Remember the scene in Ironman 2 when Tony Stark was deep in thoughts with his Stark Expo's fairground kind of thing. Here you go - it will come back to you .
In the first film Tony had a desk to specially cast holograms and even interact with it (how cool is that!) Now in the second film, his whole workshop had the ability to do that.
Halfway through revising I suddenly thought of this, when he had created a holographic representation of whatever was physically on his desk. We know that holographic projectors already exist. But, given that a program can perform a job of reproducing a physical item virtually within mere seconds, it's quite something to think about, isn't it? Yes, I know, it's all fictional. But afterall it's technology. Everything about the movie is technology, it's not like a superpower. So I'm wondering if it can be actually created. Naive, maybe. But just, food for thought. What did I mean by a holographic representation, take a look at the following. CGI, of course, but it's the most apt image I could manage.
Awesome. Suppose you throw in real-time updates of what takes place through a video feed, I can totally imagine it's usefulness already. Military, for example. Actually, truth to be told, I'm not sure if technology like this exists yet. Close, probably.
Meanwhile, on my minor research into Tony's technology, I went on to find out more about possibilities of an Ironman. Doesn't really sound too distant, however at the same time it does as well. Here you go:
I like the idea of this. Not as if I would ever possess it supposing it comes true, though. Just interesting to know that it's humanly possible to achieve. Money, technology, time. Well so, with the infographic above that's a very brief summary of the current standings on research into specific areas.
To end off this post, I am going to make this a very bandwidth exhaustive post.
22 more-than-High Definition movie stills! I ♥ HD!
Clickable!
37, maybe 36 during filming, but woah!
High 5.
Hope you had a good, smooth time scrolling, because it wasn't on my system
