Study: Your torso is more intuitive and precise than a joystick for piloting drones

According to a study by researchers from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the human torso can be used to control drones more accurately than joysticks in both real and simulated test runs. Data from the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), is now being used to apply the revolutionary body-machine-interface […]

Radiologists can now use interactive VR to gain a 360-degree view of internal anatomy, improving understanding and treatment of complex conditions

Interventional radiologists can take a quantum technological leap forward when it comes to preparing for complicated procedures involving splenic artery aneurysms (SAA). The use of augmented virtual reality (VR) to reveal the internal anatomy of a patient better than standard volume-rendering (SR) software will enable safer and more precise surgeries, according to a ScienceDaily article.

New bizarre ChameleonMask device allows you to send someone to an event in your place – wearing your face

When science fiction stories of the past first brought up the idea of being able to “upload” your consciousness into a separate, fully remote body, they usually meant something a little less organic than the human body. However, one Japanese firm has gone ahead with the rather bizarre idea of letting people use other actual […]

Former DARPA exec to head shady Facebook project called “Building 8” centered around augmented reality and brain-scanning technology

As if things weren’t already bad enough for Mark Zuckerberg’s baby, Facebook (the world’s least trusted company at this point), now they are apparently working on a secret project behind the scenes that has nothing to do with social media, and everything to do with scanning people’s brains as part of a sinister artificial intelligence […]

Experts warn that sex robots have caused a disturbing shift in our sexuality; now people avoid actual physical relationships because robots are “easier”

As if the human race hasn’t already diminished to the point of near-total soullessness, thanks to the rise of smartphones and social media, new research suggests that things could soon get a whole lot worse with the introduction of “sex robots.” According to one self-professing expert on the subject, the idea of having sex with […]

Virtual reality coming to journalism?

Virtual Reality (VR) continues its pervasive ascent. But it’s more than VR video games or VR movies where one purposely suspends cognition for entertainment purposes. In the past two years, the idea of “immersive journalism” has been barnstorming the newsroom. Nonny de la Peña is considered the Virtual Reality pioneer; she created the very first VR “journalistic” story called Hunger in Los […]
