Hi All,
I was not able to keep up with time in these recent days. Hence my slagging in publishing the latest content for which my sincere apologies. But don't worry guys, because I will try and make it up for you bringing you up to the date on all technological developments.
Last time, we were talking about Jim Ewing, a passionate rock climber who had personally opted for amputation. And the operation was a major success not just personally for Jim but as it had the capacity to revolutionize the whole Augmentation Industry. But all the thanks about it go to Hugh Herr, who had the inspiration and the fire in his heart for performing such a massive feat.
But, talking about fire, as in actual Fire, there have been quite a lot of deaths of common civilians but also brave fire-fighters who went forth willingly even in a glimmer of hope. And I must say it was about time, this industry was revolutionized too.
By a national census, every 3 hours, at least one person dies due to accidental fire. As for the United States especially, they have lost 3000 people to fires in their homes, consistently for 30 years. Otherwise, bluntly put, the USA has lost 90,000 people in the last 3 decades.
P.S. This is more than the population of Bhutan, but hey, no pressure...
As in the nationally recognized fire incident, the Worcester Fire, more than 10 firemen were lost simply because each pair went in to save the earlier pair but each and every pair was nothing but lost. But being lost was just an aftermath of the inability to see. As a matter of fact, the biggest challenge a fire-fighter has to face is the complete invisibility; to move forth even an inch, you have to feel your way if you are not stepping or going to trip over something. As a result, any fireman is especially given the training to overcome disorientation of his mental state on any such conditions of lack of vision, or running out of oxygen. Thus came forth a driving motivation for something new, something that would change the history of firefighting's history...C-Thru.
Its creator, Sam Cossman, CEO and Co-Founder of Quake Technologies says that the fact of looking at things through a new lens is one of the most important things that helped him envision it. When he first came to know that firefighting involves training their personnel to fell their way around the room, he was in complete incredulity. That was his true inspiration for C-Thru.
Now anyone who asked, "Hang on, how does any A.I. come in over here?" is someone who has truly been reading my posts and has given them some serious thought. Well, to answer you guys, there is indeed some slick A.I. at process here, and you guessed it...it's in the tiny computer on the side of the mask. These computers stream images from the thermal camera into an A.I. processor. This processor using Infrared light and a really powerful edge detection algorithm, the mask detects subtle changes in brightness to detect certain shapes that are hidden from the human eye. Shapes such as a wall hidden by smoke, or a kid hiding under a bed.
Now, I ask you to just sit back, think for a while, and then comment below if this wasn't a game-changing tech which would definitely save millions of lives in the long run.
...hope you enjoyed this extensive read which just might have sparked an innovative "fire" in your mind.
And don't forget to tell me if you indeed understood what I tried to imply from the title of this post.

Part globetrotting adrenaline junkie, part computer engineer, the self-proclaimed Indiana Jones of tech was the first to envision a device, kind of like an X-Ray vision.
Sam says that the real C-Thru deal is working for literally flipping the lights on for people operating in nil-visibility conditions. So, what it BASICALLY provides is enhanced audio(like of Iron Man's Helmet), enhanced vision(actually like THE Vision). But on the inside, all that it has is a mask and a thermal imaging device and then comes in the computer which processes the images, and outputs them as

Hey, I think I got it, it is as in the vision of The Vision from Marvel, right??? Atleast thats what I thought... Anyway, awesome post man, especially the way you put it... We all should really learn from people like Sam... he is definitely going to be in my idol list... All thanks to you...!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Hriday, got really late to read your post. Also as I said last time, you really have a way of binding your readers, awesome vocabulary too!
ReplyDeleteActually I wanted to ask you if you have written any books, because I have never heard of your books before. If you have, could you please send me their names...
And by the way, I didn't get the title on my own, I read the earlier comment... Nice way to put it by the way, The vision of Vision...
It is indeed a game changing tech..u really got good skills on holding your audience..best regards. Love to read your blogs
