Virtual reality and its use in high-risk missions


Maybe soldier of tomorrow looks like

VR or virtual reality is an ultimate tool for fun and work. Virtual reality will make movies look like that the person is inside the happenings. And this is the reason, why VR is the very effective tool for many other things like pilot training. The ball-simulators what are used in training, have revolutionized the training of military and civil pilots. This equipment is an ultimate tool also for medical doctors, who might use virtual reality controlled robots as their "esoteric bodies". That would bring qualified medical services to areas, where have been dangerous to work before. That equipment can serve in South-Pole and spaceships, where they can work with the crew.


But Virtual reality can offer many more options, what the humans could ever imagine. If those ball-simulators would connect to drones, the pilot could make missions with remote-controlled aircraft. The same computer games, what are simulating tanks, submarines and aircraft can be transformed as the user interfaces for robots. The thing goes, that when the operator chooses some weapon from the screen, the system would automatically choose the right ammunition, put it in the tube and shoot it. That ammunition can be marked with RFID, and the system can use this equipment to choose right grenades or bullets. And this would make those things very frightening and same time fascinated thing.


The VR is basing the technology, where the small screen would be put on the person's eyes, and also headphones can be used for making those experiences real. And the virtual reality set could be connected to the robot, what operates in the remote area. The touch of those robots can transmitter to the operator by radio, and if this person uses gloves, what are equipped with small piezoelectric components, could that person feel same things, what he touches by using the remote robot.


Bur Google and many other corporations are creating the robots, what can be used by EEG. This equipment might be in the helmet, what this operator wears when the person controls the robots, what might look like humans. The helmet is chosen because that would put the electrodes in the right place. And the two-way data transmission would also stimulate brain core, what gives real "esoteric" experience for the user of those robots. Which means that this is the technical version of "OBE" (Out Of Body) experience.


 This kind of device can revolutionize everything, what have seen or what we have believed. If this machine works somewhere, it can transmit same experience to the operator than this person would be in there. And that kind of robots might be very effective in space exploring missions. They could send to the moon and other planets without the need to risk the human life.


But the same robots can work as military officers. They could be remotely controlled from thousands of kilometers from the battlefield. Also, those robots can use in many high-risk military operations, and nobody ever can catch them. Robots can equip with internal explosives, what would destroy them, and the operators would be unable to track. And this makes them useful for violent criminal activities like robberies.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
