; Or let the robot think for itself. In Spielberg's Me and Her (starring joaquin phoenix and Scarlett Johansson), we all feel that artificial intelligence has been fully exerted: it can turn a cold computer into a human being.

Back to reality, the most widely known artificial intelligence at present is IBM's supercomputer "Watson", which has repeatedly defeated the smartest human player in the most popular quiz TV show "Danger Edge" in the United States. Previously, the "Deep Blue" computer also defeated the chess master. The next development of artificial intelligence is consumerization. At present, Google has acquired DeepMind, an artificial intelligence startup, with the intention of introducing more advanced algorithms into search engines, mobile platforms and wearable devices, which is still very exciting.

Obviously, in addition to flying cars or spaceships that can jump and distort space, many digital products in science fiction movies have made us feel normal. Thanks to the rapid development of science and technology, advanced smart phones, wearable devices, "Internet of Things" technology and patented Baba patented e-commerce platform have made our lives easier and more comfortable; We also hope to witness more scientific and technological products moving from concept to reality in the future.
